Lighting Control, Masterfully Installed

The best lighting is only as good as the control system behind it. Our lighting control installations give you intuitive command over every circuit: from elegant wall keypads and mobile apps to automated scenes that respond to time, occupancy, and daylight. We are certified installers for Lutron, Control4, Crestron, and Rako.

Keypad design is an art form in itself. We specify and install custom-engraved keypads with buttons labelled for specific scenes: Welcome, Entertain, Relax, Cinema, Goodnight. Engraving can match your interior font choices, and finishes include matte white, brushed metal, glass, and even leather. For period properties, we offer antique brass and bronze finishes that complement traditional decor.

Programming transforms hardware into experience. Our certified programmers create custom scenes and schedules that match your daily rhythms. Lights that gradually brighten in the morning, dim automatically at sunset, and extinguish when the house is unoccupied. Integration with your smart home system means lighting responds to security events, climate changes, and entertainment modes automatically.

Common Questions

Control FAQs

What is a lighting control system?

A lighting control system replaces traditional wall switches with intelligent dimmers, keypads, and automated schedules that manage every light in your home. Rather than walking from room to room to adjust switches, you control the entire house from elegant wall panels, a mobile app, or voice commands. Systems can dim individual circuits, activate pre-programmed scenes, respond to time of day or occupancy, and integrate with shading, climate, and security.

Which lighting control brands do you install?

We are certified installers for Lutron, Control4, Crestron, and Rako. Lutron is the industry standard for dimming performance and offers the most extensive range of keypads and wireless options. Control4 provides excellent integration with other smart home subsystems at competitive prices. Crestron offers the most sophisticated programming capabilities for complex estates. Rako is ideal for wireless retrofits in period properties. We recommend the platform that best fits your specific needs and budget.

Can lighting control be installed in an existing home?

Yes, though the approach differs from new builds. For existing properties, we offer wireless systems such as Lutron RA2 Select and Rako that communicate without new cabling. Where the existing wiring infrastructure is suitable, we can install wired dimmers that replace standard switches. In properties undergoing renovation, we run new control cabling during the building work. Our retrofit specialists assess your property to determine the most appropriate and least disruptive solution.

What are lighting scenes?

Scenes are pre-programmed combinations of light levels across multiple circuits that create specific atmospheres at the touch of a button. A Welcome scene might set hallway and kitchen lights to 80%. An Entertain scene dims dining lights to 40% while highlighting artwork at 100%. A Cinema scene extinguishes all ambient light except subtle cove illumination at 5%. A Goodnight scene turns off all lights except a dimmed path to the bedroom. We create bespoke scenes based on how you actually live.

Can lighting control save energy?

Yes, significantly. Dimming a light by 25% reduces energy consumption by approximately 20% while extending lamp life. Occupancy sensors ensure lights are never left on in empty rooms. Daylight harvesting dims artificial light when natural light is sufficient. Astronomical timers operate outdoor lights only during darkness. Scheduling ensures lights are off when the house is unoccupied. Combined, these features typically reduce lighting energy consumption by 30% to 50%.

How much does a lighting control system cost?

A single-room wireless system with four circuits typically costs £2,000 to £4,000. A whole-home wired system for a four-bedroom property ranges from £10,000 to £25,000. Large estates with extensive circuits, custom keypads, and sophisticated programming can exceed £50,000. We provide itemised quotations that separate hardware, installation, and programming costs, allowing you to phase the investment room by room.
