We design and install intelligent lighting control systems that transform the atmosphere of your home at a button press — or automatically, based on time, occupancy, and the wider smart home scene.
Good lighting design is one of the most transformative things you can do to a home. Intelligent lighting control takes it further — giving you the ability to set the perfect atmosphere for every moment, without thinking about it. Whether it's a bright kitchen at 7am, a warm dinner scene at 7pm, or a gentle nightlight at 3am, your lighting responds to your life.
We install and programme lighting control systems from Lutron and Rako — the two most respected names in the industry — alongside Control integration for whole-home scenes.
One button for "Dinner", one for "Movie", one for "Good Night". Every light in the room adjusts instantly. No individual switches, no fiddling — just the right atmosphere, immediately.
Leave the house and turn off every light from the hallway — or from your phone. Come home to a "Welcome" scene already set. Never wonder if you left the lights on again.
Away on holiday? Lighting scenes simulate occupancy automatically. Alarm triggered? Every light in the house flashes. Your lighting is part of your security system.
Running lights at 90% saves 10% on energy and doubles bulb life — and the difference is imperceptible. Across a whole home, the savings are significant.
Blinds, curtains and shutters integrated into your lighting scenes. Close the blinds as the sun sets, open them at sunrise, or control remotely — all one system.
Two world-class platforms with decades of proven reliability. Beautiful keypads. Flawless dimming. Wireless or wired. We specify the right system for your project.
We work with you — and your architect or interior designer if relevant — to plan the lighting layout from scratch. Room-by-room light level plans, circuit schedules, and keypad positioning are all part of our design process. The result is a system as well thought through as it is beautiful to use.
The difference between a house with dimmers and a house with lighting design is scenes. "Evening" sets the kitchen, dining and hall in one press. "Cook" brings the worktops up bright. "Movie" fades the lounge. "Goodnight" turns off every light in the house from the bedside. Each scene is designed for the room and how it's used — rather than a generic preset.
Designer keypads replace banks of switches: one elegant plate where four or five plastic switches used to be, engraved with what each button does.
We design and install the leading lighting control platforms: Lutron for the finest keypads and shading, Rako for elegant wireless retrofit, and Control4 lighting for homes with wider automation. All three integrate with each other and with audio, video, heating and security. Existing Rako and Lutron systems can be extended, updated and given proper scenes.
Circadian tuning shifts colour temperature through the day — bright and cool for a working morning, warm and low by evening — and daylight sensing keeps rooms at the right level without anyone touching a switch.
In an existing home, wireless dimmers and keypads deliver full scene control with no re-wiring. In a new build or renovation we design the lighting circuits and control alongside your electrician and lighting design, so the result looks designed rather than installed. Across Chester, Cheshire, the Wirral, Trafford and North Wales.
Yes. Wireless dimmers and keypads from Rako, Lutron and Control4 give full scene control in an existing home with no chasing of walls. New builds get cabled control designed in from the start.
All three are excellent; the right choice depends on the home. Lutron leads on keypad design and shading, Rako on wireless retrofit, Control4 lighting on whole-home automation. We design with whichever suits and they integrate with each other.
Yes — we extend, update and re-program existing systems, adding scenes, keypads and integration with audio, video and heating.
Usually, yes. We check the dimming compatibility of every circuit and specify drivers and dimmers that give smooth, flicker-free control down to low levels.
Yes. Scenes run lights at the level a room needs rather than full brightness, occupancy and daylight sensing switch off what isn't needed, and one press at night makes sure nothing is left on.
Yes. Wireless lighting control from Rako or Lutron fits behind the existing switch plate or in the ceiling void, with battery keypads that need no cable, so original plaster, panelling and cornicing are untouched. It is our usual approach for listed buildings, barn conversions and Georgian and Victorian houses across Cheshire and North Wales.
Yes. Existing Rako, Lutron and Control4 lighting systems are surveyed, updated and re-programmed around how the house is used now — new scenes, new keypads where useful, and integration with the rest of the home — including systems installed by other companies.
