A professional design considers layers (ambient, task, accent), color temperature, dimming curves, and how light changes through the day. We also factor in your automation and how lighting interacts with entertainment and daily routines. The result is a cohesive plan instead of a collection of fixtures. DIY can work for simple rooms, but for whole-home or complex spaces, a designer saves you from costly mistakes. Let's talk about your project.
Circadian lighting adjusts color temperature through the day — cooler in the morning to boost alertness, warmer in the evening to support sleep. It mimics natural daylight and can improve mood, focus, and sleep quality. We're not saying you need it everywhere, but in bedrooms, home offices, and main living spaces it can make a real difference. We can add it to new builds or retrofit existing fixtures. See our lighting solutions for more.
Both. LED fixtures use way less power than incandescent, and smart controls mean lights turn off when rooms are empty and dim when natural light is enough. Schedules and occupancy sensors add up — many clients see noticeable drops in their electric bill. Plus you get convenience: one tap for "All off" or automatic dusk-to-dawn for landscape lighting. It's a win-win. Check out our gallery for real-world examples.
It depends. We work with Lutron and Control4, which offer dimmer and switch replacements that work with existing fixtures — no need to change every light. For new construction or full remodels, we often specify fixtures and controls together for a cleaner look. We'll assess your current setup and recommend the most cost-effective path. Schedule a consultation and we'll take a look.
Outdoor lighting extends your usable space and adds safety and curb appeal. We design path lighting, uplighting for trees and architecture, and deck/patio zones that tie into your indoor system. Controls can be automated (dusk-to-dawn, motion) and integrated with home automation and security. Wisconsin weather is tough on gear — we use fixtures built for it. Explore our lighting solutions for more.
We primarily use Lutron and Control4 — they're reliable, scalable, and integrate well with the rest of a smart home. Lutron is the gold standard for dimming and shades; Control4 is great for whole-home control. Both offer keypads, apps, and voice control. We've used them for years and they just work. You can read more in our about section, or reach out to discuss your project.
Yes. When lighting is part of your automation system, it can tie into movie mode, party mode, or "relax" — dim the lights when the projector turns on, or set the mood when music starts. We design everything to work together. If you're building a home theater or media room, lighting is a key part of the experience. We'll make sure it's all coordinated.
It varies. A single-room refresh might be a few days; a full custom design with new fixtures and control systems can take several weeks. We'll give you a clear timeline during the design phase. We also offer maintenance so you're covered after we're done. Ready to get started? Get in touch and we'll map it out.
