Lighting That Adapts to How You Actually Live

In the evenings, it’s not too bright and harsh. In the mornings, never too dim and orange. And around the clock, your lighting always appears just right

That’s the power of tunable lighting systems, expertly designed by our Bay Area lighting company. Discover the possibilities with us.


When Your Lighting Doesn’t Work, You Notice It Every Day

It looks like: 

  • Walking into a dark house because switches are scattered everywhere
  • Kids leaving lights on in every room, for hours on end 
  • Blinding brightness in the middle of the night
  • Outdoor lighting that’s either too harsh or not doing anything at all
  • Shadows cast over the table while you cook, dine, or work 

Most homes aren’t actually designed for lighting. They’re just wired to pass inspection. That’s where our lighting designs differ. 

Get lighting designed around your home and habits

We design lighting systems that adjust automatically and use only the energy needed, nothing more.

That means lights default to your preferred brightness (not always 100%). One-button control can turn the whole house off when you leave. Tunable lighting systems shift with your day, from morning energy to warm, evening calm. And fixtures and controls that work together seamlessly. 

Use Less Energy Without a Second Thought

Energy efficiency isn’t just about finding the most eco-friendly bulbs (although we do that, too). It’s about how your entire system behaves. We design lighting to reduce waste at every level. 

We set smart lighting defaults dimmed slightly (around 75%), so as you turn on the lights, they’re saving energy from the start. We program automated schedules so lights aren’t left on all day, and motion-based sensors manage lights in low-use spaces, like garages. Plus, we select high-efficiency fixtures from brands like Lutron and DMF Lighting, so you’ll use less energy automatically and run your home smarter by default. 

Lighting That Quietly Solves Everyday Problems

Middle-of-the-night bathroom trips

Toe-kick lighting turns on at 10% or even 1% brightness when motion is detected, so no harsh overhead lights hurt your eyes.

Leaving the house

Press one “House Off” button and everything shuts down. No more running from room to room.

Evening wind-down

Lights gradually dim and shift to a warm hue to match your natural rhythm.

Outdoor lighting that works for you

Path lights, tree uplighting, and schedules that adjust colors with the holidays and seasons.

Customize Lighting Beyond ‘On’ and ‘Off’

Your lighting shouldn’t feel the same at 8 am and 10 pm. With tunable lighting control, we design environments that support how you want to feel. 

  • Cooler, brighter light in the morning to help you wake up
  • Warmer, softer light in the evening to help you wind down
  • Smooth transitions throughout the day that occur automatically

Lighting that goes beyond the basics

  • Linear and architectural lighting that highlights your home’s design
  • LED tape lighting for under cabinets, stairs, and accents
  • Outdoor lighting for safety, beauty, and automation

Permanent holiday lighting you’ll customize right from your phone

Set Your Home for the Holidays

Do you dread having to hang lights on the gutters every year? Why not install year-round lights that are color-tunable, right from your phone? And in the off-season, lights can be set to a subtle, warm white or disappear entirely. 

Smart outdoor lighting makes it easy to decorate your house in festive colors, including: 

  • Red, white, and blue for July 4th
  • Orange and purple for Halloween
  • Red, orange, and yellow for Thanksgiving 
  • Red and green, warm white, or blue for Christmas and Hanukkah 
  • Red and pink for Valentine’s Day 
  • Shades of green for St. Patrick’s Day 

A Clear Plan to Get Lighting Right the First Time

Our home lighting designers work with you, your builder, or your architect to plan for lighting before installation begins.
We create a detailed lighting plan, focused on how each space will actually be used.

 We implement fixtures, then program controls and automation so everything works together seamlessly.
