INITIAL MEETING

Before anything, you’ll meet with your lighting designer for an initial discovery meeting. They’ll be interested to know about your home, lifestyle, budget, and what you want and need from your lighting. This is the time to tell them how much space your lighting will cover. Do you need lighting design for just one or two rooms or your entire home? Will that include outdoor lighting?

They’ll also be interested in knowing what you want your lighting to bring to your home. Do you want integrated control? Do you want your lights and shades to adjust automatically to optimize natural light? Are you looking for tunable lighting systems that mimic the sun's movement and change automatically throughout the day? All of these questions will help the professional narrow down what systems may work best for you and how to design the lighting in the space.

CHOOSING THE SYSTEM AND DRAWING THE DESIGNS

After the initial meeting, the lighting professional will take everything they learned about you, your home, and your lifestyle to the drawing board. They will choose a system that they think works best for you regarding your wants, needs, and budget. For example, they could choose a wireless system, such as Lutron’s Radio RA3, for an easy install with integrated lighting control, or they could select a whole-home wired system. They’ll also draw up a design that shows where your lighting fixtures will go, so you can get a sense of how it’ll illuminate your home.

INSTALLATION AND AUTOMATION

After the designs are drawn and approved, it’s time for installation. Your lighting professionals will handle every aspect of installation, from the wiring to screwing in the light bulbs. Then, when they’ve finished the installation, they can integrate it into your home automation platform. They can show you how it works and help you set your lights on timers, create lighting scenes, and generally customize your lighting to your specific needs.
