GRAFIK Eye Systems for Commercial and Residential Clients from Illuminations Lighting Design in Houston Texas.


GRAFIK Eye 3000 and GRAFIK Eye 4000 series by Lutron offer theme-oriented lighting control to commercial and residential clients alike. These control systems create complex interplays between direct, indirect, functional and decorative light appropriate to mood, occasion, and room utilization. Such control allows a person to create multiple lighting themes using the same fixtures in a single lighting system. Keypad control units are programmed for whole house lighting control with one touch convenience to ensure safe, accurate, and instantly responsive operability for the end user.

Lutron GRAFIK Eye systems feature an intuitive memory that allows for multiple lighting scenes that can be programmed into the system. In one sense, this creates many virtual lighting systems from a single physical network of fixtures and wiring. Once lighting themes have been programmed into system memory, it is not necessary for the end user to remember which lights require specific settings. All the end-user needs to do is to select the appropriate lighting scene, and the control unit makes all necessary adjustments to the individual lighting fixtures within the room. Everything from luminance levels to fade in/fade out lighting control is accessed from simple buttons on a wall or tabletop control unit, or interfaced with a Lutron RADIO Ra system for wireless control.

However, the end user is by no means limited to strict parameters of any lighting scene. If necessary, each individual light on the system can also be adjusted manually for fine-tuning or special effects.

Lutron manufactures a number of GRAFIK Eye systems designed for both commercial and residential use.
Hospitality lighting clients such as hotels and restaurants often rely upon these controls to create special atmospheres within their enclosed spaces. This helps to establish a resort, dining room, or even hotel foyer as a separate, special place removed from the grind of daily life.

Commercial clients of
Illuminations Lighting design often requisition a GRAFIK Eye system for lighting control in executive offices and conference rooms. Most companies realize how important a first impression is upon a visitor and client, and they recognize the value in having not only impeccable lighting, but also flexible, custom lighting control in these areas to maximize emotional congruence to the occasion. Any number of lighting themes and adjustable lighting levels can be programmed into a boardroom lighting design to match agenda, activity, and presentation format. Executive office lighting can be adjusted to create an atmosphere of noticeable but nonetheless subtle tension for formal meetings or decorative ambience for less formal encounters or after hour’s visits with strategic partners and personal friends.

Residential clients who invest in a GRAFIK Eye system almost invariably report back to us that their house feels more like a personalized extension of their mind and lifestyle after our work is complete. The ability to make one’s own living space an extension of mental command is perhaps one of the highest conveniences a homeowner can expect from his or her investment in technology. ILD experts customize each scene on a room-by-room basis and also match those scenes to the activities and events that most frequently occur within particular rooms. Some homes, for instance, have elaborate custom kitchens for cooking and dinner parties. Others homes feature ornate custom architecture and rely upon whole house audio and home theater to provide entertainment for family and friends. GRAFIK Eye eliminates the need for the homeowner to become a self-educated technician because the interface is so quick and simple to use that no technical knowledge or skills are required to manipulate even the world’s most sophisticated commercial grade lighting fixtures.

Another arena where we are beginning to see a great deal of interest in GRAFIK Eye systems is in spiritual circles and houses of worship. With very few exceptions, almost the entire world’s many belief systems associate God and Divinity with Light, and some alternative spiritual paths believe that God and Light are synonymous. From a philosophical as well as an aesthetic perspective then, it makes sense that such an organization would want to have the very best lighting, and that they would want to adjust that lighting to be conducive to an attitude of prayer, meditation, and instructions in higher thought and morality.

Illuminations Lighting Design is a premier vendor of Lutron lighting controls and GRAFIK Eye systems for residences, office buildings, and hospitality oriented facilities. The exact controls used and the lighting themes preset within those controls requires dialogue and extensive consultation with our clients before final equipment selection is made.

Lutron Radio Ra provides home automation without rewiring or cutting the walls.


RadioRa, the world's first radio frequency lighting control system, uses innovative communication technology and built-in safeguards to ensure reliable wireless communication between all system components.

RadioRA can be installed in any home - including existing homes, late-stage construction, and new homes - without rewiring or patching and painting! Simply replace existing switches with Radio Ra dimmers and add master controllers to any convenient location to create one-touch lighting control of one room or your entire home. Illuminations Lighting Design is a RadioRA Preferred Systems Provider for Lutron dimming and control products, including HomeWorks.

Here are some of the possibilities with Radio Ra from Illuminations Lighting Design:


  • Turn lights on from a master control and never enter a dark house again.


  • Touch one button when you leave for a night out and set all your lights for an "at-home" look.


  • Create beautiful outdoor lighting environments with one touch of a button.


  • Use lighting to create the mood for a dinner party or for entertaining a house full of friends and family.


  • Bring the show to life with lighting that compliments any home theater, living room, family room or TV room.


  • Light your house with one touch of the All On button, Radio Ra can also be linked to your home's security system.


  • And the best for last. Are you frustrated with lights being left on at night? A single touch on a Master Control by the bed will turn off every light in the house. Prefer a nightlight? Radio Ra can be set up to leave one or more lights on at night.

For more information about Lutron RadioRA, HomeWorks and the HOME AUTOMATION SERVICES at Illuminations Lighting Design call 800-863-1133. One of our CEDIA CERTIFIED DESIGNERS will be glad to answer any questions you have or schedule a time to meet and discuss your home automation and lighting control needs.

Is it true that using dimmer controls really saves energy?


Yes it is! When dimming incandescent or fluorescent loads you can expect your energy savings to be roughly equal to the amount you dim the circuit (For example if you dim a circuit 10%, you will use 10% less energy than you would if you kept it on full). In addition, there is another really great reason to use dimmers throughout your house, and this is one most people don't realize: Dimming incandescent loads drastically increases lamp life (while you still get energy savings dimming fluorescent, there is no impact to it's lamp life by adding a dimmer). If you dim an incandescent load just 10% (a difference that would be barely noticeable to the human eye) the lamp life on those light bulbs will double. If you dim the lights 25%, the lamp life quadruples, and if you dim the light level 75% your lamp life extends more than 20 times! With the typical residential incandescent light bulbs having one of the shortest life spans out there (an average of 1-2000 hours), this can be a huge help, especially in hard to reach areas. Besides these great functional reasons to use dimmers, they are also key for adding flexibility to a space, giving the ability to set mood, and giving the ability to control aesthetics. Those are just some of the reasons that we recommend that our clients employ dimmers THROUGHOUT their home!
