Specialized Texas Electrical Services

Truly effective Texas electrical service requires much more than simple wiring and electricity. Today’s houses and buildings are so much more sophisticated than they were in the past; featuring more elaborate floor plans, more space consolidation, automated wiring and more custom interior architecture.

When you find yourself facing a basic or minor electrical problem, more than likely you would want to work with a local company in your area. It is usually more cost effective to go with someone within your own community who can be there on the same day or the day after, and who can show you a great deal of personal attention.

However, more extensive and complex services like whole house surge suppression, power backup, new home wiring and electrical emergency generator installation, often demand that small, local Texas electrical service companies call upon Houston-based Illuminations Lighting and Design to add their expertise, personnel, and training in a team work capacity to deliver a comprehensive solution to the eclectic Texas homeowner.

More advanced electrical service work that may not be available in your area can be obtained for larger projects by contacting ILD directly. The following represents just a few of the major project services we offer to large estates and custom homes throughout the Houston area and Texas Hill Country.

Electrical Home Remodeling
Surge Suppressors, Backup Power, and Electrical Generators
Your electrical service could be interrupted by any number of causes, chief among which are severe weather conditions unique to both Central Texas and the Texas Gulf Coast Region.

All along the Texas Coast, Houston, Beaumont, Galveston County are hit every year by tropical storms. At other times, we are hit by full force hurricanes. Residents of Austin, Texas, San Antonio, Brenham, TX, La Grange, Columbus, and Bastrop, Texas at times get struck by violent thunderstorms and hail, and many times face the threat of tornadoes.

Every house in Texas should be protected by multiple ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI).
A GFCI is a vital safety component that protects children and pets in much the same way that a circuit breaker or fuse protects the circuit panel. If the wire becomes frayed or gets wet, this can cause the power to suddenly spike. When a spike occurs, the GFCI immediately senses the upsurge and shuts down the circuit, thus minimizing the treat of electrocution.

Any time the power goes out completely in a neighborhood or small town in Texas, electrical service may not be immediately available due to inclement weather. In such an instance, having a commercial grade, dependable generator for emergency power can keep you in touch with the world and maintain the basic power requirements of your home until the power is restored.

Custom homeowners in Texas should strongly consider contacting a specialty electrical service firm like ILD to install a whole house surge suppression system. This will safeguard their investment in their home lighting systems and controls. Extremely remote locations often experience spikes in electrical service that can blow out circuits and electronic equipment in the home.

Again, this service proves to be of immense benefits to both Gulf Coast clients and Hill Country Clients alike. Everything from hurricanes and tropical storms to tornadoes and thunderstorms with hail can strike down power lines and send surges of high voltage straight into homes. By protecting your house with surge suppression, you can weather the storm without having to replace entire systems when the rains clear.

Advanced Electrical Services: Custom Home Wiring, Lighting Control, and Home Automation
Even the best Texas electrical service professionals often require training in skill sets beyond the boundaries of standard electrical work. Today’s home theater systems, whole house audio systems, and advanced home security controls require advanced knowledge of computers, security controls, lighting control software, and home theater components that can only be gained through cross training and partnerships with specialists who are familiar with these disciplines.

This is where Illuminations Lighting outshines its competition in advanced electrical services to Texas homeowners with eclectic tastes and highly customized home architecture. Our electric service professionals cross train and partner with our lighting control and home automation services, combining two divisions into one solid team when exceptional delivery power is required in the field.

Regardless of whether you need a new home theater, a Vantage control software upgrade, Lutron wallbox dimmers, or a Radio RA wireless lighting control system, you can depend Texas electrical service technicians and lighting design experts to lay the strongest possible foundation of service and functionality for any home networking, entertainment, or command control objectives your preference and lifestyle requires.

Illuminations Lighting and Design is a full-service vendor of Texas electrical service work, commercial and home lighting design, fine art lighting and lighting control and automation systems. Most of our electrical service work is concentrated in the area between Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. Occasionally we go as far north as Dallas and Fort Worth for major projects, and we work nationwide as a lighting design and electrical service contractor for high-end lighting projects at resorts, hotels, country clubs, and exclusive restaurants.

Call us today for a free consultation at 1-800-863-1184. Consultants are standing by to assist your with any custom project in Texas.

Art Lighting as Art with Illuminations Lighting Design.

Can lighting be a form of art?
Yes, but in order to make Art lighting a form of art in and of itself, you must first understand certain scientific and aesthetic qualities of light. Light functions as the supreme universal constant, because the speed of light is the fastest attainable velocity that can never be altered nor exceeded. Because light always travels in a straight line, any obstruction in its path casts a shadow. To some degree as well, light always reflects off any surface it strikes, and this is what makes it possible for us to see any work of art. Light also can fill a space without consuming it, making it possible to use any form of lighting as art provided the angle of incident is aimed correctly at the piece. Improper angles will not only create shadows resulting from light spillage, but they will create glare as the beam reflects off the surface of the work back toward the viewer’s eyes.

How do I completely eliminate glare and shadow?
You can’t completely eliminate glare and shadow in artwork lighting, because no matter what you do, some light is going to reflect off the piece, and sooner or later, the light will encounter some sort of obstruction that casts a shadow.

What a skillful are lighting designer can do is create an angle of incident (the angle at which the light strikes an object) that will position any resulting glare and shadow outside of the viewer’s line of sight.

The old cliche “Out of sight, out of mind,” rings very true when approaching art lighting as an art form unique unto itself.

How do I determine the correct angle of incident for my photography and paintings?
To do so, you or your lighting consultant must think of angles from a three dimensional rather than a two dimensional point of view. Light striking the surface of art from a nearby fixture constitutes one angle of incident. The reflected light coming back to the observer constitutes a second. The two must be measured carefully in relation to one another if one is to determine the appropriate position of any picture lighting fixture. If the right balance is struck, then reflective glare and resulting shadow will be hidden from his or her line of sight, allowing for an uninhibited experience of light and art from that particular viewing angle.

What factors go into determining the ideal angle of incident?
The art lighting interior designer must take several factors into account when installing an art lighting system. To begin with, the designer must pinpoint all points of observation within a room where viewers will possibly be standing when they view various works. These points will vary greatly according to the environment and the type of room involved. Vantage points in museums are very different from those in office foyers and private living rooms. Next, the fine art lighting company or designer has to look at the surface of the art itself to assess its reflective qualities. High-end photographs and many types of paint will many times cause the surface of the image to have a “sheen” that acts as a virtual mirror, casting not only reflected color back into the eyes, but portions of the light beam itself. Recessed lights equipped with dimmers are often required for such artwork in order to disperse illumination sufficiently not to shine back into the eyes.

Thirdly, one very essential aspect of modern art lighting as art that many fail to even consider is the size and type of frame housing the piece. Lighting that comes from a fixture that is placed too high will can actually be blocked by the upper lip of the frame and cast what is called a “frame shadow” over the work. Often, something so simple as adjusting the level of the painting can often remedy this problem in home lighting projects, although in formal galleries this may not be an option, and special fixtures with complex reflectors and filters may be needed to create an indirect “wash” of illumination that results in both painting and frame being bathed in a radiant field of light as opposed to a bright beam of focused, direct light.

What is the best fixture to use if I want to design my art lighting as art?
Perhaps one of the most valuable tools available to the art lighting consultant is a high-end art lighting projector that allows for precision lighting level adjustments, comes equipped with advanced lighting filters and special reflectors, and has the ability to proportionately size a beam to the precise dimensions of a work. Although this does not completely eliminate glare and shadow (which the laws of physics mandate are inevitable with any form of lighting), it does allow the collector or curator more power to control these negative elements, or in some cases, even turn them into art lighting attributes.

For example, many painters such as Goya, and certain genres such as surrealism, rely upon shadows to emphasize themes connected to the dark side of man, or the apparent duality of Nature itself. Placing too much light on such artwork will diminish its statement by overriding elements of shadow that the artist intended to be present. Phantom art lighting projectors can be dimmed and adjusted for such works so as to create a “lighted from within” effect that preserves the artist’s use of dark elements and negative images, providing just enough visibility for the viewer to see the work and its key aesthetic elements.

Disney selects Phantom Lighting for Parrot Cay restaurant on Disney Magic cruise ship.

When the imagineers at Disney wanted a special lighting projector to enhance the interior of the Parrot Cay restaurant, on the cruise ship Disney Magic, they specified Phantom Lighting a creation of Illuminations Lighting Design. What the Disney designers envisioned was a small recessed optical framing projector that would project patterns of light onto the walls and draperies to create a magical effect. They needed a framing projector that would project focused light, fit into a tight space, produce very little heat, operate at 220 volts and ship quickly. In order to meet Disney's specific resort lighting needs, the technicians at Phantom Lighting fabricated a custom holder that would accept a stainless steel pattern filter, or "gobo," which is typically used in theatrical lighting.

In addition, the Disney designers specified and are using Phantom Strip Lights in several of the many display cases located in a boutique on the ship. The small linear light source with remote transformers was perfect for the application.

In addition to creating a dazzling theatrical environment for the Disney company, the Phantom Contour Projector, with its control and precision, is the perfect compliment to your fine art collection. It truly brings objects of art to life - colors become more vivid and rich, forms more lustrous and distinct. The splendor of your art will dazzle you when you add the artistic illumination provided by the Phantom Contour Projector to creatively affect the palette of mood, whether bright and illustrious or subtle and warm.

This form of art lighting intensifies the magnificence of your art with a contoured light beam that flawlessly embraces the distinct outline of your individual pieces of art. Through the use of its standard or custom designed templates and an unbroken line of direct lighting, the Phantom Contour Projector provides luminescence for single, multiple and irregularly shaped art objects. Three different art lighting applications - one projector. With cutting-edge technology, this unseen projector can be used as far as 30 feet away to as close as just a few feet. The richness of your art will illuminate your environment with beauty and splendor. Additionally, Phantom offers five different housings to meet the needs of any project, from a remodel to a top access to surface mount.

Because needs are diverse, the Contour Projector provides options to fit almost any situation--whether you're one of the world's leading entertainment companies or simply looking to beautify your own home. For more information regarding Phantom Lighting System, please visit or call toll free 800-863-1184 to speak with Tom Kretzschmar.

Illuminating fine art and scupltures should not to be taken lightly!

Lighting fine art is not as easy as attaching a picture light on the frame or putting a light in the ceiling. It involves careful consideration of the type and style of art, temperature and humidity as well as how the light will affect the piece over the long run. All light bulbs emit ultraviolet and infrared radiation that can cause the temperatures on the surface of a painting to rise when the light is on and back to normal when the light is off. Over time, this can result in fading, cracking, and derogation of materials such as textiles. This is particularly true when using over the picture lights. So let's take a look at various light sources, light fixtures and learn how they might affect your art:

Infrared Heat & Ultraviolet Radiation

IR or infrared heat is an electromagnetic field capable of transferring energy from a source, such as a light fixture or fireplace, to a destination, such as the surfaces within a room like a painting. Radiation does not require an intervening medium; it can occur through a vacuum. It is responsible for the warming of the Earth by the sun. The sensitivity of paintings to ultraviolet and visible radiation varies, but illumination should not be excessive, nor should paintings be hung in direct, unfiltered sunlight. All light, particularly that in the ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) regions of the spectrum, induces chemical changes which age materials by degrading them. The most pernicious photochemical damage is caused by UV rays. IR radiation will cause chemical changes, and it accelerates the destructive effect of both UV light and visible radiation. Although not as profound in its destructive capacity as IR or UV, visible light can cause fading or darkening of some pigments. Photochemical deterioration, which occurs in organic objects such as works on paper and textiles, is cumulative and cannot be reversed. Extremes of temperature and humidity are also bad for paintings and they should be stored at temperatures within the range of 68-72 degrees F. The overall wattage of a light source is the main determinate of how much infrared and ultraviolet radiation is emitted. Remember, using low wattage lamps, the better off you are in protecting your art.

Types of Light Sources

Incandescent Lights
Standard incandescent light bulbs create a warm color that brings out the yellows and reds in art while flattering the blues and greens. They do generate some heat, however, and must be placed far enough away that the heat doesn't affect the artwork.

Halogen Lights
Halogens cast the purest white light, making them ideal for illuminating most art. They do generate a lot of heat, however, and must be placed far enough away that the heat doesn't affect the artwork. The halogen light source produces a pure white color of light which enhances all colors acrosss the spectrum.

Fluorescent Lights
Fluorescent lighting distorts the color of artwork, and the high level of ultraviolet rays emitted by fluorescent lights damage works of art by causing accelerated fading. Fluorescent light sources are not recommended for lighting artwork.

Fixture Styles

Picture lights
Surface mounted picture lights hang directly over a painting or are attached to the frame. These lights, due to their close proximity to the art, are the most likely to affect the art. Works of art on paper, which include prints, drawings in all media, pastels, photographs and works on related materials, are among the most vulnerable to excessive light and fluctuations of temperatures and humidity. They should not be exposed to direct light, unfiltered fluorescent lamps, or the heat of incandescent bulbs. The ultraviolet rays from fluorescent tubes will cause structural damage and oxidative reactions. Limiting light exposure protects paper and pigments from chemical and physical deterioration.

Adjustable Accent Lights
Recessed adjustable accent lights are available in primarily incandescent and halogen sources. In today's lighting fixtures, the MR16 halogen accent light is the preferred fixture for lighting art over traditional incandescent sources. The small size, high output and dichroic characteristics of the light bulb emit a cool beam of light that is art friendly. In case you are wondering, dichroic is a lighting term for a type of reflector that allows the infrared heat and ultraviolet radiation to exit the back of the lamp. Used in conjunction with a UV filter, the MR16 light adjustable accent produces hardly any damaging light and can be used on even the most sensitive and priceless works.

Framing Projectors
Recessed optical framing projectors are available in primarily incandescent and halogen sources. One again, the MR16 halogen accent light is the preferred light source for lighting art over traditional incandescent sources. The Phantom Contour Projector, for example, produces no harmful light rays or heat that will damage art. For this reason, many museums, private collectors and art galleries use projectors to enhance their art. Another advantage to using a Phantom optical framing projector is the unique ability to shape the light to the exact contour of the object without unsightly shadows created on the wall by the frame. The result is a magical "lighted from within look" that can only be appreciated when seen in person or by photography.

Position and Intensity of the Light

Reduce Glare
Place the light at a 30-degree angle to the work of art to minimize glare. Add 5 degrees to the angle for a larger frame, to avoid casting a shadow. Subtract 5 degrees from the position to accent the texture of a painting. You can offset the light in the ceiling to counteract glare from the normal viewing angle.

Avoid Heat Damage
Place lights far enough away from a painting to avoid possible heat damage. Heat can crack oil paintings. Take special care when using hot halogen lights. To test the heat from your lights, put your hand between the art and the light source. If you can feel heat from the light, it could potentially damage an oil painting.

Intensity
A general rule of thumb for accenting a piece of art is to light it three times brighter than the rest of the room. So if you have other lighting in the room it is best to install dimmer controls.

Summary

The professional lighting consultants at Illuminations Lighting Design are well versed in all forms of art, accent and display lighting for museums, private collectors and commercial applications. Illuminations' understands how color, texture, form and shadow can be molded creatively to produce the effect required. This can only be accomplished with the correct equipment and a complete knowledge of lamp types and lamp performance.

Illuminations is a full service design build firm specializing in residential and commercial indoor lighting and outdoor lighting installation, service and maintenance as well as home automation, home theaters and lighting control systems. For more information, please call 800-863-1184.
