What size house absolutely needs a home theater?
No home absolutely has to have a home theater, but most very large custom homes with 10,000 square feet or more need more than just a basic entertainment system. Acoustics are different in more spacious houses, and larger systems are necessary for sound and video to have maximum impact.
What components are found in home theater systems?
Most Houston home theater systems have separate video processors and audio processors that allow them to render both sound and image in high definition quality. Amplifiers and high end speakers are a must, because home theater sound normally separates sound effects, voice, and background sounds to mimic real world action. Smaller home theater automation systems may use a flat-screen plasma television for video, but home theaters use a projector and projection screen to create a fully cinematic experience.
Why can’t people just go to a home theater store and buy what they need?
Because stores only provide equipment; they install the equipment. They will often refer a customer to an electrical contractor for installation, but these contractors often run into difficulties themselves. Tuning a system’s acoustics is not as easy as one would think. Without a sound working knowledge of architecture, and without details on the particular room the home theater is installed in, it is difficult for even an expert electrician to get the sound just right.
How are Houston home theaters by ILD installed differently?
We carefully examine the entire home before we even begin to recommend home theater design equipment. A very large house will often have several rooms that could make a good home theater room. However, there is always that one that is the best room in the home for entertainment. Our job is to locate that room, and then get with the architect or interior designer who designed it and gather specifics about the acoustical qualities of the materials used to build the interior.
This will tell us a great deal about which speakers, amplifiers, and controls to use, and how best to synchronize specification-grade home theater and automation equipment (not sold in retail stores) to the exact harmonics and structure of the room itself.
One thing that is something of an absolute rule to us is that we will not install wall or ceiling-mounted speakers. These mountings may appear highly sophisticated, but they do not amplify nor reflect sound waves correctly in relation to the seating of the audience.
What Other components of Houston home theater does ILD frequently install?
We use a number of projectors and screens for premium high-definition video, including DVD Servers that can hold up to 500 DVD’s and CD Servers than can record 12,000 CD’s. We also install home theater seats that electronically recline, and we specializing in integrating home automation and lighting controls with home theater that can rival the best of Houston’s public entertainment venues.
What services other than home theaters does ILD offer?
Illuminations Lighting Design is a full service design build firm specializing in residential and commercial indoor lighting and outdoor lighting, electrical service and maintenance as well as home automation, home theaters, emergency generators, surge protection systems, and phone systems.

Electronic House Magazine features Illuminations Lighting Design home theater in December 2007 issue. The article titled "Playroom Transformed into Home Theater" describes how a simple kid's playroom was converted into a high tech home media room. This home theater system installed by Illuminations Lighting combines the highest professional grade equipment with a custom configuration built according to the specific dynamics of an individual home. While less expensive retail equipment offers a tempting do-it-yourself savings, a home theater from Illuminations Lighting Design represents one domain that requires maximum investment for full enjoyment and satisfaction.
Playroom Transformed into Home Theater
From stuffed animals to subwoofers, with children grown, this family updates a forgotten playroom into a well-used home theater.
This bonus room functioned admirably for many years as a child’s playroom. Stuffed with games, toys and a 24-inch analog TV, it had everything a kid could want. But that was then. Now that the owners’ kids are 10 and 15, the family craves a space that’s more grown up. Illuminations Lighting Design of Houston, TX, had just the thing. The home theater design and home automation installers would convert this outdated 20' x 24' extra room into an age-appropriate home theater and gaming mecca. The bookcase was reconfigured slightly to make room for an 84-inch-wide Stewart Filmscreen screen, three Vienna Acoustics Grand Series Haydn bookshelf speakers (the two rear surround speakers were placed on stands near the back of the room), and two REL R-Series sub woofers. Also tucked inside were a high-def cable box, Marantz 5.1 surround-sound receiver and DVD player, Sony VCR, APC H-Series power conditioner with surge suppression and battery backup, and PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 gaming consoles. Phantom LED light strips were installed as showcase lighting and to provide a home theater lighting source when watching movies or relaxing in the room.
A specially programmed Universal Remote Control MX350 handheld controller lets the family switch between movies and games with the touch of one button. No matter what digital media the family chooses to watch, the ceiling-mounted Runco CL-420 video projector is up for the challenge. During daytime viewing, the machine receives a helping hand from motorized Lutron blackout shades that lower over the windows on command from the MX350.
For clientele who have an ardent interest in stereo or high fidelity sound reproduction the decision to invest wisely in a media system design are never disappointed when they turn to ILD to make their dreams for a home theater system become a tangible, personalized reality tailor-made for their home and individual lifestyle.

In one sense, interactive media design reverses the information age, where machines feed content to the Mind of Man. With interactive media design, it is different. Home automation connects the human mind to a computer network that links all home subsystems together into a command center of audio visual feeds and push button convenience.
It sounds simple, and it really is, at least from the end user’s perspective. Interactive media design links every lifestyle element together into a central computer that is programmed with multiple subroutines containing embedded algorithms that regulate everything from climate control to home theater and home security to audio and video feeds. Interactive media design touch panels installed on walls and hand-held wireless remotes allow anyone familiar with a few basic command sequences to activate the most advanced electrical design and lighting technology available on today’s market.
No two of these systems are identical. We design interactive media systems custom to the client’s home environment, daily lifestyle, and personal desires. As we receive increasing numbers of calls daily from inquirers wanting to know more about our services, we decided to post a few of our question/answer sessions for quick reference.
Q: If media refers to broadcast information, how can you say home automation is actually a form of interactive media design?
A: Actually it is the other way around. Home automation is any computer-driven network that operates on a series of embedded commands that operate various home sub systems and network. Home automation itself is combination electrical design and computer programming. Interactive media design extends home automation control and interface to audio and video devices so that information can be sent back to the person and not just from the person.
Q: What elements of home media does interactive design tie together?
A: Essentially, interactive media unites the phone system, indoor television with outdoor security cameras and gate access control. We also tie our home automation section in with the HVAC system, allowing a homeowner to regulate the temperature even while traveling on the road. HVAC controls can be turned on and off at will whenever!
Q: Is interactive media designed provide updates, weather reports, and entertainment like traditional meda?
A: It can be. Our home theater customers enjoy one-touch control of music and video anytime they want to watch their favorite movie with background music. We have been asked on occasions to link computers and flat panels together, thus uniting TV and Internet for a client so they can watch satellite TV feeds through DSL or cable. This is rare, but we do get these requests at times.
Q: How extensively does interactive media design depend on the Internet? What if DSL goes down?
A: Interactive media does not depend on the Internet at all. The Internet is only one of many tools that clients can use to control the system. The central computer controls indoor and landscape lighting and the HVAC system. Homeowners can log into their home automation network and turn the lights on and off and control climate within the home while online. If your DSL or Cable goes down, your home automation system will still work, as the backbone of this system is the sophisticated electrical designing and programming, not the home computer.

Illuminations Lighting professionals design media rooms for Houston clients seeking an experience that surpasses that of public cinema. We build each project around four key elements that we then customize and personalize specific to each clients desires, lifestyle, and home environment. This multi-specialty approach to media room design differentiates the genius of our Houston home automation division from our competitors and offers an unparalleled, one-source synthesis of aesthetic effects and state of the art equipment. Each aspect of media room design is treated as a specialty unto itself, requiring a synthesis of interdisciplinary designer cross training, technical expertise, and advanced automation programming and controls to effectively create. The following summaries indicate these basic elements of media room design and the core from which we expand and customize each project into a truly home theater system.
Video Sourcing and Positioning:
It is important to consider that film is first and foremost a visual medium. Every Media room design must give priority attention to the screen as the visual focal point for the audience. Our clients are often surprised to learn that we do not always recommend the largest room in the home as the location for the home theater. Our primary concern is video sourcing and positioning.
Audio Equipment and Positioning:
Two major factors determine acoustical equipment and positioning: the size and shape of the room itself, and the acoustical qualities of the materials composing the ceilings, floors, and walls. Developing the audio segment of the media rooms design requires the type of advanced architectural and construction cross training our specialists undergo.
Lighting Design and Effects:
To design a media room for Houston residents that never makes them want to leave home again requires us to go beyond the normal lighting fixtures of public theater houses. Our lighting design for media rooms must do three things to accomplish this task. Click here to learn what they…

Illuminations Lighting Design home theater designs offer the astute consumer a truly superior cinematic experience. Home theater designs must reflect, balance, and work in complete harmony with its immediate environment and end-user commands. Audio and video are both directly affected by architectural acoustics, interior lighting, and natural light encroaching into the home, so truly exceptional home theater designs must consist of multiple design layers where key components are balanced and networked together to provide a harmonious audiovisual unity that works in tandem with homeowner controls and automation and lighting programs. Lighting also plays a critical role in home theater design, requiring a tricky balance at all times between functional illumination for comfort and safety and dimmer, specialty light for film viewing and appropriate special effects. Automated, home theater seats are the latest innovation in home theater design, adding physical movement to motion pictures and making home theater a truly moving experience that movie houses still do not offer to this day.
Every home theater design we produce is custom-developed through a series of consultations we conduct at your residence. We use advanced CAD software to designate control locations and wiring designs for automated controls and subsystems, and we build visual models of layered lighting and acoustical affects. The resulting 3-D visual schematic of our proposed home theater design allows you to clearly visualize the outcome and to play an interactive role in the design process. Upon approval of the proposal, our team then conducts a series of highly detailed, systematic tests on room acoustics and lighting levels. We use this data to then select the very best audiovisual equipment for your particular home theater design.
Our certification and extensive experience in electrical design and home automation makes it possible to design a home theater in virtually any size room or custom floor plan, provided the environment offers exceptional acoustic potential. We partner with top architectural firms to learn the nuances of their industry, and then we apply that to your custom project. We analyze acoustical qualities of wood, stone, interior brick, and other composite materials that will function as the physical housing of the new home theater. Systematic analysis of ceiling height and corner angles enable us to precisely anticipate the optimal audio frequency that will deliver the maximum quality of sound in that particular room. This data in turn helps us determine the size, number, manufacture, and placement of forward and surround sound speakers and audio distribution systems.
As distributors of every major television and sound system manufacturer in the world, we have an available inventory that is actually larger than that of any home theater store, and we choose that equipment after we develop the superior acoustics and lighting effects so there is never a conflict between theory and form. It is so much better to hire ILD for your home theater design than to spend gas and travel time going to a home theater store. We not only build the system just for you, but we build it with manufacturer grade lights and theater that only that only authorized distributors such as ILD can legally resell.
As home theater design becomes increasingly popular and sophisticated, more people are calling ILD to give an experience beyond retail that makes staying at home more fun that going to the movies ever was. Why not become a part of that growing group of satisfied clientele?

The main drawback of self-installed home theater systems is the inability of retail grade components to exactly match acoustics with the size and configuration of a room’s interior architecture. Retail components of home theater systems are engineered for mass production and sale, and consequently manufacturers use less expensive materials in building these components. While self-installations can sometimes produce a close equivalent to public theater, sound produced by retail components will never completely eliminate muffling, reverb, and acoustical dead spots that only professionally fine-tuned, manufacturer grade components can accomplish. However, when a multi-specialty distributor such as Illuminations Lighting builds a home theater system with any number and combination of literally thousands of possible professional grade components, it becomes not only possible to equal public entertainment, but to surpass it altogether.
Representing companies such as Sony, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Runco, Sharp, Boston Acoustics, Vienna, and Triad, ILD also provides superior sound, video, and audio distribution equipment for home theater systems. We can select any size and configuration of speaker, front or rear end projector, flat panel television, and surround sound distribution system and literally build a home theater system into the existing floor plan, physical size, interior design, and specific location and architecture of the room. We even install special home theater seats that move with the action of the movie---something public cinema has yet to do.
Because of their extensive cross training in architecture and interior design, ILD engineers can actually assist a homeowner choose the ideal location to set up the home theater system. Such factors as ceiling height, wall and ceiling material build, and even the angles and positions of corners and large decorations play a major role in how sound travels and reflects in a room. Lighting represents another critical factor that requires a trained, professional eye to design. Few rooms in modern homes are windowless, so limiting natural light and creating special lighting effects require not only commercial grade lighting equipment, but also lighting automation programming that is only available through a team trained in home automation technology. We program hundreds of lighting combinations, colored lighting effects, and dimmable lighting options into your system and bring them directly under your control at the touch of a button.
Clients who make the wise decision to invest in high expectations are never disappointed when they turn to ILD to make their dreams for a home theater system become a tangible, personalized reality. Why not become one of these satisfied clients day by calling 713-863-1133 . See what your home can do that no other home—or even public cinema—can even come close to doing.

Home theater design consists of much more than high-powered televisions and surround sound speakers. To be truly competitive with public movie houses, and to offer the eclectic homeowner a truly superior cinematic encounter, home theater design must reflect, balance, and work in complete harmony with its immediate environment and end-user commands. As sound and video are both directly affected by architectural acoustics, interior lighting, and natural light encroaching into the home, exceptional home theater design actually consists of multiple design layers where key components are balanced and networked together to provide a harmonious audiovisual unity that works in tandem with homeowner controls and automation and lighting programs. This requires both a multi-specialty skill set and access to literally thousands of audiovisual devices in order to provide a truly custom home theater design specific to the taste and desires of the individual client.
Our team initiates every home theater design project with a systematic and detailed consultation with the client. We develop a soft copy of the system first, using CAD software to represent individual audio/visual components, map out the automation and networking of controls and subsystems, and build visual models of layered lighting and acoustical affects. The resulting 3-D visual schematic of our proposed home theater design allows the client to clearly visualize the outcome and instantly provide us with feedback or request for changes prior to purchasing equipment of accruing labor costs.
Upon client approval of the proposal, our team then conducts a series of highly detailed, systematic tests on room acoustics and lighting levels. We measure window dimensions and corresponding natural light levels in order to determine which methods of natural light control will work best in that particular home theater design. We draw upon years of cross-training and partnership with major building contractors and architectural firms to carefully assess the acoustical qualities of wood, stone, interior brick, and other composite materials that will function as the physical housing of the new home theater. Systematic analysis of ceiling height and corner angles enables us to precisely anticipate the optimal audio frequency that will deliver the maximum quality of sound in that particular room. This data in turn helps us determine the size, number, manufacture, and placement of forward and surround sound speakers and audio distribution systems. Our certification and extensive experience in electrical design and home automation makes it possible to design a home theater in virtually any size room or custom floor plan, provided the environment offers exceptional acoustic potential.
We rely heavily upon client preference for television and projector selection. Often this is simply a matter of taste. Some clients prefer front-end projection screens that fill an entire wall. Others prefer their home theater designed around smaller, flat screen televisions that sit within the wall or an entertainment system. Regardless of build or model ultimately installed, each television and projection system features professional grade components whose picture quality, anticipated lifespan, and level of customization far surpass retail equivalents that may appear, but by no means function, the same.
Lighting also plays a critical role in home theater design, requiring a tight balance between functional light for comfort and safety and dim and speciality light for film viewing and appropriate special effects. Our relationship with over 20 major lighting manufacturers enables our home theater design team to select energy-saving, high-end lighting equipment that delivers the exact level of control and flexibility necessary to customize lighting to movie genre, historical period, audience, and homeowner preference. Our technicians can turn direct control of these lighting levels over to the host, or we can link multiple lighting levels and effects back to a central home automation control unit, using sensors and timers to automatically dim the lights the moment the host hits “play.”
As ever-growing numbers of people return home for entertainment that offers direct participation and personal control, home theater design becomes increasingly popular and sophisticated. ILD leads the way in this new, exciting, and continuously evolving industry. Contact Us at 713-863-1133 and learn how we can design a home theater for you!

As a Houston based company, Illuminations Lighting and Design services a broad segment of the Houston homeowner community. We routinely encounter extremely large and custom homes and unique architecture throughout the many neighborhoods we service. As such, home automation for Houston clientele has to be a custom science congruent to the diversity of the marketplace. As an unzoned city, the diversity of floor plans we frequently find even in smaller neighborhoods such as the Upper Kirby district requires further innovation in home automation design and installation. As a vendor of cutting edge technology from every major manufacturer, and with a trained staff certified in both residential and electrical contracting, we specialize in a level of home automation consulting, creative solutions, and equipment installation unparalleled in the Houston marketplace and quite possibly any marketplace throughout the Lone Star State.
Spanning a geographic area second only in size to Los Angeles, Houston requires a significant commute to work from almost any location on the city map. As such, Houstonians fight traffic delays and road construction daily both to and from the pressure cooker workplace of the world's energy capital. When they return home, they want stress relief, convenience, and entertainment on demand. The home automation systems we install for these individuals must reflect both downtime and unique personal lifestyle to truly accommodate client needs. Setting the right mood after returning home from an exhausting day in the office requires one-touch control of one's automated home lighting system. With Vantage lighting products, ILD clients can choose between keypads or touch panels and give themselves control of both brightness levels that set mood and lighting scenes that reflect activities, function, decorative themes, and private events.
Many residents of large and custom homes especially like the interactive home automation available through AMX, Vantage and Lutron controls, where a central processor ties together a series of touch pad or key panel controls, giving one the ability to manipulate light in individual rooms or select whole house lighting scenes. Another popular option for Houston homeowners is wireless home automation systems that require no rewiring within the existing architecture. For smaller homes we normally install a Lutron RadioRA system, and for larger or custom homes we utilize the Lutron RF system. Both home automation options utilize a special radio frequency to communicate between controls and devices, and their ability to adapt to existing wiring eliminates damages that can result from cheaper materials and generic installs.
Once the lighting sets the mood, it is time to truly unwind to some music or watch a movie favorite in the comfort and privacy of the home. For family members that want to watch the same movie from the privacy of separate rooms, we can install a home automation system with multiple TV's, DVD players, and media rooms throughout the house. We can then configure the very same home automation system to simultaneously manage musical selections, distributing both control of music sources and volume levels to LCD keypads placed in as many rooms of the house the owner desires. For this level of sophisticated entertainment, we often recommend that the overworked Houston homeowner invest a bit more in quality downtime by upgrading to a custom designed and installed ILD home automation theatre system replete with options ranging from multi-screen output, high definition projectors, shades automatically responsive to movie start times, and theatre screens that cover entire walls and output surround sound quality equivalent to the best movie houses in town.
As Houston continues to grow and its international business community continues to diversify into new industries and marketplaces, increasing numbers of Houstonians will come to value the uniqueness of a home automation system custom built from the ground up by Illuminations Lighting and Design. After fighting the detours, the heat and humidity, and the traffic jams, don't you deserve the best we have to offer? Contact us today at 713-863-1133 and let us assure you that you do.

A side from all the Audio/Video equipment, speaker and subwoofer placement is the foundation for a true home theater experience. The shape of the room, paint, furniture, texture of the walls and color of the walls and furniture can enhance or distort sound in a room; therefore, the ability to evaluate a room for proper placement of speakers and subwoofers becomes even more crucial.
Some of the basic factors used to determine the placement are:
Room size
Room shape
Speakers installation (in-wall, in-ceiling, floor standing, etc)
Speaker and subwoofer specifications
Primary viewing distance
Secondary viewing
To truly understand the importance of speaker placement, let us for a moment wear our physicists' hat. Sound behaves just like light. There is reflection, refraction and diffusion of sound in a room. If the speakers are not placed in most optimized locations, there will be dead zones as well as really loud zones in the room. This will cause some viewers to turn up the volume while others will want to lower the volume depending on the seating location.
