Lighting Control System Design
Lighting control systems help our clients with long-term, accumulated savings on power costs. Our many years of experience in home automation and control have shown us that clients consistently save approximately 10% per annum on their power bills.
Vantage lighting control systems contain astronomical timers that control both indoor and outdoor lighting power and brightness levels.
Lutron Homeworks lighting control systems can manage motorized window shades and draperies at either preset intervals, or we can program them to respond to user commands via touch pads and remotes. They can also operate on either light or heat sensors, thus intuitively responding to their environment. This sophisticated efficiency works like clockwork, and it preserves equipment life up to 40%. By reducing maintenance calls and costs for our clients, we can provide additional, long-terms savings on unnecessary replacements. Return on investment in
Lutron Radio Ra lighting control systems is therefore reliable and measurable, and is one of the best financial investments ILD clients can make for themselves.
For over 30 years, ILD has grown to include a team of over 50 talented and dedicated employees. Specialty divisions have evolved that focus on disciplines like lighting design, electrical contracting services, landscape lighting maintenance and home automation.

Flexible enough to adapt to your daily needs, yet sensitive enough to set the most delicate mood.
Residential Lighting Design & Consultation
Lighting has the unique ability to reveal the world around us, shaping our vision and determining both the beauty and function of our surroundings. Illumination can sculpt spaces and create an infinite palette of different moods, but it can also render a space flat, harsh and uninviting if not applied with thought, care and knowledge. The experienced lighting designers and lighting consultants of Illuminations Lighting Design understand this elusive science. They also know their tools--the world's best lighting products--and how to effectively harness them.

My customers over in Bellaire that you outfitted with Phantom Lighting this summer are absolutely thrilled. Thank you so much for your suggestion to illuminate the family room display shelves. You were only there originally for the Butler’s pantry lighting and now the family room shelf lighting is their favorite thing in the house!!!!
Susan White
Bellaire, Texas
We are very happy with the new low voltage landscape lighting system that ILD installed in our front yard. I never imagined that lighting could make such a huge difference. We now have the best looking outdoor lighting in the neighborhood. The motion lights you suggested on the side of the house are very effective. Overall, we are pleased with the lighting and electrical work and will certainly refer your residential electrical contracting company to our friends!

I was visiting my next door neighbor over the weekend and she had just had your electricians out to adjust and install art lighting fixtures. She already had beautiful art, but your recessed art lighting looks amazing. I look forward to our appointment and meeting your lighting designer to upgrade our lighting as well.

What is custom home lighting?
Custom home lighting design is an eclectic, professional, and technologically sophisticated blend of art, math, and hard science. It is cost efficient and aesthetically complimentary to interior design and architecture. Custom home lighting is intended to support the many facets of daily life and entertainment. It requires sophisticated technique and superior equipment, and it is best done by licenses professionals who can handle both electrical wiring, home lighting repairs and fixture installation from an aesthetically-minded perspective. It is not something you should attempt on your own.
How important is energy efficiency?
It is extremely important in Austin home lighting designs, not only for personal financial reasons, but because of rising regulatory controls. Because some states such as California have recently banned some use of incandescent lighting, a new movement is underway to replace incandescents nationwide in anticipation of similar legislation from Coast to Coast. A good number of people are retrofitting store-bought fluorescent bulbs to lamps and overhead lights in places like the living room, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. These lights indeed save a lot of power and last for many years as promised, but they often fall short when it comes to matching pre-existing levels of light. Striking the right balance between cost consciousness and quality of luminance is one of the many areas of specialty we provide to our clientele in Houston Texas home lighting design.
How do you design new home lighting systems for custom houses?
We use a custom home lighting software program that allows us to conduct a scientific, photometric analysis of your home. This software also allows us to experiment with varying combinations and levels of light and render a 3D, animated movie of any hypothetical system we conceptualize. You can watch this virtual tour of your own home and foresee results prior to authorizing an installation, choose between different options, and make any changes you desire prior to signing anything.
Do you install any special effects lighting or lighting controls?
Yes. ILD is famous in Texas for combining custom home lighting design with home lighting automation and controls. With the right combination of automation and manual controls, you can have instant, one-touch access to a myriad of colors, brightness levels, and special home decorative lighting effects throughout the house.
We combine technologies to create unique atmospheres and moods in various portions of the home or office lighting designs. Layered lighting effects of this nature have a powerful effect on human emotions and can be used to set the tone for family reunions, home movies, home theater, musical enjoyment, fine art collecting, displays of collectibles, and parties. They can also set the pace for daily activities that sometimes require a bit of an emotional push to get us to do. Lighting design installations can be adjusted to create and “activity based” atmosphere conducive to doing things such as studying, home projects, repairs, and cleaning.
Is this going to require a large investment in equipment costs?
We do our best to limit the actual number of light fixtures we install. Too many visible pieces of equipment will clutter the ambiance of a room, so we custom design home lighting systems around the principles of concealment and lighting angles of incidence. Also, we use only lights that American-made, factory-grade, and backed up with written warranties from our nation’s leading manufacturers. We aim to give you the best in both design and technology so that reduced power costs and minimized replacements help recover your investment over the years to come.

Boardroom lighting design by ILD shines the light on key elements essential to professional meetings and communications. Improperly designed boardroom lighting can unconsciously set a bad tone that puts meeting participants on edge and creates negative energy that works against teamwork and profitability. Designing effective lighting for a boardroom requires a systematic layered lighting approach where different sources, levels, and forms of light both fill the room with visibility and clarity for task-oriented focus. It should compliment task with aesthetic highlights to highlight unique features, decorations, and artwork. Designer boardroom lighting must also deliver a higher level of user control than standard office lighting because most boardrooms are used not only for meetings but also for presentations that require ambient lighting as backdrop to audiovisual presentations and keynote speeches.
Because the boardroom plays host to different individuals with varying degrees of eyesight and comfort levels, boardroom lighting design requires a field of clear, softer light disbursed evenly throughout the room. ILD lighting designers achieve this lighting effect - known as indirect lighting - by shining light onto the ceiling so it reflects downward in dispersed, albeit sufficiently visible amounts. This eliminates pockets of shadow that can create unconscious negative emotions and damage rapport between attendees. We can then enhance this field of light with task and accent lights that facilitate specific actions and showcase prominent decor. Our clients have reported that after our designers filled the entire boardroom with light and added personal touches of accent and differentiation that the general tone of meetings became more upbeat, focused, objective, and characterized by more effective communication between attendees.
While it is very important to establish appropriate tone and atmosphere, truly effective boardroom lighting design has to evolve beyond the merely emotional and psychological into the task-oriented and functionally aesthetic. Comfort and amenities play an important role in setting the tone for meetings and presentation, but focus and productivity must remain paramount if meetings are going to generate tangible results. An absolute must for truly customized, designer boardroom lighting systems is the ability to seamlessly shift illumination from meeting mode to presentation mode. Whenever Power Point or video comes into play, the bright light of meeting space has to dim in all areas of the room, leaving only enough ambient lighting to avoid total darkness and focus the eyes toward the screen. The lighting system must also enable meeting coordinators to "spotlight" the speaker in a field of light around podium or lectern, or when standing in front of a whiteboard. These effects require specialty fixtures installed with dimmer switches that allow meeting facilitators to control lighting levels both throughout the room and at individual points within the room. Our team of lighting designers brings a number of user friendly controls to the boardroom table to ensure that meetings flow smoothly into presentations without the embarrassment of having to fiddle with lights for minutes at time.
Organizations from a wide range of industries turn to Illuminations Lighting for boardroom design solutions that utilize light as a functional design element with a purpose that also conveys a pleasant and sophisticated aesthetic due to our proprietary methods of layering the light in precise proportions to a specific room and the activities therein. Chambers of Commerce, executive meeting areas, and hotel and resort planning committees can all benefit from the psychological and practical elements brought to the boardroom table courtesy of ILD. Call today to begin the process of lighting your facility for maximum performance, teamwork, and communication.
