The lighting is the part everyone feels and nobody plans
Great lighting design disappears — you notice a room feels right without knowing why. Bad lighting design is a wall of switches nobody understands and a shade panel gathering dust. The difference is not the brand of dimmer. It is whether someone designed the control scheme, the scenes, and the shades as one system before anything got installed.
We design Lutron lighting and motorized shade systems for homes and offices across NY and NJ. We are straight about the model: we do the design, the scenes, and the commissioning, and where a system needs factory certification a certified Lutron partner provides it. You get design discipline and certification under one coordinated plan, instead of a lighting vendor and an AV vendor blaming each other when a keypad does the wrong thing.
What we design
Lighting control. Caséta Pro for smaller projects, RadioRA 3 for whole-home retrofits and mid-size builds, and HomeWorks QSX for the most demanding integrations — with keypad layouts, engraving, and scenes coordinated with your architect or interior designer. Tunable-white and circadian scenes where the project calls for it.
Motorized shades and blinds. Lutron Sivoia QS — roller, roman, and drapery — with the right fabric and drive for each opening, designed to move with the lighting scenes rather than as a separate afterthought. Morning, evening, and movie mode all behave in one tap.
The documentation. Load schedules, one-line diagrams, keypad schedules, and as-built drawings — the paperwork that lets the certified partner program it right and lets the next person who touches it understand what is there.
Design and award — how it works
- Design. We work from the architecture, the furniture plan, and how you actually live in or use the space. Out comes a control scheme, scene list, keypad plan, shade schedule, and drawings.
- Award. We turn the design into a clean scope, and help you award the install to a qualified team — with us and the certified Lutron partner making sure what gets built matches what was designed.
- Commission. Scenes tuned on site, keypads labeled, and a walkthrough so you or your facilities team can actually run it. Then it is documented and handed over.
Why us instead of a standalone lighting shop
A lighting-only vendor designs the lights and leaves. The reason the “smart” part of most homes and offices fails is that nobody owned the seams — the lighting, the shades, the AV, the network, and the control were five vendors on five schedules.
We design the lighting and shades alongside the AV, the network, and the cabling — one team, one plan, one accountable phone number when something needs a tweak. When we run a whole space as a design-build, the lighting design lands with everything else instead of being retrofitted after the drywall is up.
Want the lighting designed right?

Lutron Lighting & Motorized Shade Design — questions we get
Are you a certified Lutron dealer?
Not in-house — and we are straight about that. We design Lutron lighting and shade systems every week, from Caséta Pro up to HomeWorks QSX, and we handle the design, scenes, and commissioning. Where a system needs factory certification — the dealer-only programming access and warranty registration Lutron reserves for its top-tier lines like HomeWorks — we bring in a certified Lutron partner who holds it. You get our design and project discipline plus their certification, under one coordinated plan, so you are never stuck between a lighting vendor and an AV vendor pointing at each other.
What does "design and award" mean?
We design the lighting and shade system — the control scheme, keypad locations, scenes, load schedule, and drawings — then help you award the install: a clean scope a qualified installer can bid and build to, with us and the certified partner making sure what gets installed matches what was designed. You are not handing a vague idea to whoever is cheapest and hoping.
Do you do shades and blinds, or only lighting?
Both, designed together. Motorized shades that are not coordinated with the lighting scenes are why so many "smart" homes have a panel nobody uses. We design the shades — Lutron Sivoia QS and the right fabric and drive for the opening — so morning, evening, and movie scenes all behave in one tap, lighting and shades moving together.
Is this for homes or commercial spaces?
Both. High-end residences are the most common — whole-home Lutron with architect-coordinated keypads and invisible shades. But conference rooms, executive offices, lobbies, and hospitality spaces use the same Lutron platforms, and we design those too, tied into the building AV and network we already run.
How does this fit with the rest of my AV and network?
That is the whole point of using us instead of a standalone lighting shop. Lutron rides on its own reliable backbone, but the integrated experience — one keypad that dims the lights, drops the shades, and starts the movie — needs the AV, network, and control designed together. We do all of it, so it lands once and works.
