Custom Lighting

Today, there is no longer any need to settle for the “standard electrical package,” with no thought given to the way you actually live. But, before you begin, it helps to have a basic idea of what a custom lighting plan can accomplish. The effectiveness of your home’s interior light also affects mood and lifestyle.

Installing and wiring lights always has been a routine part of electrical contracting work. But lighting projects today—especially on high-end residential projects—have changed radically over the past several years, providing plenty of opportunities for contractors to install new state-of-the-art lighting systems. 

Lighting control systems that provide many layers of control including occupancy sensing, daylight harvesting and manual dimming have a large impact on the project during both bidding and construction.

Ultimately, a contractor’s understanding of a system’s design, the function of its components and operation of its controls can be an important element in a project’s success. 

Projects reach their highest potential when the contractor takes the time to build a rapport with installers of other systems, so that they can interface and operate appropriately. Although the contractor’s expertise is valuable, being willing to work toward a common goal with the other members of the design and construction team towards the clients end result, is most important.
