Clients come to us ranging from individuals renovating their property, to building contractors and architects looking for the latest in design, and functionality. From a new home to a single room, the latest in lighting controls can bring a new look and feel to properties. External lighting can extend your home into the outdoor spaces with dramatic effect.

We use the latest technology in lighting controls from the leading lights in the industry, such as Rako and Dynalite, together with energy efficient high performance LED lighting. For the ultimate in control of your lighting, using your phone or iPad to control scenes and settings, including links with security systems, Rako provides unrivalled quality and features.

Retro fitting advanced technology systems can be easy, and cost effective, as wireless controls mean less building work, and the subsequent decorating involved. The flexibility offers upgrades, and staged installs as work and budgets progress.

The Rako products are an excellent choice for many listed buildings as the wireless technology avoids chopping out walls and making good. This will allow the clients to upgrade their system to a fully controllable lighting system thus minimising unnecessary aesthetic damage

Case Study – Country House Renovation

The country house near Brackley had been purchased by an international client.

The contract was originally quoted for the main building as part of a combined tender and specification outline by the architect .
Once the project was secured we then met the client and architect together to discuss the proposed internal lighting for the pool and adjacent rooms and buildings including lighting control options and which system would be the most flexible for the property. In addition, we presented various alternative lighting products that would be more suitable to the pool environment. The new products were sourced with our specialist suppliers and installed to provide the best solution to the clients requirements. These include fibre optic side emitting tape submerged below the pool water line to give the desired effect and long service .

The LED emits a radiant glow and a rich quality of light throughout the room which can change colour and produce vibrant and mood enhancing effects, as well as being combined with submersible white side emitting fibre optic tape, fitted in the side wall of the pool itself. Apart from looking very cool, the lighting brings an additional dimension to the environment.
The requirement was for a robust and reliable LED product for the roof with a homogenised and smooth output that could deal with humidity. The drivers and associated power supplies had to be located in two control positions approximately 10 metres from the pool and fed by a single DMX signal.

External lighting

As the project grew we carried out a night time external lighting trial with a selection of led products to give the client a vison of what can be done to bring the building and surrounding grounds to life at night and highlight some of the hidden features of the building and in the surrounding grounds.

All external lighting is now  controlled via the Rako app and local scene controllers even in the most remote locations to give the client control in any location

The external lighting has been set up with simple timed events that automatically trigger at dusk and go of at a set time and these can be controlled via the app with one touch of a button.
