Smart Lighting Design
& Control
Paint with light. Don't just switch it on.
Lighting makes or breaks a luxury home. You can spend £50k on a kitchen, but if you light it with a grid of cold downlights, it will feel like a dentist's waiting room.
Serving London, Hertfordshire, and Essex, we design intelligent systems that control both artificial and natural light. No more fiddling with switches or blind cords — just one button to set the perfect mood.
One touch. Perfect atmosphere.
Lighting is the most powerful interior design tool you have. It changes how a room feels, how you look, and how you relax.
With a Prestige Home Automation system, you don't just "turn on the lights." You set a scene.
Simplicity: Replace banks of confusing switches with a single, elegant keypad that complements your decor.
Precision: We program every light to the perfect level. Your "Dinner" scene might dim the chandelier to 60% and brighten the artwork to 80%, creating a balanced, professional look every time.
Elegance: Your home always looks its best. Whether you are cleaning, entertaining, or reading, the lighting is perfectly tuned to the moment.
The "Atmosphere" Approach
Smart lighting isn't just for showing off; it's for living.
"My wife hates 'The Big Light' (the main ceiling). She loves soft light and lamps. But in a standard house, getting that 'cosy' feeling means walking around the room turning on five different lamps manually.
With our systems, she presses one button called 'Relax', and the ceiling grid fades out, the architectural LEDs glow warm, and the table lamps turn on to 40%. It changes the entire mood of the house in one second."
— Tom Denyer, Project Director
World-Class Dimming & Control
We only install the best. Cheap smart bulbs flicker and struggle to dim low. We use professional architectural dimming systems that offer smoothness, reliability, and total customisation.
Intelligent Keypads
Why settle for a switch that only turns on a light? Our keypads are fully programmable. You can have a button engraved 'Radio 2' to start your morning playlist, or 'Gate' to let a delivery driver in. We design the buttons around your personal habits, giving you control of your entire home from one elegant touch.
Lutron Lighting
The Rolls Royce of lighting. Lutron invented the dimmer, and they still do it best. Their systems (like HomeWorks QSX) offer the smoothest dimming curve in the world, ensuring your LEDs never flicker, even at 1% brightness. It is bulletproof reliability.
Centralised Lighting
We move the clutter to the cupboard. By centralising your lighting dimmers in a dedicated Control4 or Crestron panel, we remove the banks of plastic switches from your walls. Your lights talk directly to your security and blinds, creating a home that mimics your daily patterns automatically.
Mastering natural light
A true lighting design controls the sun as well as the bulbs. We install whisper-quiet automated blinds that protect your privacy and furniture without ugly plastic chains or cords.
Lutron Sivoia QS
For the client who demands silence. Lutron blinds move in perfect unison. If you have five windows in a row, the hemlines will align within 1mm of each other as they move. The motors are near-silent, making them perfect for bedrooms where you want to wake up to natural light, not the whir of a motor
QMotion
Automated blinds are great until a guest (or a child) walks up and pulls them by hand. With most brands, that breaks the motor. With QMotion, it’s a feature. You can tug the hembar to move them manually, and the motor simply takes over and tracks the position. It’s the only 'kid-proof' luxury blind on the market.
Your home, your scenes.
Most homes are wired for the electrician's convenience, not yours. At Prestige Home Automation, we program your system around your actual lifestyle using "Scenes" - intelligent presets that adjust lighting and shading simultaneously.
The "Prepare" Scene: Perfect for cooking. High-intensity task lighting ramps to 100% while blinds automatically raise to flood the room with natural daylight. It provides bright, crisp visibility exactly where you need it, removing all shadows.
The "Entertain" Scene: Transition from workspace to dinner party in one second. Harsh task lights fade (hiding the mess), sheer blinds lower for privacy, and the chandelier dims to a warm 40%. The entire mood of the room softens instantly.
The "Goodnight" Scene: Never worry about open windows. One button shuts down the house, drops every blackout blind, and turns off the TV. A soft, dimmed pathway guides you to bed—bright enough to see, but dark enough to keep you sleepy.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. We use Lutron RA2 Select or Control4 Wireless Lighting. We simply swap your existing light switches for smart keypads—no new wiring required.
-
Generally, no. Our systems work with high-quality standard LED bulbs and fittings. We control the circuit, not the bulb, which is much more reliable than Wi-Fi bulbs.
-
Yes. We rarely run lights at 100%. Running an LED at 90% brightness is barely noticeable to the human eye but saves energy and doubles the lifespan of the bulb.
-
Not at all. We install battery-powered systems from Lutron and QMotion. The batteries are hidden inside the roller tube (invisible), last 3-5 years, and are whisper-quiet. You get the full luxury of automation without chasing cables into your finished walls.
