Lighting & Shade Control Installation
One Touch, the Whole Room
A lighting and shade system built right ties every fixture and every window into one keypad or app, so “movie night” dims the lights, closes the shades and turns on the TV in a single tap instead of six separate switches. Low Voltage Components installs and programs Lutron and Control4 lighting control for homes from San Diego to Los Angeles, working under a California C-7 low-voltage license (#1056087). Scenes get built around how you actually use each room — a keypad by the front door, a dimmer at the nightstand — not a generic default that gets ignored after the first week.
Shades That Move With the Sun
Motorized shades do more than block glare on the TV — scheduled to track the sun, they cut afternoon heat gain before the AC has to work for it, and a privacy scene at dusk beats getting up mid-dinner to close every blind by hand. Shades tie into the same system as the lighting, so an “away” scene lowers them along with locking the doors and turning off the lights, and “good morning” can raise them gradually with the lighting instead of both firing at once. Fabric, mount type and motor choice get specified around the window itself — a floor-to-ceiling great room slider is a different install than a bank of standard bedroom windows.
Wired for It, Not Retrofitted
Lighting control and shade wiring belongs in the plans before drywall goes up — running low-voltage cable and in-wall power to every keypad and shade motor during framing costs a fraction of opening a finished wall later, and it's the difference between a system that looks built-in and one that looks bolted on. Retrofits in finished homes follow the same principle in reverse: map what the walls and attic will allow before committing to a motor or keypad location, then wire and program it to work the way you expect from day one.
