Motorized shades at golden hour
Designed Around Your Day

Light That Follows the Rhythm of Your Home.

From sunrise to goodnight, every scene is composed — gradual wake light, layered evening warmth, blackout for the theater, security-aware away mode. Lighting and shades operate as one architectural system, not a collection of apps.

We design, install, and program — and we're the team you call when something needs adjusting six months later.

The Problem

What Smart Lighting Actually Solves

01

Everything on a Different App

Lights on one app. Shades on another. Nothing talks to each other and none of it works the way you imagined when you bought it.

Our Solution

Lutron integrates lighting, shades, and control into one system. One app. One keypad. One scene.

02

You Wake Up to the Wrong Light

Bedroom lights blasting on at full brightness. Blackout shades still closed at noon. No automation that actually matches how your day runs.

Our Solution

Scheduled scenes wake you gradually, open shades at the right time, and set the right tone for every part of your day.

03

DIY Smart Bulbs That Keep Disconnecting

Smart bulbs that drop off the network. Switches that need a firmware update. Automations that stopped working after the last app update. Consumer smart home products are designed to sell in a box — not to run reliably for years.

Our Solution

Professional-grade Lutron platform. Doesn't run through the cloud for basic functions. Works when the internet is down. Works five years from now.

04

No Ambiance — Just On or Off

Your home has one lighting mode — on. No dimming, no scene control, nothing that makes a room feel intentional.

Our Solution

Lutron dimming and scene control transforms every room. Movie mode, dinner mode, morning mode — one tap.

We've Built This Before.

Lutron lighting and motorized shade installations across homes in the Bronx, Westchester, Northern New Jersey, and Long Island — single rooms to whole-home builds.

How We Work

Every Home Has Its Own Light.

Step 01

We Start With How You Live in Each Room.

Before anything gets designed or ordered, we walk your home and understand how each space gets used throughout the day. The lighting and shade design gets built around your daily patterns — not a product spec sheet.

Step 02

We Design Scenes Around Your Routine.

Morning, daytime, evening, entertaining, movie, away, goodnight — scenes designed specifically for how you live. Everything scheduled and automated so the right light and the right shade position happen without you thinking about it.

Lighting scenes can follow the natural rhythm of the day with softer evening warmth, gradual morning transitions, and ambiance that feels natural throughout your home.

Step 03

We Install It Clean and Program It Before We Leave.

Clean switch installation. Motorized shade mounting. Everything programmed and tested. Lutron app set up on your devices. And when something needs adjustment after the install — you call us directly.

What We Install

Designed for Your Home. Installed Clean.

Lutron RA3 Smart Lighting

Professional-grade smart lighting with smooth dimming, scene control, and scheduling. Works without internet for basic functions. No cloud dependency for your lights to respond. Reliable years from now — not just on install day. Voice control via Alexa, Google, and Siri. Integrates with motorized shades and URC Total Control for whole-home scenes.

Lutron Pico Remotes

Wireless battery-powered remotes that mount anywhere without wiring — nightstands, countertops, beside the couch. Control lights and shades from any position in the room without walking to a wall switch.

BTX Motorized Shades

Dual shade cassettes with light filtering and blackout in one unit — one bracket, two shades, seamless operation. Integrates directly with Lutron RA3 so shades respond to the same scenes as your lighting. Close the sheers at sunset. Drop the blackout for movie time. One scene handles both.

Available with recessed pocket options and clean architectural finishes for projects where hidden hardware and minimalist aesthetics matter.

Lutron Motorized Shades

Lutron's own motorized shade system for clients who want the full Lutron ecosystem for both lighting and shades. Seamless integration, single app, and consistent programming across the entire system.

Scene Programming

Custom scenes built around your routine before we leave. Morning, Evening, Movie, Away, Goodnight — and anything specific to how you live. Adjusted and updated whenever your routine changes.

Away scenes can automatically adjust lighting and shades throughout the day to make the home appear occupied while you travel.

Voice & App Control

Full integration with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. Control lighting and shades by voice, from the Lutron app, from a wall keypad, or through automated schedules — whatever is most natural for how you live.

Whole-Home Integration

Lutron lighting and motorized shades integrated into URC Total Control for whole-home scene control. One button sets your lights, shades, AV system, and security simultaneously. Good Morning. Movie Night. Good Night. Everything responds together.

FAQ

Common Questions

How does the process work for a lighting and shade project?+

It starts with a consultation — we walk your home, understand how each space gets used, and design around that. Flat-rate quote before anything gets ordered. No surprises.

Why Lutron instead of smart bulbs or a cheaper system?+

Lutron processes commands locally — it doesn't depend on the cloud for basic functions. Your lights work when the internet is down. Automations don't break when an app updates. Dimming is smooth without flicker or buzz. It's designed for long-term reliability — not to sell in a box.

Can shades and lighting work together on one scene?+

Yes. BTX and Lutron motorized shades integrate with Lutron RA3 lighting so one scene command sets both. Movie Night dims the lights and drops the blackout shades simultaneously. Morning opens the shades and gradually brings up the lights. One tap.

Can you work in apartments and co-ops?+

Yes. Lutron RA3 can be installed in apartments, co-ops, and condos. In rental situations we can design wireless configurations that don't require in-wall wiring changes.

Do the systems require ongoing subscription fees?+

No. Lutron RA3 has no required subscription. Basic functions run locally without internet. Optional cloud features are available but not required.

Do you serve homes in New Jersey, Long Island, and Westchester?+

Yes. We install Lutron lighting and motorized shades throughout the Greater NYC Metro — the Bronx, Westchester, Northern New Jersey, Long Island, Rockland County, and surrounding areas.
