Essential Layers of Light

You risk strained eyesight, obtrusive shadows and rigid spaces with a one-tone lighting design. Leverage tunable LED lighting that offers ambient, task and accent lighting tones for a visually balanced and flexible space in your home in Irvine or nearby California areas.

Ambient Light

Illuminate the entire room with soft lighting from natural sunlight, recessed ceiling lights or pendants.

Task Lighting

Special pendant, desk or under-cabinet lights provide bright, focused illumination for specific activities.

Accent Lighting

Highlight artwork, photos and architectural details with lighting three times brighter than ambient fixtures.

The living room at night: deep shadows fill the corners, the sofa and rug are dimly lit, and the roller shades are down, conveying a quiet, restful “bedtime” mood.

A living room scene bathed in soft evening light: the sofa and ottoman are illuminated with a warm glow, the roller shades appear gently backlit, and the floor lamps cast cozy pools of light for a relaxed, entertaining atmosphere.

Daytime

Keep to your workday schedule with a “Daytime” lighting scene that automatically activates at 9 am every day. As you head into your home office, bright white-blue ambient lights and desk lights greet you for optimal focus and concentration.
Bedtime

As you head to bed at the end of the day, prepare for restorative sleep with a “Bedtime” lighting scene you can activate from a bedside remote or tablet. Not only do lights dim gradually, but they switch to a warm, orange hue that induces relaxation.
Entertaining

Entertain in style with a “Party” lighting scene that activates lights in the kitchen and living room to a white-blue hue that keeps guests energized throughout the night while they enjoy music and appetizers.
Movie Night

Transform your home theater into the perfect viewing environment with a “Movie Night” lighting scene on your handheld remote or touchpad that dims recessed lights and decorative sconces while turning on floor track lighting for safe movement during the movie.

Architectural Fixtures

For a successful layered lighting design to work, you’ll want to incorporate a wide range of lighting fixtures throughout your space rather than relying solely on canned ceiling lighting. Through a mixture of high-end pendants, downlights, and track lights, our designers ensure even, layered lighting that adds depth and beauty to your home while facilitating all your everyday tasks. Explore how each model has a role in enhancing your overall space.

Linear Pendants

Design-Forward Lighting

Pendant lights available in a wide range of colors and finishes add a spark to your décor while supporting ambient or task lighting needs. Transform your interior design through elegant fixtures hanging from the ceiling or within a track light system.

Downlights

Illumination without Clutter

Downlights are primarily used for ambient lighting, though they’re also used for task or accent lighting in some applications. Recessed or flush mounted in the ceiling, they’re available in round or square trims to match your décor.

Retrofit Downlights

Remodel without Limitations

Replace outdated lighting fixtures seamlessly with retrofit downlights featuring low-profile designs that fit into most standard recessed housing. Select from our collection of high-end tunable LED fixtures available in round or square trims.

Track lighting

Bright, Versatile Spotlights

Track lighting offers a flexible solution for your home’s accent and task lighting needs. Install adjustable spotlights on a track or rail system to showcase artwork or illuminate cabinets. Expand your stylistic choices with straight, round or curved track models.
