Essential Layers of Light

Poor lighting flattens interiors and creates harsh, uninviting spaces. Launch Systems designs custom lighting systems in Orange County homes using layered light—from ambient lighting to task lighting and accent lighting—to add depth, mood, and visual comfort throughout your day.

Ambient Light

Fill your space with soft, even illumination using recessed lighting, pendant lights, and natural light, ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or simply moving through the room with ease.

Task Lighting

It adds focused brightness to kitchens, offices, and vanities, using under-cabinet LEDs, desk lamps, or pendant fixtures for greater comfort and clarity while working or prepping.

Accent Lighting

It creates visual drama and enhances architectural elements by spotlighting artwork, textured walls, or shelving with directional light that adds contrast and sophistication.

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.

A dimly lit living room at night, with motorized shades fully lowered over a large window; the room’s furnishings—a sectional sofa, ottoman, floor lamp, and accent chair—are barely visible in the low light, creating a cozy cinema-like atmosphere.

Daytime

A “Daytime” scene automatically activates at 9 a.m., turning on cool white smart lighting systems to support focus and alertness as you move into your home office. Bright ambient light and desk-level task lighting prepare your space for productivity and energy.
Bedtime

A “Movie Night” scene transforms your space with one touch, dimming recessed lighting and turning on subtle pathway or toe-kick lighting. Designed for your home theater, it enhances immersion while allowing safe movement during the film.
Entertaining

Hosting guests? A “Party” scene sets just the right tone by raising lighting levels in the kitchen and living room to a crisp white-blue hue. Paired with music, this scene keeps energy up while encouraging comfortable movement and conversation.
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

A successful layered lighting design relies on more than recessed cans alone. In our Orange County projects, from Tustin to Costa Mesa, we blend lighting pendants, downlights, and track lights to shape light intentionally. Our team selects professional lighting fixtures that balance aesthetics and function, enhancing daily living with clean, even illumination. Every fixture plays a role in your design, especially in homes that use Lutron lighting and shading for full-room control.

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.

Interfaces

High‑end Lutron systems feature personalized user interfaces on in‑wall touchpads and mobile apps. Navigate graphic menus that show the status of every light in your Orange County home. Adjust intensity, color, and color temperature for individual fixtures or grouped zones, then save your favorite settings for instant recall. This intuitive approach to smart lighting in Tustin or Mission Viejo ensures you—and your guests—always experience your home in its best light.

Processor

The processor is the heart of your lighting automation, coordinating commands between control devices and fixtures. A premium processor delivers clear, uninterrupted communication with zero lag. During our design phase, Launch Systems’ lighting designers assess your home’s network bandwidth and your performance needs, then select the ideal model to keep every scene responsive and reliable.

Dimming Panels

Professional shading and dimming hinge on centralized dimmer panels, discreetly installed in equipment closets. These panels streamline wiring, reduce wall clutter, and allow for sophisticated programming—so you can control lights, fans, and motors from a single location. Enjoy a clutter‑free aesthetic throughout your Orange County home without sacrificing power or flexibility.

Explore the Benefits of Motorized Shades

Save Energy

Program your shades to block intense afternoon sun during the warm summer months in Newport Beach or Costa Mesa, while allowing natural solar heat during cooler winter mornings in Tustin or Laguna Beach, all without lifting a finger.

Enhance Security

Timers and automation add a subtle but effective layer of security. In your absence, shades can raise and lower at scheduled times, making your Irvine or Orange County home appear occupied, even when you’re miles away.

Match Aesthetics

With hundreds of fabrics and materials to choose from, there's no need to sacrifice the interior and exterior decor you've perfected.

Enjoy Privacy

Protect your family’s privacy during peak hours by programming your Lutron shades to adjust automatically. In neighborhoods with foot traffic or hillside views, a single button press brings comfort and discretion, day or night.

Protect Your Furniture

Bright SoCal sunlight can cause irreversible fading to your furnishings, flooring, and artwork. Keep your interiors looking their best by scheduling shades to lower during peak UV hours, especially in spaces with large, west-facing windows.
