No one can dispute that lighting plays a significant role in the design of luxury homes. Illumination transforms a room into an experience that changes according to a person’s mood or the time of day. It elevates architectural features, often from unseen sources, and enhances the form and function of every space. 

Luxury lighting design is no longer centered on statement pieces and fixtures that look like works of art. Instead, the light itself, rather than its source, has become the artistic expression: changeable, pure, and stunningly beautiful.

Influencing Perception & Atmosphere

Lighting shapes a home’s atmosphere, from warm and inviting to expansive and dynamic. For many years, the problem lighting designers and homeowners faced was the changing nature of life. Some activities and events required dynamic, brilliant lighting, while a soft, intimate environment enhanced others. 

At A.B.E. Networks, we resolved this problem by partnering with Lutron, a global leader in lighting control and the parent company of Ketra, the world’s most advanced LED lighting system. This collaboration enables us to create exceptional lighting that transforms instantly depending on the mood, activity, time of day, and natural light levels.

Elegant controls, automated window treatments, and tunable lighting allow our lighting designers to create an extraordinary experience that adapts to your preferences, elevates special occasions, and makes life a little easier. 

High-Performance Lighting

Ketra’s high-performance lighting offers 90+ CRI, a high Color Rendering Index that provides vibrant lighting to bring a home’s details to life, from architectural elements to artwork and furnishings. It highlights intricate features while adding depth and dramatic contrast. 

Tunable lighting offers a full spectrum of white, pastel, and vibrant hues, creating dramatic environments for different occasions. These fixtures also dim to 0.1%, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing at day’s end. 

A variety of fixtures, from small-aperture recessed lights to hidden light bars and track lighting, create layered lighting that adds visual interest and enhances the overall design. Ambient lighting is the foundation, providing general illumination that elevates a room, often through lighting tucked into architectural coves and recessed ceilings. 

Automated Window Treatments

Natural light is also an essential element of ambient lighting, filling a home with the beauty and health benefits of filtered sunlight. The challenge lies in managing this illumination to avoid glare and intense UV rays. 

Automated window treatments do it for you, adjusting based on the sun’s direction and a room’s temperature. These window coverings come in numerous styles that support a home’s design, from custom draperies to Venetian blinds and roller and Roman shades. Custom tension shades extend the effortless management of natural light to skylights and unique architectural windows.   

Elegant Controls

Gone are the light switches that detract from a home’s design. In their place are elegant, backlit keypads and high-resolution touchscreens that elevate a home’s interior. One touch transforms your home’s lighting, creating the ideal ambiance for the activities, moods, and events that make up your life. 

From layered illumination to customized controls and advanced LED lighting systems, a professional lighting design redefines how we once illuminated our homes. At A.B.E. Networks, we specialize in customized lighting that aligns the latest design trends with the elevated functionality of smart home living. Every detail is thoughtfully crafted to enhance your home’s aesthetics and reflect the way you live.
