The Director of Business Development for Integration at WAC Lighting and AiSPiRE, Patrick Laidlaw, summed up the common issue with home lighting, “We don’t do the same thing in every room of the house, so why would we put the same light in every room in the house?”

And so, some 40 years ago, WAC Lighting set out to create a lighting system that would transform the marketplace and put them at the top of innovation and superior-grade lighting. Today, WAC provides award-winning smart lighting systems, as well as landscape and architectural lighting. In 2020, they launched AiSPiRE, a brand devoted to smart homes. 

Here, we’ll explore some of their tremendous offerings and why our designers, engineers, and integrators at A.B.E. Networks recommend this remarkable lighting system to our clients.

Luxury Homes and Architectural Accents

Architectural lighting showcases a home’s best features, from unique design elements to architectural accents. These lighting solutions are designed to strategically bring beautiful illumination into luxury homes, while defining aesthetics and elevating design. 

Many of today’s homeowners, however, are looking for a less-is-more approach, sophisticated lighting that integrates seamlessly into the architecture while also enhancing it.

VENTRIX by WAC is a revolutionary modular LED lighting system that demonstrates a dynamic, comprehensive, and customizable journey into architectural lighting solutions. A few of the many lighting elements include high-performance downlights with bespoke trim options and precise optics, enabling exact placement. 

Wall washes beautifully illuminate architectural highlights or treasured artwork with uniform floor-to-ceiling illumination. Limitless pendants are designed with a specific style in mind, from sleek and contemporary to playful and classy.

Low-profile LED Tape lights are celebrated for their near invisibility and flexibility. These lights hide in coves, under shelves, behind mirrors, under steps, and as toe-kick illumination. WAC’s high-performance tape lighting comes in a variety of LED options, ensuring a solution that blends in rather than detracts from a home’s ambiance. 

LED Lighting Options for Ultimate Customization

From a soft, immersive ambiance to stunningly vibrant illumination, AiSPiRE and WAC Lighting offer changeable LED lighting designed for unique applications. 

• Tunable White: This lighting mirrors daylight’s transition, shifting from the cool, bright light of a midday sun to a soft, warm light as evening approaches. 
• Dim-to-Warm: Unlike traditional lights that maintain the same hue as they dim, these LED lights shift to a warmer tone, creating a relaxing ambiance at day’s end. 
• Brilliant Color: All the colors in the visible light spectrum enable designers and homeowners to create dramatic, changeable aesthetics, tailored for specific occasions. 

Integrating with the Smart Home Ecosystem

While changing colors and intensities brings out the inner muse, managing lights, audiovisual systems, security, motorized shades, and climate with one tap on a keypad is nothing if not extraordinary. Natural and electric light work together to create an immersive, sensory experience. 

At A.B.E. Networks, we believe that experiences are the cornerstone of luxury living. As the premier source of lighting design and integration in the Washington, D.C., Metro area, we ensure exceptional everyday experiences that elevate your home and life.
