Residential Lighting & Lighting Control Better Lighting

Changes Everything

Lighting does more than illuminate your home. The right lighting can transform a room, highlight architectural details, create the right atmosphere, and make your home easier to live in every day.

Techkinect designs and installs residential lighting solutions ranging from traditional recessed and decorative lighting to whole-home lighting control, architectural LED lighting, tunable white lighting, and fully automated lighting systems.

Whether you're building a new home, remodeling an existing space, finishing a basement, or upgrading outdated lighting controls, we can help design a system that looks great, works reliably, and is easy to use.

Lighting Design & Installation

More Than Just Adding Lights

Great lighting starts with determining how each space will actually be used.

Instead of simply filling a ceiling with recessed lights, we look at the room, architecture, natural light, furniture placement, cabinetry, artwork, and how you want the space to feel.

Depending on the project, your lighting system may include:

• Recessed lighting

• Decorative fixtures

• Pendant and chandelier installation

• Under-cabinet lighting

• Cove and architectural lighting

• Stair and toe-kick lighting

• Cabinet and shelving illumination

• Dimmers and lighting controls

• Tunable white lighting

• LED tape and linear lighting

• Automated lighting scenes

• Exterior and landscape lighting

As a licensed electrical contractor and technology integrator, Techkinect can handle both the electrical infrastructure and the control system behind your lighting.

That means fewer contractors to coordinate and a lighting system designed to work together from the beginning.

Smart Lighting Control

LUX Lighting

Great lighting control starts with great lighting design.

Techkinect offers LUX lighting solutions for homeowners looking to combine high-quality architectural lighting with intelligent control. LUX fixtures can provide beautiful, consistent illumination while giving us the flexibility to incorporate advanced dimming and tunable white lighting into the overall design of your home.

When paired with Control4 and Vibrant Lighting, compatible LUX lighting can become part of customized scenes that adjust brightness and color temperature throughout the day—providing brighter, more energizing light when you need it and warmer, more comfortable lighting in the evening.

For new construction and remodeling projects, we can help coordinate fixture selection, electrical requirements, lighting control, and automation as part of one complete lighting design.

Control Your Home Without Filling the Walls With Switches

As homes become larger and lighting designs become more sophisticated, traditional banks of switches can quickly become confusing.

Smart lighting control simplifies the experience.

Instead of remembering which switch controls which fixture, a single keypad button can control an entire room—or the entire home.

Create scenes such as:

Welcome Home

• Turn on entry, kitchen, living room, and exterior lighting at once.

Good Morning

• Gradually bring up selected lights throughout the home as your day begins.

Entertain

• Set the kitchen, dining room, living spaces, and architectural lighting to the perfect levels for guests.

Movie Night

• Dim the room, activate accent lighting, and prepare your entertainment system with one command.

Goodnight

• Turn off lighting throughout the home while leaving selected pathway and exterior lights active.

Away

• Shut down designated lights throughout the home when you leave.

Lighting can also respond automatically to schedules, occupancy, sunrise and sunset, security events, and other systems throughout the home.

Control4 Vibrant Lighting

Take Architectural Lighting Beyond On and Off

Control4 Vibrant Lighting gives us another tool for creating unique lighting environments throughout the home.

Instead of limiting architectural LED lighting to a single brightness or color temperature, Vibrant Lighting can provide dynamic control over compatible tunable-white and color-capable LED lighting.

This makes it especially effective for architectural and accent lighting applications such as:

• Ceiling coves

• Under-cabinet lighting

• Toe-kick lighting

• Staircases

• Shelving

• Built-ins

• Bars

• Home theaters

• Entertainment spaces

• Accent walls

• Architectural details

• 
  

Tunable White Lighting

Not every room needs the same color temperature throughout the day.

Tunable white lighting allows compatible fixtures and LED lighting to transition between warmer and cooler white light.

Use bright, cooler lighting when working or preparing food and transition to warmer, softer lighting in the evening.

Color Lighting

In entertainment spaces, theaters, bars, game rooms, and other select areas, color-capable lighting can completely change the atmosphere of the room.

Rather than relying on separate remotes or apps for different LED strips, compatible lighting can become part of the home's Control4 system.

One Lighting Experience

The biggest advantage isn't simply having color-changing lights.

It's integration.

Vibrant Lighting can become part of the same scenes and controls used throughout the rest of your Control4 smart home.

A single command can adjust traditional fixtures, architectural LED lighting, shades, music, televisions, climate, and other connected systems.

Lutron Lighting Control

Dedicated Lighting Control for Homes of Any Size

For homeowners looking for a dedicated lighting control platform, Techkinect also offers residential lighting solutions from Lutron.

Lutron systems are known for reliable dimming, elegant controls, wireless lighting technology, and the ability to scale from a few rooms to sophisticated whole-home lighting systems.

Depending on the home and project requirements, we can help determine which Lutron platform makes the most sense.

Lutron Caséta

Caséta provides an approachable way to add smart lighting control to individual rooms, smaller homes, and targeted lighting applications.

It's a great option when you want smart dimming, schedules, scenes, and app control without designing an extensive whole-home system.

Lutron RadioRA 3

RadioRA 3 provides a more advanced lighting control platform for renovations, larger homes, and whole-home applications.

It combines sophisticated lighting control with attractive keypads and wireless technology, making it especially useful when upgrading an existing home where installing new control wiring may not be practical.

Lutron HomeWorks

For luxury residences and larger new-construction projects, HomeWorks provides Lutron's premium whole-home lighting control platform.

HomeWorks can provide centralized and distributed lighting control, architectural keypads, advanced automation, and extensive customization throughout the home.

For projects at this level, lighting control should be considered early in the design and construction process so the electrical and low-voltage infrastructure can be coordinated properly.

Architectural & Accent Lighting

Make the Lighting Part of the Architecture

Some of the most impressive lighting in a home doesn't come from a traditional fixture.

Architectural lighting can be integrated directly into cabinetry, ceilings, stairs, shelving, trim, and other elements of the home.

We can incorporate linear and LED lighting into areas such as:

• Kitchen cabinetry

• Floating shelves

• Ceiling coves

• Built-in entertainment centers

• Bars and wine rooms

• Staircases

• Toe kicks

• Home theaters

• Golf simulator rooms

• Basements

• Closets

• Display areas

When these elements are planned early, wiring, power supplies, drivers, channels, and controls can often be concealed completely.

The result is lighting that feels like part of the home instead of something that was added afterward.

Whole-Home Lighting Automation

Your Lighting Should Work With the Rest of Your Home

Lighting becomes even more powerful when it isn't treated as an isolated system.

Through home automation, lighting can interact with entertainment, motorized shades, climate control, security, and other technology throughout your home.

For example, pressing Movie could lower the shades, dim the lights, turn on subtle architectural lighting, power on the television or projector, and select the correct entertainment source.

Pressing Away could shut down lighting and entertainment throughout the home while adjusting climate settings and preparing the security system.

The technology behind these scenes can be sophisticated.

Using them shouldn't be.

Lighting for New Construction & Remodeling

Plan It Before the Walls Close

The best time to design an advanced lighting system is before construction begins.

For new homes and major renovations, Techkinect can work alongside homeowners, builders, interior designers, architects, and other trades to coordinate the electrical and technology infrastructure required for the lighting system.

Planning early allows us to consider:

• Fixture locations

• Switching and dimming

• Keypad locations

• Lighting loads

• Centralized lighting options

• LED driver and power supply locations

• Low-voltage wiring

• Architectural lighting channels

• Control system integration

• Future expansion

Even if every feature isn't installed immediately, designing the infrastructure correctly can make future upgrades significantly easier.

Outdoor & Landscape Lighting

Your lighting experience doesn't have to stop at the back door.

Techkinect also designs and installs outdoor lighting solutions for patios, decks, pools, walkways, landscaping, architectural features, and outdoor entertainment spaces.

Exterior lighting can also integrate with your home's automation system, allowing outdoor areas to respond to schedules, scenes, sunset, and other events automatically.
