Our Proven Method for Thoughtful, Intelligent Lighting Design.

PHILOSOPHY OF LIGHT

At AV Luxury Light, lighting design is equal parts science and artistry. We understand that light influences how we feel, focus, and connect. By studying the biology, geometry, and psychology of light, we craft experiences that enhance architecture and wellbeing — not just visibility.

DISCOVERY — UNDERSTANDING YOUR VISION

Every home is different, and so is every client. Our process begins by learning about you — your routines, architecture, and lifestyle goals.

During Discovery we:

. Review architectural plans and material palettes

. Assess daylight interaction and site conditions

. Define emotional and visual objectives

. Establish project scope, budget, and design intent

This stage sets the foundation for a lighting design tailored to how you truly live.

DESIGN — CREATIVE EXPLORATION

This is where precision matters most. We create detailed, dimensioned CAD drawings showing the exact location, mounting height, and aiming of every single fixture. This layout eliminates ceiling clutter and ensures lighting coverage is uniform and intentional.

Once we understand your needs, we move into conceptual design. Using advanced visualization tools, we explore how light interacts with architecture, texture, and space.

You’ll see lighting ideas represented through:

. Concept sketches and rendered lighting scenarios

. Layered lighting strategies (ambient, accent, decorative, and natural)'

. Fixture integration options

. Control and automation concepts

This phase is collaborative — blending your aesthetic vision with our technical expertise.

DEVELOPMENT — TECHNICAL DETAILING

When the concept is approved, we translate it into a build-ready design package.

Our deliverables include:

. Detailed lighting plans and fixture schedules

. Control diagrams for seamless integration

. Electrical coordination notes

. Product specifications for color temperature, beam spread, and performance

. Installation details ensuring precision and consistency

We also align the design with your project budget, ensuring expectations match investment.

DELIVERY — EXECUTION AND COMMISSIONING

Our team remains involved through installation and final adjustments. We collaborate with builders, electricians, and automation integrators to ensure the design is executed flawlessly.

Our commissioning process includes:

. Fixture aiming and adjustment

. Scene programming and calibration

. Daylight integration and automation setup

. On-site review to fine-tune ambiance and balance

The result: lighting that performs exactly as envisioned — immersive, comfortable, and enduring.

SUSTAINABILITY & LONGEVITY

Every design considers durability and environmental responsibility. We specify fixtures made from premium, recyclable materials and encourage modular systems that can be upgraded, not replaced. Our designs are engineered for the long term — both beautiful and sustainable.

AUTOMATION & CONTROL

Smart living is about harmony.

We integrate lighting, shading, and environmental systems using platforms such as Lutron, Savant, Control4, and Crestron to create intuitive, responsive spaces.

Features include:

. Circadian rhythm lighting that changes with the time of day

. Automated shades that adapt to daylight levels

. Custom “scenes” for entertaining, relaxation, or focus

. App and voice control for seamless daily use

Automation turns lighting into a living system — one that supports your wellbeing and simplifies life.

WHY OUR PROCESS WORKS

Many homes meet electrical standards but fall short of emotional ones. We bridge the gap. Our method combines technical accuracy, artistic restraint, and human-centered thinking — resulting in lighting that transforms architecture and the way you experience it.
