Smart Lighting. Designed Together With Every System.
Control4 · Ajax LightSwitch · Lutron. Keypads, dimmers, circadian tuning, and automated scenes — integrated with your security, shades, audio, and automation from the start. Because lighting designed alongside everything else responds to everything else.
Lighting That Responds to Everything Else
A smart bulb responds to an app. Professionally designed lighting responds to your security arming, your shades closing, the sun setting, and the way your household actually lives — because it was engineered alongside all of it.
Two Certified Platforms
Control4 for whole-home scenes and circadian tuning; Ajax LightSwitch for security-grade, security-linked switching. Both certified, both in-house.
- Control4 Lux keypads — 10+ finishes, custom engraving
- Ajax LightSwitch — contactless, Jeweller radio, from $99
- Lutron Caséta and RA3 supported
- Centralized panels for wall-box-free interiors
Circadian by Default
Color temperature follows the sun automatically — 2700K mornings, 5000K midday, 2200K evenings. Better sleep, no schedules to manage.
- Automatic color-temperature shifts all day
- Supports natural sleep rhythms
- Per-room tuning — office cool, bedroom warm
- Runs itself — no apps to open
Security-Linked by Design
Lights respond to alarms, motion, door sensors, and arming events — and simulate presence while you’re away.
- Intrusion alarm floods the exterior with light
- "Good Night" locks doors and arms security too
- Presence simulation deters break-ins
- Dual-path cellular backup keeps control in outages
One Tap. Every Light Responds.
Select a scene and your home transforms — every room, every fixture, all at once.
🌅 Good Morning
Warm light ramps up gradually, shades open, circadian tuning to 3500K.
🍷 Entertain
Accent lighting warm amber, dining at 60%, kitchen bright, outdoor on.
🍿 Movie Night
Theater dims to 5%, ambient purple, shades close, screen light off.
💼 Work From Home
Office to full cool-white 5000K, rest of the home in eco mode.
🌙 Good Night
All off, hall nightlights at 5%, doors locked, alarm armed.
Light That Follows the Sun. Automatically.
Control4 automatically shifts your lighting color temperature throughout the day — cool energizing white in the morning, neutral daylight by afternoon, warm relaxing amber by evening. Your body responds to light the way it evolved to, without you ever touching a switch. It runs automatically — no schedules to manage, no apps to open.
Warm white eases you awake naturally.
Cool daylight supports alertness and focus.
Candlelight tones signal the body to wind down.
Lux: The Keypad That Belongs on the Wall.
Control4's Lux collection is lighting hardware designed like interior finish — premium metal faceplates in 10+ designer colors, custom backlit engraving, and a feel that matches the homes it goes in. One keypad replaces a bank of switches: every button a scene, every scene programmed to your household.
Designer Finishes
10+ premium metal faceplate colors — brushed, matte, and polished options that coordinate with door hardware and fixtures instead of fighting them.
Custom Engraving
Backlit, laser-engraved button labels — "Entertain," "Movie," "Goodnight" — readable in the dark, obvious to guests, no guessing what a button does.
One Keypad, Whole Room
Replace three- and four-gang switch banks with a single elegant keypad. The wall gets cleaner; the control gets smarter.
Two Platforms. One Integrated System.
Control4 for whole-home scene programming and Ajax for security-linked automation. We install and program both — and they work together because we designed them that way.
The Whole-Home Standard
Total command over every light through elegant keypads, touchscreens, mobile apps, and voice — integrated with your audio, security, shades, and climate because it's all one system.

- Adaptive Phase Dimmers — LED, incandescent, halogen, MLV, and ELV loads up to 600W
- Centralized Lighting Panels — all load control relocated from wall boxes to one panel
- One-touch scenes — "Good Night" turns off every light, locks doors, arms security
- Circadian tuning built in — color temperature follows the sun
Security-Grade Switching

Circadian lighting automatically shifts your lights’ color temperature to follow the sun — cool energizing white in the morning (up to 5000K), warm amber in the evening (down to 2200K). Your body regulates sleep hormones based on light color, so lighting that follows natural rhythms genuinely supports better sleep and daytime alertness. With Control4 it runs automatically with no schedules to manage, and it’s included in the scene programming of every whole-home lighting system we install.
In most homes, yes. Control4 adaptive phase dimmers replace your existing switches using existing wiring and work with LED, incandescent, halogen, MLV, and ELV loads up to 600W. Ajax LightSwitch installs wirelessly over the Jeweller protocol, making it ideal for retrofits where running new wire isn’t practical. A free consultation tells us which approach fits your home.
