The Experience

One Tap.
Every Light Responds.

Select a scene and watch your home transform — every room, every fixture, all at once. This is what Control4 lighting looks like.

SCENE ACTIVE: GOOD MORNING — CONTROL4

Circadian Tuning

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.

Morning: 2700K warm white — eases you awake naturally
Midday: 5000K cool daylight — supports alertness and focus
Evening: 2200K candlelight — signals the body to wind down
Runs automatically — no schedules to manage or apps to open
Our Lighting Platforms

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.

What We Design & Install

Smart Lighting Capabilities

From a single room upgrade to a fully centralized system. We design lighting that works with your security, shades, and audio — because we engineered them together.

01

Whole-Home Lighting Control

Every light in every room controlled from keypads, touchscreens, your phone, or voice. No more walking room to room flipping switches.

02

Automated Scenes & Schedules

Custom scenes like Morning, Entertain, Movie Night, and Good Night. Program your lights to follow your daily routine automatically.

03

Keypads & Designer Dimmers

Control4 Lux keypads with custom engraving and premium finishes. Ajax touch switches with contactless activation in 8 colors.

04

Centralized Lighting Panels

Relocate all dimming and switching to a central panel. Eliminate wall-box clutter and gain total design freedom for your interiors.

05

Outdoor & Landscape Lighting

Automated exterior lighting tied to sunset/sunrise, motion detection, and security events. Pathway, architectural, and accent lighting on intelligent schedules.

06

Security-Linked Lighting

Lights that respond to intrusion alarms, fire detection, door sensors, and motion events. Presence simulation while you're away — because your lighting and security were designed as one system.

Beyond Lighting

One System. Every Device.

Smart lighting is where most people start — but it's most powerful when it's part of a larger architecture. As a Control4 Gold Dealer and Ajax Certified partner, we design systems where your lighting, security, audio, climate, shading, and surveillance all communicate natively. When the garage door opens, the entryway lights respond. When you say goodnight, everything powers down. That's what happens when one team designs the whole system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Smart Lighting FAQ

What is the best smart lighting system for homes in the South Sound?

Control4 and Ajax Systems are two of the most reliable platforms available. Control4 excels at deep whole-home integration with designer keypads, centralized panels, and scene programming. Ajax LightSwitch provides wireless touch-panel control backed by security-grade Jeweller radio technology. We're certified to install both and often combine them in a single home for maximum capability.

Can I control my smart lights from my phone when I'm away from home?

Yes. Both Control4 and Ajax include dedicated mobile apps for remote control from anywhere. Turn lights on and off, adjust dimming, activate scenes, set schedules, and receive notifications. Control4 also supports voice control through Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri.

How much does smart lighting installation cost?

Costs vary based on scope — from a single-room keypad upgrade to a full centralized system with whole-home scenes. We offer free consultations to assess your needs, and our online estimator gives you a ballpark instantly. Every project is tailored to your home, goals, and budget.

Can smart lighting be added to my existing home, or only new construction?

Both. Control4 wireless dimmers, switches, and keypads install in existing wall boxes with no new wiring. Ajax LightSwitch is fully wireless and replaces standard switches without major electrical work. For new construction or remodels, we install centralized lighting panels for the cleanest design.

What areas do you serve for smart lighting installation?

We serve Kent, Tacoma, Gig Harbor, Federal Way, Auburn, Puyallup, Sumner, Bonney Lake, Covington, Maple Valley, University Place, Tehaleh, and the greater South Sound region of Washington State.

How does Ajax LightSwitch integrate with Control4?

Ajax and Control4 serve complementary roles. Control4 handles whole-home lighting scenes, entertainment, and climate. Ajax provides security-grade lighting automation linked to intrusion detection, motion sensors, and alarm events. The Chowmain integration driver connects Ajax intrusion control to Control4 — so security events can trigger responses across both systems.
