Never Stress Over Uneven, Rigid Lighting with a Professional Lighting Designer

Do you have the right lighting approach in your Franklin, TN home? A good rule of thumb: a lighting design is successful if you don’t notice it at all. Lighting should guide you seamlessly through the day while boosting your mood, aiding your activities and even improving your space’s interior décor.

During the day, lighting often only comes up whenever it’s an issue or hindrance. There’s a glare on your screen as you sit down to watch TV. You're stuck with the same lighting, whether you want to watch a movie or read a book—with your current setup not ideal for either. Sometimes, the issue comes with your monthly energy bill or what you paid for high-end fixtures.

As your local lighting designer, we are trained to eliminate these issues for a more comfortable, luxurious lifestyle. From glare to cost, below, we outline some of the most common issues we encounter.

That's why as Crestron installers, we're excited to bring the power of ekey fingerprint readers to our projects in Nashville, TN. With the simple swipe of a finger, you can unveil all your smart home features.

Crestron’s Global Residential Marketing Manager, Michael Short, explained why the partnership with ekey fingerprint scanners was so vital: “We focused on one of the aspects that makes us unique as human beings—fingerprints. Now, in essence, your finger is the key to your Crestron smart home.”
