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.

The Ideal Outdoor Space

Motorized patio shades installed by Prodigy AV give homeowners a versatile solution for enjoying their outdoor living areas longer throughout the year. These technology-infused shades help keep insects at bay, reduce the sun’s glare, and increase the privacy of your patio—they are the perfect addition to your backyard.

Bug-Free Relaxation

Have you ever enjoyed a peaceful dinner outdoors without bugs buzzing around? Motorized patio shades are constructed from a tightly woven mesh screen that acts as an effective barrier against insects. This extra protection allows you to relax and savor those long, tranquil summer evenings without any pestering interruptions.

Solar Control for Comfort

Motorized patio shades are also helpful in protecting against the intense afternoon sun. Our recommended shades use high-quality solar screen fabric to block harsh sunlight, reduce glare, and provide essential shade on hot days. Solar screens also help protect outdoor furniture from sun damage so it remains colorful and durable long into the future.

Privacy at Your Command

Turn your patio into a private sanctuary using motorized patio shades as a protective barrier from prying eyes. Shades come in various opacities to help obstruct the view from outside while still allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery outdoors. Choose a shade, color, and style that complements your home's design.
