Enhance Your Nashville Home with Expert Lighting Design & Shading Solutions

Custom Lighting Design Solutions for Nashville Homes


Creating an elegant home involves more than selecting the perfect color schemes and décor—smart lighting is equally essential. It should accentuate architectural details, draw focus to luxury furnishings, and make colors pop. Thoughtfully designed lighting also improves daily living, uplifting your mood and supporting productivity. Work with an expert like Prodigy AV to refine your lighting design and control, ensuring a sophisticated home and lifestyle.

Why hire a lighting designer?

Hiring a dedicated lighting designer might seem unnecessary for homeowners who’ve previously depended on electrical engineers and interior designers for home lighting automation decisions. However, when lighting is treated as a secondary task, it often lacks focus in your home. A lighting designer specializes in technical, scientific, and aesthetic aspects to create tailored solutions for each client.

  • Specialists in the newest advanced lighting technology through continuous education
  • Sophisticated methods turn unseen light into striking architectural elements
  • In-depth training in physics, optics, electrical systems, codes, and sustainability
  • Lower equipment expenses via competitive bidding and manufacturer collaborations
  • Upfront cost evaluations highlight lighting strategies to minimize equipment and labor expenses
  • Detail-oriented professionals develop creative designs tailored to your residential and commercial spaces

Essential Layers of Light


Relying on a single lighting tone can lead to eye strain, harsh shadows, and static spaces. Combine ambient, task, and accent lighting for a well-balanced, adaptable environment.
Ambient Light
Brighten the whole room with gentle lighting from natural daylight, recessed fixtures, or pendant lights.
Task Lighting
Focused illumination from pendants, desk lamps, or under-cabinet lights supports specific activities.
Accent Lighting
Draw attention to artwork, photographs, and architectural features with lighting that’s three times brighter than ambient sources.
  • Daytime

    Stay aligned with your work routine using a “Daytime” lighting scene that automatically turns on at 9 AM. As you enter your home office, bright white-blue ambient and desk lights create an environment that promotes focus and productivity.

  • Bedtime

    Wind down for a restful night with a “Bedtime” lighting scene, easily activated from a bedside remote or tablet. Lights gradually dim and shift to a warm, orange glow, fostering a calming atmosphere for better sleep.

  • Entertaining

    Host with flair using a “Party” lighting scene that sets kitchen and living room lights to a vibrant white-blue hue, keeping the energy lively. Incorporate landscape lighting to draw guests toward your inviting outdoor spaces.

  • Movie Night

    Create the ideal cinematic setting with a “Movie Night” lighting scene, accessible via handheld remote or touchpad. This scene dims recessed lights and sconces while illuminating floor track lights for safe movement during the film.

Architectural Fixtures


To achieve a well-balanced layered lighting design, it’s essential to use a variety of fixtures rather than depending solely on recessed ceiling lights. By blending high-end pendants, downlights, and track lighting, our designers create even, multi-dimensional illumination that adds character and elegance to your home while supporting daily activities. Discover how each fixture contributes to enriching your space.

Linear Pendants

Design-Forward Lighting
Pendant lights available in a wide range of colors and finishes add a spark to your décor while supporting ambient or task lighting needs. Transform your interior design through elegant fixtures hanging from the ceiling or within a track light system.

Downlights

Illumination without Clutter
Downlights are primarily used for ambient lighting, though they’re also used for task or accent lighting in some applications. Recessed or flush mounted in the ceiling, they’re available in round or square trims to match your décor.

Retrofit Downlights

Remodel without Limitations
Replace outdated lighting fixtures seamlessly with retrofit downlights featuring low-profile designs that fit into most standard recessed housing. Select from our collection of high-end tunable LED fixtures available in round or square trims.

Track lighting

Bright, Versatile Spotlights
Track lighting offers a flexible solution for your home’s accent and task lighting needs. Install adjustable spotlights on a track or rail system to showcase artwork or illuminate cabinets. Expand your stylistic choices with straight, round or curved track models.

Lighting Control Installation


Seamless control is key to maximizing the impact of your lighting design. Effortlessly manage various fixtures throughout your home with a lighting control and automation system, allowing for cohesive layering and a consistent aesthetic. A centralized system offers intuitive, customized control from your preferred devices and ensures a clean, organized installation for a clutter-free environment in Nashville, TN.

Interfaces

Premium lighting control systems offer customizable interfaces accessible via dedicated touchpads or mobile apps. Control your lighting effortlessly with intuitive graphic menus displaying the status of lights in each room. Adjust brightness, color, and color temperature for individual fixtures or groups, then save your preferred settings for quick access anytime in your Brentwood, TN, home.

Processor

At the core of your lighting control system is the processor, which manages communication between control devices and fixtures. A high-quality processor ensures fast, reliable performance without delays. This means instant, precise responses to every command, regardless of the device you use. During the design phase, our lighting specialists select the right processor model based on your specific bandwidth and performance needs.

Dimming Panels

What sets professional lighting control installations in Nashville, TN, apart is centralized management through dimming panels. These panels, discreetly housed in equipment rooms or utility closets, handle all dimming and control functions. They minimize wall clutter, reduce wiring complexity, support advanced programming, and eliminate the need for extra power boosters while also managing fans and motors seamlessly.

Smart Dimmers/Switches

Streamline your interiors with smart dimmers and switches designed to handle sophisticated commands and scenes. These sleek keypads replace bulky switch banks, offering simplified control and a clean aesthetic. Gain quick access to lighting scenes, manage lights throughout your home, and combine dimming and switching functions in one unit. Choose from flush-mounted options with matte, metal, or glass finishes in a variety of colors to complement any décor.
