Lighting design & control
Smart lighting control in Hampstead and North London
Good lighting control is the change people notice first. Instead of six dimmers by the door and a guess at which one does what, you get a small engraved keypad with scenes that suit the room — morning, evening, dining, away.
- Scene design room by room
- Retrofit or first-fix
- Circuits kept, switches simplified

North & North West London
Designed around how you actually use each room
We start with the rooms that annoy you. Usually it is a kitchen-diner with four circuits fighting each other, a stairwell that is either dark or blinding, and a living room where nobody can find the right dimmer. We map the circuits you already have and design scenes on top of them.
In a period house we can often work retrofit — modules behind existing plates or in the ceiling void — so there is no chasing walls and no redecorating. On a renovation we prefer to be involved at first fix, where a centralised dimming panel gives you the cleanest wall plates and the widest choice of fittings.
Dimming curves matter as much as the hardware. We set minimum levels so nothing flickers or buzzes at 5 per cent, match colour temperature across a room, and label every keypad button in plain English so a guest or a cleaner can use it without instructions.
What the job includes
What a lighting control project covers
Circuit survey
We record every existing circuit and fitting type before proposing anything, so the quote reflects your actual wiring.
Scene design
Named scenes per room set with you on site in daylight and after dark, then fine-tuned once you have lived with them.
Engraved keypads
Neat plates in finishes that suit the interior, replacing clusters of mismatched dimmers.
Flicker-free dimming
Drivers matched to fittings and minimum levels set properly — the most common fault we are called to fix.
App and voice options
Phone control and voice added if you want it, but the wall keypad always works on its own.
Away and holiday modes
Lighting that varies through the evening while you are away, tied in with security if you have it.

Questions we get asked
Smart lighting control — the details
Do you have to rewire the house?
Usually not. Many homes can be done retrofit using modules behind existing plates. A full rewire is only worth it during a renovation.
Will it work if the internet goes down?
Yes. The keypads and dimming are local. Losing broadband only affects app and voice control.
Can you fix flickering LED downlights?
That is one of our most common call-outs. It is nearly always a dimmer and driver mismatch or a minimum level set too low.
Do you work with lighting designers?
Yes — we are happy to take a lighting plan and deliver the control side, or advise on the plan before it is finalised.
Can we start with one room?
Absolutely. A kitchen or living room is a sensible first step, and the system can grow later.
