California’s Premier Lighting Design Company for Luxury Homes

Lighting Design

At AUDIOVISIONS, lighting isn’t just illumination—it’s integral to how you live, feel, and connect within your home. As a full-service lighting design company serving Los Angeles, Northern California, Palm Desert, and Orange County, we partner with architects and luxury builders to bring elegance, control, and wellness into every room. From design to specification, automation to installation, our end-to-end approach ensures that your lighting system is as refined and functional as the space it enhances.

Benefits of hiring a lighting designer

While many homeowners rely on electrical engineers or decorators for lighting decisions, this often leads to missed opportunities. Our lighting designers deliver a design-driven approach rooted in collaboration with architects, interior designers, and builders. We ensure your lighting plan complies with California Title 24 codes while offering the visual and emotional impact your space deserves.

Layers of Light

A single light source rarely achieves luxury-level impact and can lead to obtrusive shadows and rigid spaces. Instead, we blend ambient, task, and accent lighting into layered lighting scenes tailored to your lifestyle.

Ambient Light

Create soft elegance with overhead lighting that defines modern minimalism. Use recessed downlights or pendants to provide an inviting base layer of light that calms and unifies.

Task Lighting

Support precision in kitchens, offices, and utility spaces with directional fixtures like under-cabinet lights or adjustable pendants engineered to reduce glare and enhance function.

Accent Lighting

Showcase art, textures, and finishes with lighting designed to highlight detail. From millwork to fine art, these lights bring depth and dimension, reinforcing architectural intent.

Daytime

Start the day focused and energized with a “Daytime” scene ideal for home offices in contemporary open layouts. Bright white-blue lighting activates automatically to support concentration and cognitive performance in high-function zones.
Bedtime

Wind down with a “Bedtime” lighting setting perfectly suited for minimalist bedrooms in high-end homes. Activate a wind-down sequence with warm-toned lights that emulate sunset and encourage restful sleep, triggered from a bedside keypad, voice control, or smart device.
Entertaining

Transform your California patio and great room into a seamless hosting environment. This scene brightens ambient and accent lights while enhancing landscape features after dusk.
Movie Night

Set the tone for cinematic immersion with a “Movie Night” lighting automation. Dim recessed lights and wall sconces while activating floor track lighting for safety. Control everything from a touchpad for a luxurious, effortless experience.

Architectural Fixtures

The heart of an exceptional lighting plan lies in its fixtures. To achieve a successful layered lighting design, you’ll want to incorporate a wide range of lighting fixtures throughout your space instead of relying solely on canned ceiling lighting. AUDIOVISIONS offers designer-specified solutions from premium brands, aligned with the stylistic cues of California’s most luxurious residences from coastal modern to Spanish-Mediterranean.

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.

Retrofit Downlights

MODERNIZE WITHOUT LIMITATIONS

Replace dated ceiling lights with sleek, energy-efficient retrofit downlights. Our tunable LEDs fit seamlessly into standard recessed housings, delivering performance and style without invasive construction.

Pendants

ADD ELEGANCE TO YOUR HOME

Whether accentuating an island or creating a moment in a stairwell, pendants offer form, function, and flair. Use standalone fixtures for task or ambient lighting, or as part of a cohesive, architecturally-aligned lighting system.

Downlights

ILLUMINATION WITHOUT CLUTTER

Whether flush-mounted or recessed, downlights offer refined ambient lighting that enhances spatial clarity and design integrity. Available in round or square trims to match your décor.

Lighting Control

Our smart lighting control systems are engineered for seamless integration into refined lifestyles. Easily manage the diverse fixtures in your California residence to create beautiful layers while maintaining a cohesive feel throughout your space. Centralized control simplifies adjustments, offering intuitive, tailor-made solutions that streamline installation and reduce wall clutter for a sleek, modern look.

Interfaces

High-end lighting control systems feature personalized interfaces available on dedicated touchpads or mobile apps. Approach lighting your way with easy-to-use graphic menus that display the status of every room. Adjust brightness, color, and temperature for individual fixtures or groups, save your favorite settings, and recall them instantly with a single tap.

Processor

The processor serves as the brain of your lighting control system, ensuring seamless communication between devices and fixtures. A high-performance processor delivers instant, accurate responses to commands, whether you’re using a wall keypad or mobile app. Our experts evaluate your lighting automation needs to select the ideal processor for optimal performance and efficiency.

Dimming Panels

Professional lighting control systems use centralized dimming panels installed discreetly in utility rooms or closets. These panels reduce wall clutter, simplify wiring infrastructure, and enable advanced programming features. Alongside dimming, these panels can control fans, motors, and more, ensuring a clean and efficient lighting system throughout your California home.

Smart Dimmers/Switches

Smart dimmers and switches combine functionality and luxury, replacing bulky switch banks with elegant keypads. Control complex lighting scenes or manage lights across your entire home with a single touch. These dimmers are available in flush-mounted designs with finishes in matte, metal, or glass to complement any décor, making them an ideal addition to sophisticated lighting automation systems in California residences.
