Lighting That Shapes the Way You Live
In a well-designed home, lighting does more than illuminate. It defines the atmosphere. It warms a kitchen in the morning, softens a bedroom at night, focuses your mind in the office, and fades effortlessly into the background during a quiet evening in the theater. The best lighting isn’t just seen. It’s felt.
At Audio Advice, we treat lighting as a foundational design element—equal parts aesthetic, function, and wellness. It influences how you move through a space, how you relax, how you sleep, and how you feel. When it’s done right, you don’t notice the lighting. You notice how everything feels just right.
For more than 25 years, we’ve worked alongside homeowners, architects, and builders to design and implement advanced lighting systems that elevate homes of all styles and scales. Through expert design, intelligent control, and exceptional fixtures, we bring spaces to life.

Designed Around the Way You Live
Exceptional lighting begins with a deep understanding of how you use your home. Every space has a rhythm—how it flows from day to night, how it adapts to different activities, and how it should feel at any given moment. We consider the role of natural light, the time of day, and the mood of each environment—whether it’s preparing breakfast, hosting friends, or settling in for a quiet evening.
Our team creates layered lighting designs that blend ambient, task, and accent lighting with precision control. Scenes are thoughtfully programmed to shift effortlessly with your routine, bringing comfort, clarity, and atmosphere to every space.
From bright, focused light that energizes your mornings to soft, warm illumination that encourages relaxation at night, your lighting becomes a natural extension of how you live. With a single button press—or none at all—your home responds to you.
Panelized and Retrofit Lighting Solutions
We offer two primary approaches to smart lighting, each tailored to the architecture and needs of your home.
Panelized lighting systems, preferred for new construction, route all lighting loads to centralized control panels. This enables sleek, minimalist keypads instead of traditional switch banks, reducing wall clutter and allowing for advanced dimming profiles, clean engravings, and intuitive scene control throughout the home.
For existing homes or renovations, we design retrofit lighting systems that deliver many of the same benefits through architecturally refined dimmers and wireless communication. These solutions are ideal for bringing intelligent control and personalized scenes into established spaces, without the need for extensive rewiring.
Whether panelized or retrofit, every system we create is engineered for elegance, programmed for ease, and built to deliver a seamless lighting experience for years to come.
Lighting That Supports Wellness and Mood
The right lighting doesn’t just illuminate—it influences how you feel. Bright, cooler light during the day helps sharpen focus and promote energy. In the evening, soft, warm tones signal your body to relax, wind down, and prepare for restful sleep. With today’s most advanced systems, your lighting can shift automatically with the sun’s position, supporting your circadian rhythm and enhancing your well-being without a second thought.
This is where fixture selection becomes critical. We design with industry-leading platforms like Lutron or Ketra, known for full-spectrum, tunable white light that mirrors the natural arc of daylight, and DMF Lighting, which offers precision architectural fixtures with exceptional color accuracy, dimming performance, and modular flexibility.
This isn’t about light switches or bulbs—it’s about creating a living environment that moves with you. When lighting is designed with your wellness in mind, your home becomes more than just a place to live. It becomes a place to thrive.
A Layered Philosophy to Light
Exceptional lighting design balances beauty, function, and emotion. In every project, we apply a layered approach to shape the experience of a space:
Ambient Lighting
Provides overall illumination and a sense of warmth
Task Lighting
Adds clarity where focus is needed—kitchens, vanities, and workspaces.
Accent Lighting
Draws attention to architecture, textures, and art.
Decorative Lighting
Introduces personality, softness, and visual interest.
Each layer can be controlled independently or woven together into pre-programmed scenes that respond to the moment, whether you're entertaining, working, or winding down for the night.
When layered correctly, lighting becomes architectural, adding depth, softness, and intention to every space.

Lighting Integrated Into the Smartest Homes
Smart lighting is most powerful when it works in harmony with the rest of your home. That’s why we integrate most lighting systems into Control4, the generally accepted leading smart home platform used in luxury homes because of its reliability, design flexibility, and seamless whole-home coordination.
With Control4, your lighting system doesn’t exist in isolation. It seamlessly controls your shades, audio, video, climate, and security—creating a truly connected home that adapts naturally to your routine.
When you leave your house, the lights fade, the shades rise, the music stops, and your home secures itself—all with a single button press or automated scene. At night, pathway lights guide you softly to bed while the rest of the house quietly powers down.
That’s how smart lighting should feel: invisible, effortless, and perfectly tuned to the way you live.
