Turn on each layer of light
This is one of our living room projects. Tap the wall keypad to switch each layer on or off, then raise or lower to dim. The room changes the same way it does in real life.
Or run the whole house from your phone or tablet
The same lights, set from the couch, the driveway or across the country. Tap a scene and watch the room change.
App screens are a demo. On a phone, the room view stays pinned at the top while you scroll the controls. We set up and program your Lutron lighting controls so every scene is ready the day we finish.

A few favorites up front. More photos sit beside each lighting topic below, from kitchens and wine rooms to decks and baths.
Lighting design in Colorado Springs, planned with your designer
Good lighting starts on paper. We meet with you, your interior designer or your builder, walk the space and talk about how each room gets used: where you cook, read, entertain and wind down.
Chandeliers, pendants and sconces
Statement fixtures your designer picks, hung, centered and dimmed the way the plan calls for.
Recessed cans vs wafer lights
Either way, we lay recessed lighting out for even light with less glare, not a grid of holes in the ceiling.
Recessed and ceiling lighting
Recessed lights laid out for even light, with decorative ceiling fixtures on their own dimmers.
LED color temperature and dimming
Color temperature is measured in Kelvin. Lower numbers look warm and golden. Higher numbers look cool and crisp. Keeping one color across a room makes it feel calm and finished.
Smooth dimming depends on the fixture, the driver and the dimmer working together. Mismatched parts cause flicker, buzzing or lights that drop out at low levels. We pick compatible parts and set the low end so lights fade cleanly.
Warm white, room to room
Keeping one color temperature across a room makes it feel calm and finished.
Lighting scenes and keypads
A scene is a saved set of light levels across a room or the whole house. One button sets Evening, Dining or Goodnight, just like the demo at the top of this page.
A keypad replaces a row of switches with one clean control, and we label every button in plain words. Popular spots are the entry, the kitchen and a Goodnight button by the bed that turns off the whole house.
Exterior and landscape lighting in Colorado Springs
Outdoor lighting makes a home feel welcoming and helps you see steps, paths and the driveway. We light the front of the home, trees, walkways, decks, railings and patios with low-glare fixtures aimed where you need them.
Pikes Peak weather is hard on outdoor parts. Wind, hail, fast temperature swings and strong sun at altitude all wear on fixtures and connections. We use fixtures and wiring rated for wet locations and put lights on timers or dusk-to-dawn controls so they come on at the right time all year.
Decks, patios and outdoor living
Step lights, pavilion pendants and string lights on a deck designed by designATplay.
Accent, slat and cove lighting
Accent lighting is the layer people notice: LED tape in slat walls, cove lighting in tray ceilings, under-cabinet and toe-kick lights, lit floating shelves and backlit mirrors.
The details make or break it. We use channels and diffusers so you never see dots, place drivers where they can be serviced and hide the wiring in the build.
Backlit stone, shelves and niches
Channels and diffusers keep the glow even, with no dots and no visible drivers.
Smart lighting controls for your home
We install Lutron lighting controls and similar systems that let you dim, schedule and run scenes from a keypad or your phone. Have the lights come on when you pull in, run a vacation schedule while you are away, or turn off the house from bed. We program it before we leave and show you how to change it.
Under-cabinet and toe-kick lighting
Task light where you work and a low glow along the floor for late nights.
Lighting for remodels and new custom homes
We pull the permit and schedule the inspection, and we work in Broadmoor, Flying Horse, Monument, Woodmoor, Black Forest and across El Paso County.
Bath lighting
Backlit mirrors, lit shower niches and a soft glow under the vanity.
Goes great together
Custom lighting often comes with a bigger project. These services pair well with it.
Builders and Designers
Building or remodeling? We plan the lighting and electrical with your designer and builder from the start.

LED drivers, dimmers and smart lighting controls are electronics worth protecting from surges.

A yearly check of your panel and connections keeps the system behind your lighting in good shape.

Do you design the lighting or just install it?
Both. We can design a lighting plan with you, or work from a plan your designer or architect already made.
Can you add recessed lighting to an existing ceiling?
Usually, yes. Canless wafer lights make it easier to add light to a finished ceiling with less patching. We check framing, insulation and access first.
What color temperature should I pick?
Most homes look best at 2700K to 3000K. We often suggest warmer light in living spaces and slightly crisper light in kitchens and baths.
Why do my LED lights flicker when dimmed?
Usually the dimmer and the fixture are not a good match. We swap in compatible parts and set the low end so they dim smoothly.
Do I need a smart home system to use scenes?
No. A lighting control system can run scenes from wall keypads alone. The phone app is a bonus, not a requirement.
Do you install outdoor and landscape lighting?
Yes. We light paths, steps, decks, trees and the front of the home with fixtures rated for Colorado weather.
Do you pull permits for lighting work?
Yes, when the work needs one. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection.
How much does custom lighting cost?
It depends on the number of fixtures, the controls, ceiling access and finishes. After a walkthrough, you get clear written options to choose from.
