One Simple System
Lighting and shades work best when they work together.
Instead of managing separate switches, dimmers, remotes and window treatments, an integrated system gives you simple control from:
- Elegant wall keypads
- Touchscreens
- Handheld remotes
- Mobile phones and tablets
- Voice-control platforms
- Automatic schedules
- Whole-home scenes
You can control one light, one shade, an entire room or the whole house from a single command.
Create the Right Atmosphere
Preset scenes allow your lights and shades to adjust together.
Rather than changing several dimmers and window treatments individually, one button can prepare the room for exactly what you want to do.
Popular scenes include:
Welcome
Raise selected shades, turn on entry lighting and illuminate the main living areas when you arrive home.
Morning
Open the shades gradually and adjust the lighting to help start the day comfortably.
Entertain
Set the lights to a warm level and position the shades for privacy before guests arrive.
Dinner
Adjust the kitchen and dining-room lighting while lowering selected shades for a more comfortable atmosphere.
Movie
Lower room-darkening shades, dim the lights and prepare your audio and video system.
Goodnight
Turn off unnecessary lights and close selected shades throughout the home.
Away
Turn off lighting, position the shades and coordinate with your security and climate systems.
Every scene can be customized around your home, schedule and personal preferences.
Smart Lighting Control
A professionally designed lighting system gives you convenient control over individual fixtures, rooms or your entire home.
Your system can include:
- Dimming and brightness control
- Whole-home lighting commands
- Automatic schedules
- Sunrise and sunset programming
- Occupancy-based control
- Exterior and landscape lighting
- Remote access
- Vacation settings
- Integration with audio, video, climate and security systems
Smart lighting can simplify everyday routines while improving the appearance and comfort of your home.
Motorized Shades
Motorized shades make it easy to manage privacy, natural light and glare without operating each window treatment by hand.
Solutions may include:
- Roller shades
- Honeycomb shades
- Roman shades
- Horizontal blinds
- Motorized drapery
- Dual-shade systems
- Sheer fabrics
- Light-filtering fabrics
- Room-darkening and blackout fabrics
Shades can operate individually, by room or throughout the entire home.
Improve Privacy
Motorized shades give you privacy when you need it without requiring you to walk from window to window.
Shades can close automatically in the evening, operate on a schedule or lower with a single whole-home command.
This is especially useful for:
- Bedrooms
- Bathrooms
- Street-facing windows
- First-floor living spaces
- Home offices
- Large glass doors
- Vacation homes
Reduce Glare
Direct sunlight can make it difficult to watch television, work at a computer or enjoy a room comfortably.
Motorized shades allow you to reduce glare while still preserving natural light and outdoor views.
They are ideal for:
- Living rooms
- Home offices
- Kitchens
- Media rooms
- Home theaters
- Bedrooms
- Sunrooms
- Large window walls
Protect Furnishings and Finishes
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can contribute to fading and discoloration.
Automated shades can help reduce ultraviolet exposure on:
- Furniture
- Hardwood floors
- Carpeting
- Artwork
- Upholstery
- Interior finishes
Shades can lower automatically during periods of intense sunlight and reopen later in the day.
Improve Energy Efficiency
Lighting and shading systems can help reduce unnecessary energy use.
Motorized shades can limit solar heat during warmer months, while smart lighting helps ensure lights are used only when needed.
Energy-management features may include:
- Automatic lighting shutoff
- Occupancy sensors
- Daylight-responsive control
- Scheduled shade operation
- Preset maximum light levels
- Sunrise and sunset programming
- Whole-home away modes
When integrated with climate control, the system can provide even greater comfort and efficiency.
Elegant Keypads and Controls
A wall filled with switches can be difficult to use and visually distracting.
Smart keypads can replace multiple traditional switches with a clean, organized control. Each button can be engraved and programmed for frequently used functions.
Common keypad buttons include:
- Welcome
- Entertain
- Dinner
- Movie
- Shades
- All Off
- Goodnight
- Away
Controls are available in a variety of finishes, styles and colors to complement your home.
Quiet, Reliable Operation
Motorized shades should operate smoothly and quietly.
We design systems that provide precise movement and coordinated operation across groups of windows. Shades can stop at preferred positions rather than operating only fully open or fully closed.
This allows you to balance:
- Daylight
- Privacy
- Glare reduction
- Outdoor views
- Interior comfort
New Construction
The best time to plan a complete lighting and shading system is during the early stages of construction.
Stereo & Video Integrators works with homeowners, builders, architects, interior designers and electricians to coordinate:
- Lighting loads
- Keypad locations
- Shade pockets
- Window-treatment clearances
- Wiring requirements
- Power-supply locations
- Equipment panels
- Control-system integration
- Future expansion
Early planning allows lighting controls and shade hardware to become part of the architecture rather than an afterthought.
Renovations and Existing Homes
Smart lighting and motorized shades are not limited to new construction.
Many systems can be installed in existing homes without extensive remodeling.
Depending on the project, we can use:
- Retrofit lighting controls
- Wireless keypads
- Battery-powered shades
- Rechargeable shades
- Nearby electrical power
- Existing low-voltage wiring
You can begin with one room, several important spaces or the entire home.
Ideal for Any Room
Integrated lighting and motorized shades can improve nearly every area of the home.
Popular applications include:
- Living rooms
- Kitchens
- Dining rooms
- Primary bedrooms
- Home theaters
- Media rooms
- Home offices
- Nurseries
- Outdoor living areas
- Vacation homes
Each room can be programmed around how it is actually used.
