Lighting Solutions in Atlanta
Beautiful, comfortable, and energy-smart lighting—designed around your home and lifestyle.
Lighting That Shapes How You Live
Great lighting does more than brighten a room—it shapes how your home feels and functions. AVI – Audio Video Interiors designs and installs smart lighting solutions in Atlanta and nearby areas—Alpharetta, Kennesaw, Buckhead, Milton, Dunwoody, and Vinings—that blend style, comfort, and efficiency. From layered lighting plans and dimming scenes to tunable white and automation, we build systems that look stunning and feel effortless.
Our approach focuses on how you live. We combine architectural fixtures, dimmable loads, and smart controls to create scenes for cooking, working, entertaining, relaxing, or winding down. Your keypads and mobile app make lighting intuitive for the whole family—no hunting for switches or guessing which dimmer does what. And because lighting connects to more than looks, we incorporate circadian-friendly settings (cooler by day, warmer by night), glare reduction, and energy-saving schedules that support comfort and well-being.
Whether you need a pre-wire plan for new construction or a retrofit lighting upgrade in an existing home, we deliver clean installation, quiet dimming, and reliable control—often integrated with shades, audio, security, and climate for one-tap convenience. The result is a home that’s more inviting, more useful, and more you.

FAQs About Lighting Solutions Installation in Atlanta
What makes professional lighting control different from store-bought smart bulbs?
While consumer smart bulbs offer basic remote control, they typically function as isolated products rather than a cohesive system. Professional home lighting control Atlanta solutions provide several significant advantages:
- Whole-Circuit Control: Smart switches manage all fixtures on a circuit, rather than requiring expensive smart bulbs in every socket
- Reliability: Systems operate on dedicated wireless networks rather than overtaxing your home WiFi
- Longevity: Professional systems from Lutron are built to last decades, not years
- Scalability: Start with one room and expand over time without compatibility issues
- Elegant Interface: Replace switch clutter with beautiful keypads featuring custom-engraved buttons
- Professional Programming: Custom scenes and automations tailored specifically to your lifestyle
The result is a dramatically more cohesive, reliable, and sophisticated lighting experience.
How does Lutron 3-way dimmer wiring improve my home?
Lutron’s 3-way dimming capability allows you to control a single light or group of lights from multiple locations – essential for spaces with multiple entrances like hallways, staircases, or large rooms. Unlike standard 3-way switches that offer only on/off control, Lutron’s smart dimmers provide:
- Consistent dimming from every control point
- Scene activation from multiple locations
- Integration with motion sensors and timers
- Clean aesthetic with matching keypads
Our certified technicians handle all aspects of installation, ensuring perfect functionality while meeting electrical code requirements.
Will lighting control work with my existing home setup?
In most cases, yes. Atlanta home lighting control systems from AVI are designed to work with:
- Most existing wiring in both new and older homes
- Nearly all lighting fixtures (LED, incandescent, halogen, fluorescent)
- Popular voice assistants (Alexa, Google, Siri)
- Major smart home platforms (Control4, Savant, Crestron)
- Various architectural styles and décor preferences
During our initial consultation, we’ll assess your current setup and recommend the optimal approach for your specific situation.
How does smart lighting actually save energy?
The best home lighting control Atlanta homeowners choose delivers significant energy savings through multiple mechanisms:
- Dimming: Even 10% dimming reduces energy use by 10% while extending bulb life
- Occupancy/Vacancy Detection: Lights automatically adjust based on room usage
- Daylight Harvesting: Sensors reduce artificial light when natural light is sufficient
- Scheduling: Lights automatically adjust based on time of day or household patterns
- Remote Access: Easily turn off forgotten lights from anywhere
These features typically reduce lighting energy consumption by 30-40% and extend bulb life significantly – providing both immediate savings and long-term value.
How much does professional lighting control cost in Atlanta?
Investment varies based on several factors:
- Single-Room Solutions: Starting around $2,000-3,000
- Partial Home Systems: Typically $5,000-10,000
- Comprehensive Whole-Home Control: $10,000-20,000+ depending on home size and complexity
During your consultation, we’ll provide transparent pricing options aligned with your priorities and budget. Many clients choose to implement their system in phases, starting with high-impact areas like main living spaces or master suites.
