Benefits

Lighting for Tomorrow’s Standards

We engineer lighting to be future-ready: wireless networked lighting controls (Lutron Vive, nLight Air), DALI-2, and BLE mesh platforms that scale as your space grows. For hospitality and nightlife, we integrate DMX for dynamic scenes while maintaining Title 24 control sequences. Where appropriate, we deploy PoE and centrally monitored emergency lighting. Cloud dashboards provide scheduling, energy analytics, and remote support—so your system evolves with your brand, not against it.

All Permits & Codes Covered

Our team manages the entire compliance package: California Electrical Code, Title 24 Part 6 lighting and controls, and CALGreen. We compile and submit required documents (e.g., NRCC, NRCI, and NRCA forms), coordinate with the City of West Hollywood plan check, and schedule Acceptance Testing with certified technicians. From automatic shutoff and daylighting to demand response, we make sure your system passes inspections the first time and stays compliant.

Proven Workmanship You Trust

We use commercial-grade LED fixtures and drivers with high CRI, low-flicker performance, and 0–10V/ELV/DMX compatibility. Conductors are copper THHN/THWN in EMT where required, or plenum-rated cable in permitted spaces, with precision terminations and labeling. We prioritize glare control, surge protection, code-clear junction access, and UL-listed emergency solutions (inverters or battery units). Every system is bench-tested, megger-checked where applicable, and commissioned to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Tailored Lighting Design Solutions

Lighting starts with how your space should feel. We perform on-site assessments, photometric modeling, and sample mockups to dial in beam spreads, CCT (2700K–4000K), and CRI for merchandise, artwork, or dining. We plan sensible zoning, multi-level dimming, and sensor placement for Title 24—without compromising aesthetic goals. The result is a tailored package of fixtures, controls, circuits, and documentation aligned with your budget, brand, and schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a simple lighting retrofit in West Hollywood?+

If you’re swapping one-for-one fixtures without new wiring, some projects may qualify for over-the-counter permits, but Title 24 often still applies—especially for controls. Anything involving new circuits, relays, or significant fixture changes requires a permit and inspections. We confirm scope, prepare the submittal, and coordinate with the City of West Hollywood Building and Safety Division.

Can you work at night to avoid disrupting my restaurant or boutique?+

Yes. We routinely schedule night or early-morning shifts to keep front-of-house operating. We follow West Hollywood construction hour rules, use low-noise tools, maintain temporary lighting, and clean thoroughly before opening. We coordinate with property managers for elevator access, loading, and parking to ensure a smooth overnight turnover.

How do you handle historic or design-sensitive spaces?+

We start with mockups and photometrics to validate beam spreads and color. We conceal drivers and wiring, use dim-to-warm or high-CRI LEDs, and select low-glare optics. For exterior work on designated resources, we coordinate with the Historic Preservation review. The goal is to preserve architecture while achieving code-compliant performance and modern controllability.
