Interior lighting layouts, fixture schedules, control zoning and photometric studies, carried through to aiming and commissioning.
Strong residential lighting begins with how each room should feel and function. We coordinate ambient, task and accent layers; artwork, millwork and architecture; daylight; ceiling conditions and viewing angles before fixture selections and circuiting are locked.
Lighting ControlA fixture's aperture, beam angle, output, shielding, trim and aiming matter as much as its decorative appearance. Regent5 coordinates architectural fixtures and decorative lighting so surfaces are illuminated intentionally, visual comfort is protected and the ceiling remains disciplined.
Lutron Lighting & ShadesWe coordinate color temperature, dimming behavior, color quality and tunable-white strategies around architecture, finishes and daily use. Where appropriate, systems such as Lutron Ketra, Rania and Lumaris can support dynamic light across the day while remaining integrated with whole-home controls.
Ketra Intelligent LightingFixture design and control design should happen together. We coordinate dimming zones, drivers, panelized or distributed controls, keypad locations, engravings, occupancy logic, daylight response, shades and scenes so the lighting system is intuitive rather than a collection of disconnected switches.
Vantage Lighting ControlRecessed housings, decorative fixtures, cove lighting, millwork channels, drivers, transformers, control panels and shade pockets all compete for space. Regent5 coordinates reflected ceiling plans, electrical requirements and architectural details early so lighting works with structure, HVAC, sprinklers and interiors.
Motorized ShadesThe design is not finished when fixtures are energized. We verify dimming performance, aim adjustable fixtures, tune scenes, coordinate keypad behavior and review the completed home under real nighttime conditions so the installed result matches the design intent.

Regent5 supports architect-led custom homes and estates across Northern California and also works alongside independent lighting designers, carrying their design through electrical coordination, installation and commissioning. When Regent5's in-house lighting designers lead the design, the scope can include reflected ceiling plan layouts, fixture schedules, photometric studies, mockups, control zoning and tunable-white strategy, with integration into Lutron, Vantage, motorized shades and whole-home automation.
Explore Lighting & Electrical ServicesThe exact package depends on the project team and phase, but these are the recurring decisions that turn lighting intent into a buildable, controllable and commissionable system.
Ambient, task and accent layers organized around architecture, artwork, millwork, furnishings, circulation and the way each space is used.
Architectural and decorative fixture types, apertures, trims, beam spreads, shielding and mounting conditions coordinated against the ceiling and interior design.
Downlights, decorative fixtures, speakers, sensors, sprinklers, diffusers, shade pockets and other ceiling devices aligned to preserve clean visual order.
Fixture drivers, dimming protocols, minimum loads and control hardware checked so fixtures dim smoothly and predictably instead of flickering or dropping out.
Static or tunable-white strategies coordinated around daylight, materials, artwork and room use, with Ketra, Rania or Lumaris considered where dynamic light adds value.
Circuits, zones, keypad locations, engravings and scene logic coordinated with Lutron, Vantage or other supported control systems and the interior architecture.
Linear lighting, millwork channels, coves, shelves, toe-kicks and specialty details coordinated for fixture access, drivers, wiring, shielding and serviceability.
Motorized shades, daylight conditions and lighting scenes coordinated so electric light and natural light work together throughout the day.
Circuiting, control panels, driver locations, transformer requirements and equipment clearances aligned with the electrical set and construction sequence.
Adjustable fixtures aimed, dimming verified, scenes tuned and nighttime conditions reviewed so the installed lighting performs as designed.
Where we work.
Regent5's in-house lighting designers provide interior lighting design, photometric studies, lighting-control coordination and commissioning for custom homes, estates and commercial interiors throughout Northern California. Select engagements extend to Santa Barbara, the Los Angeles area, and Orange County.
Yes. We can coordinate fixture type, aperture, beam spread, shielding, output, dimming behavior and aiming around the architecture, finishes, artwork and desired visual effect.
Lighting design determines what should be illuminated, with which fixtures, beams, color and layers. Lighting control determines how those fixtures are dimmed, grouped, automated and operated through keypads, scenes, sensors and schedules. The two should be designed together.
Ideally during schematic design or design development, while reflected ceilings, millwork, lighting-control panels, shade pockets and electrical infrastructure can still be coordinated without costly field changes.
Yes. Regent5 coordinates architectural lighting, decorative fixtures, dimming, lighting controls, scene design and commissioning for custom homes, estates and major renovations. Regent5 serves custom homes and estates across Northern California, including San Francisco (Pacific Heights, Sea Cliff, Presidio Heights, Noe Valley and Russian Hill), Atherton, Hillsborough, Woodside, Portola Valley, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Los Altos Hills, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Marin, Napa, Sonoma, Carmel and Pebble Beach. In existing finished homes, retrofit scope can include fixture and lamp changes, dimming corrections, scene programming, keypad updates, tunable-lighting upgrades and selective rewiring where access allows.
It is a fair question, and the answer depends on the home. Cost is driven by the fixtures, beams and layers each room needs, dimming and control integration, shade coordination, circuiting, aiming and scene tuning, and whether the home is new or a finished retrofit. A number given without drawings or a site visit would mislead. Visit the Regent5 Showroom & Design Center in San Carlos or book a consultation.
Yes. We frequently work within architect- and designer-led projects, translating the design intent into fixture, control, electrical and commissioning requirements while preserving the project's visual language.
