Regent5 designs and installs lighting control that brings out the character of a home. Thoughtfully composed scenes, precise dimming and carefully selected controls complement the architecture, artwork and interiors, with Lutron lighting and shading planned together from the earliest stages.
Lutron HomeWorks is a whole-home lighting control platform for large and sophisticated residences. Depending on the project, it can use centralized, hybrid or distributed control architecture and integrate lighting, keypads, motorized shades and advanced sources such as Ketra. Regent5 coordinates the control design with the electrical and architectural lighting scope, then programs scenes around how the home is actually used.
Lutron RadioRA 3 is a powerful and flexible lighting control solution ideal for high-end renovations and mid-to-large homes throughout the Bay Area. Combining wireless convenience with advanced control capabilities, RadioRA 3 allows homeowners to manage lighting, shades, and keypads without the need for extensive rewiring. Its modern aesthetic, intuitive app control, and integration with smart home systems make it a popular choice for homeowners in San Francisco looking to upgrade to a refined, automated lighting environment.
Lutron Ketra provides precise dimming, tunable-white control and saturated color with high-quality color rendering for architectural interiors. Color temperature and intensity can be programmed to change through the day or by scene, allowing the lighting to support different activities, finishes and moods. Ketra integrates with Lutron HomeWorks and is best specified together with the fixture, control and electrical design.
Lutron Palladiom lighting controls are designed to be both functional and architectural, offering a minimalist aesthetic that complements high-end interiors. These precision-crafted keypads and controls feature sleek metal finishes, backlit buttons, and a refined, low-profile design that integrates seamlessly into luxury homes across San Francisco and Marin County. When paired with Lutron lighting systems, Palladiom controls provide intuitive, elegant access to lighting scenes while enhancing the overall design of the space.
Modern lighting control can do far more than dim a circuit. Systems such as Ketra, Rania and Lumaris can support warm-dim, tunable-white and color-capable applications when specified for the right fixtures and spaces. Regent5 uses those capabilities to create practical daytime, evening, entertaining and task scenes while coordinating color quality, fixture compatibility and control behavior with the design team.
Architectural lighting control allows homeowners to shape scenes around the way each space is used. Dinner, entertaining, cinema and evening routines can each have a considered light level and mood suited to the room. Lighting scenes can also coordinate with motorized shades, audio systems and home automation, with Regent5 carrying the design through programming and commissioning.
Lighting control is most successful when it is planned as part of the home’s infrastructure rather than added after the architecture is resolved. Regent5 works with architects, builders and interior designers to coordinate controls, keypads and automated shading with the finished interior. Flush-mounted details, discreet hardware and considered device placement allow the technology to support the architecture while remaining intuitive in daily use.
Regent5 coordinates lighting controls as part of the architecture, electrical design and smart-home platform so scenes, keypads, fixtures and natural light work together.
Panelized dimming and switching architecture planned with electrical distribution, equipment spaces and service access.
Tunable-white and full-spectrum lighting scenes coordinated for color quality, time of day and architectural intent.
Keypad locations, engravings, scene logic and dimming behavior designed around how each room is actually used.
Drivers, LED loads, phase control and fixture requirements coordinated before procurement to avoid flicker and performance issues.
Lighting scenes coordinated with motorized shades, daylight conditions and privacy requirements for consistent room behavior.
Occupancy, vacancy and daylight sensors configured so automation supports comfort without creating distracting behavior.
Exterior, landscape and architectural lighting integrated into the same control strategy with schedules and scenes.
Color temperature and intensity can shift through the day while preserving manual control and room-specific preferences.
Circuiting, panel locations, emergency loads and control power coordinated with the electrical scope before rough-in.
Final scene programming, dimming calibration, owner training and long-term service complete the system.
Where we work.
Regent5 designs, installs and commissions architectural lighting control for custom homes and estates throughout San Francisco, Atherton, Woodside, Hillsborough, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Los Altos Hills, San Jose, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Marin, Napa and Wine Country, Carmel and Pebble Beach, with select projects extending through Southern California.
The best system depends on fixture types, dimming requirements, keypad design, shading, automation platform and service expectations. Lutron HomeWorks is a common choice for large custom homes because it supports centralized control, advanced scenes and broad integration.
Tunable-white lighting adjusts color temperature as well as brightness. It can create warmer evening scenes, cooler daytime light and better alignment with daylight, interiors and artwork.
Ketra combines advanced LED light engines with digital control so intensity, color temperature and full-spectrum color can be programmed precisely. It is designed for architectural scenes and consistent dimming rather than simple on-off smart bulbs.
Yes. Tunable-white systems can be programmed so intensity and color temperature change through the day or by scene. This can create cooler daytime light and warmer evening conditions while supporting the room's architectural, task and aesthetic requirements.
During design development, before circuiting, fixture drivers, keypad locations, shade details and reflected-ceiling plans are locked.
Centralized systems move much of the dimming and switching hardware to panels and use low-voltage keypads in rooms. Smart switches put control electronics at individual wall locations. Large custom homes often benefit from centralized architecture for cleaner walls and more flexible scenes.
Lighting and shades can share keypads, room scenes, schedules and daylight logic. Coordinating them early also helps align shade pockets, window conditions and the visual intent of each space.
Fixture drivers, dimming protocol, minimum load, control type and electrical conditions must be checked before procurement. Mockups and compatibility testing are especially important on premium projects.
Yes. A dedicated lighting platform can expose selected scenes and commands to the broader automation system while retaining reliable local lighting operation.
Often yes. The retrofit path depends on existing wiring, panel access, fixture compatibility, wall conditions and whether the project can accommodate new centralized or hybrid control hardware.
Dimming, occupancy logic, schedules, daylight response and whole-home off scenes can reduce unnecessary lighting use. Actual savings depend on occupancy patterns, fixture loads and programming.
Budget depends on the number of lighting loads, panel architecture, keypad count, fixture and driver complexity, tunable-lighting scope, shading integration and programming. Custom homes should budget from engineered load schedules and room-by-room requirements.
