Smart Lighting Control for Your Home
An intelligent lighting control system from Video General sets the mood for any occasion, whether you are dining, entertaining, or settling in for movie night in your home theater. One “All Off” or “Goodnight” button turns everything off at the end of the night. We design wireless lighting control for any home and centralized systems for new homes using brands like Lutron and Crestron. Centralized control replaces banks of light switches with a single color-matched keypad and connects with your motorized shades and home automation system. Every lighting control system is personalized to your needs.
Smart LED Lighting Fixtures
Light shapes every mood and brings focus to every moment. The right color temperature and brightness make furniture, artwork, and flooring look even better. Whether it’s a softly dimmed dinner for two or colored accent lights that transform a room for a party, nothing improves ambiance like architectural LED fixtures from brands such as DMF. Per the U.S. Department of Energy, LEDs deliver major energy savings, so you save energy and feel better with smart LED lighting.

Circadian Lighting
Have you wondered why your phone automatically shifts into night mode in the evening? Research summarized by Harvard Health shows that artificial light, especially blue light after dark, can disrupt sleep and your body’s natural circadian rhythm. By integrating tunable white LED fixtures with circadian programming into your intelligent lighting control system, your home can mimic the changing color and intensity of natural daylight, bright and cool in the morning and warm and dim at night, to help offset some of that impact.

Outdoor Low-Voltage Landscape Lighting
Outdoor low-voltage landscape lighting highlights your home’s architecture and landscaping at night while increasing safety and security. Well-placed exterior lighting accents your home and yard, illuminates pathways and steps to help prevent accidents, and removes dark areas where intruders could hide. When connected to your security and alarm system, exterior lights can flash during an emergency to ward off would-be thieves and help first responders find your home faster. Pair it with outdoor living and entertainment for evenings on the patio.

Intelligent Lighting FAQs
What is an intelligent lighting control system?
An intelligent lighting control system lets you manage every light in your home from keypads, home control touch screens, a smartphone app, or voice commands. Instead of flipping individual switches, you recall preset “scenes” such as Dinner, Entertain, Movie, or Goodnight that adjust multiple lights at once. Video General designs and installs these systems for homes across Dallas-Fort Worth using proven platforms like Lutron and Crestron, and programs schedules and scenes around how your family actually lives.
Can smart lighting control be added to an existing home?
Yes. For existing homes, Video General installs wireless lighting control that replaces standard switches with smart dimmers and keypads, typically without opening walls or rewiring. Wireless systems still support scenes, schedules, and app or voice control. For new construction or major remodels, we recommend a centralized system wired back to a single panel, which eliminates wall clutter and offers maximum reliability. Our team will recommend the right approach after reviewing your home and goals.
Do smart LED lighting fixtures save energy?
Yes. LED fixtures use significantly less electricity and last much longer than incandescent or halogen bulbs, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Pairing them with smart lights and outlets and a lighting control system adds even more savings through dimming, occupancy sensing, schedules, and one-touch “All Off” buttons that keep lights from running in empty rooms. Actual savings depend on your home, fixtures, and usage habits, and our designers can help you choose LED fixtures that balance efficiency with great light quality.
What is circadian lighting and how does it work?
Circadian lighting, also called human-centric lighting, uses tunable white LED fixtures that automatically shift color temperature and brightness throughout the day. Light is cooler and brighter in the morning and gradually becomes warmer and dimmer in the evening, mimicking natural daylight. This programming is built into your intelligent lighting control system, so it runs automatically. Many homeowners find it creates a more comfortable environment that supports their natural sleep-wake cycle.
Does Video General install outdoor landscape lighting in Dallas-Fort Worth?
Yes. Video General designs and installs outdoor low-voltage landscape lighting for homes in Grand Prairie and throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. We light pathways, driveways, trees, architecture, and outdoor living spaces, then tie the fixtures into your lighting control system so they can run on schedules, respond to sunset and sunrise, or flash during a security alarm. Exterior lighting improves curb appeal, safety, and security after dark.
Can my lighting work with motorized shades, voice assistants, and home automation?
Absolutely. Video General integrates intelligent lighting with motorized shades, thermostats, security systems, audio, and voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Siri. A single “Good Morning” scene can open the shades, raise the lights, and start your music, while “Goodnight” turns everything off and arms the alarm. Reliable home networking keeps it all running smoothly. Call 817-640-5321 to plan an integrated smart home.
