Light It Up
The first warm light at the front door. The kitchen easing up at 6:45. The dinner scene at seven that quietly tells the dining room it is the most important room in the house. The hallway dimming as you turn toward the bedroom. Lighting writes the mood of a home more than any single thing in it, and most Fort Worth houses are still relying on builder-grade switches that only know on and off. We install Savant so your house can do better than that. In Westover Hills, where the western sun is brutal, Savant tunable LED fixtures shift their color temperature on their own to keep the room kind. In Rivercrest, where every original sconce is part of the house's character, Savant quietly takes over the dimming behind the wall plate without touching the fixture itself.
Fort Worth gives you long summer evenings and short winter ones, and a house that knows the difference is a different kind of house to live in. We program a Morning scene that eases the master bath and kitchen toward 4000K while the hallways stay soft. An Entertain scene that lights the dining room like candlelight and brings the bar and the patio up to meet it. A Goodnight scene that fades the entire home into darkness in a ten-second cascade you will look forward to every night. This is lighting that reads the evening for you. Not lighting you have to manage.
How We Do It in Fort Worth
Lighting Audit — We walk every room and notice the light. Where the sun comes in. Where the lamps live. Which fixtures are doing real work and which ones are quietly disappointing you.
System & Fixture Selection — Savant lighting for most Tanglewood and Arlington Heights homes, Lutron HomeWorks for the larger Mira Vista and Montserrat estates, tunable LED fixtures wherever tunable light is going to change the room.
Wiring & Module Installation — Dimming modules, load controllers, and a centralized processor — routed through attics and crawlspaces in older Fort Worth homes so the walls keep their faces.
Keypad & Device Mounting — Savant keypads, wireless keypads, and occupancy sensors placed where the day actually flows — not just where the old switch box happened to be.
Scene Programming — Morning. Daytime. Cooking. Dinner. Movie. Entertain. Goodnight. Each scene tuned to your routines, your taste, and the light Fort Worth happens to have at that hour.
Walkthrough & Training — A real walk-through with the family — keypads, app, voice commands, and the small art of adjusting a scene as your taste changes.
Who We Help in Fort Worth
- You live in Westover Hills and the western sun has been winning every afternoon — you want the house to start fighting back
- You own a Rivercrest estate and the original fixtures are non-negotiable, but the dimming has to start working
- You are building in Clearfork or Montserrat and you want Savant Lighting in before the drywall
- You have multi-acre Mira Vista grounds and the landscape lights need a real plan, not a row of timers
- You are an interior designer or architect and you want a lighting partner who understands the project as a piece of work, not a punch list
The Frustrations We Hear Most
- Rooms with on-off only and no in-between, forcing you to choose between glaring and dark
- Landscape lights running on a dusk-to-dawn photocell with no zones, no dimming, and no sense of season
- Smart bulbs from four brands and four apps that have never once worked in concert
- A Savant system installed by someone else and never actually programmed
The Questions People Actually Ask.
Can Savant live behind the original fixtures in my Rivercrest home?
Yes. The Savant module sits in the panel or behind the wall plate, and your decorative fixtures, sconces, and chandeliers stay exactly as they are. For Rivercrest homes with hardware no one is making anymore, we use wall-box dimmers that fit behind the original cover plates. The house keeps its face. The light learns new tricks.
Is Savant tunable LED worth it?
If you spend evenings at home, yes. Savant tunable LED runs the full spectrum from 1800K candlelight to 5000K daylight at over 95 CRI, which means colors look the way they do in real life — not the slightly green way they look under most LEDs. The fixtures shift through the day on their own to support how your eyes and your sleep actually work. For Westover Hills and Mira Vista clients who care about how a room feels, the difference is something you notice the first evening.
How does landscape lighting actually work on a Mira Vista lot?
We split the property into zones — driveway approach, front facade, garden paths, pool deck, back perimeter — and each one gets its own program. An astronomical clock follows the actual sunset through the year so nothing ever runs at the wrong hour. After midnight the system eases the output down to thirty percent for the rest of the night. Mira Vista and Montserrat properties usually land at eight to twelve zones.
Will lighting control move the electricity bill?
A light dimmed to 75 percent is using roughly 20 percent less, and most homes never run every fixture at full once they have scenes. Add occupancy and vacancy sensors to bathrooms, closets, and utility rooms, and the savings keep compounding. Automated landscape schedules and a house that quietly turns off the lights you forgot — across a year, on a large Fort Worth home, the bill notices.
