Luxury Lighting Design & Control in Georgia, Florida & Alabama

Walk into a room at dusk, and the light is already right. Warm where you relax and bright where you work. That is what thoughtful lighting design feels like, and it is the work GHT Group has done for homeowners across Georgia, Florida, and Alabama since 1989. Our two in-house lighting designers plan every layer of light with you. From there, one team carries the project through fixtures and whole-home lighting control, so nothing gets lost between trades. As a Lutron Sapphire Dealer, we bring you the top tier of Lutron and Ketra lighting. You can see it for yourself in our Lutron Experience Centers in Atlanta and Santa Rosa Beach. After roughly 25,000 installations, we know how light should behave in a luxury home. Tie your lighting into shades and climate, then run it all from a keypad or your voice. Our dedicated service team stays with you long after the last fixture goes in.

Lighting Design Services

A beautiful home depends on light as much as on color palettes and furniture. The right plan draws the eye to architectural features and lets high-end furnishings and finishes show their true character. Good interior lighting also shapes how you live day to day. It lifts your mood, supports smart security that protects your property, and makes everyday tasks easier. We partner closely with the design community. Our team is active in ASID and hosts Lunch & Learns. We also work hand in hand with architects, interior designers, and custom builders, so the lighting supports their vision instead of competing with it. Bring in a professional to shape your design and whole home lighting control for a luxurious residence in Georgia, Florida, or Alabama.

Why work with an in-house lighting designer?

Many homeowners have always left lighting to their electrician or interior designer. When lighting is someone's second job, though, it tends to become an afterthought. GHT keeps two dedicated lighting designers on staff. They don't sell. They sit down with you and your architect, builder, or designer, then produce the plans that guide the whole project, including renderings, CAD drawings, and photometrics (studies that map how light will fall across each room). Because the same company handles design, fixtures, and control, you get one accountable team instead of three separate hand-offs.

Essential Layers of Light

A one-tone lighting design leaves you with strained eyes and rooms that feel rigid. Layering light fixes that. Our designers blend three types of light so every space feels balanced and adapts to the moment.

Ambient Light

Soft, even light fills the whole room, drawn from natural sunlight, recessed ceiling fixtures or pendants.

Task Lighting

Pendant, desk or under-cabinet lights give you bright, focused illumination right where you need it.

Accent Lighting

Light roughly three times brighter than your ambient fixtures draws attention to art, photos and architectural details.

  • Daytime

    Stay on your workday schedule with a Daytime lighting scene that turns on automatically at 9 am. By the time you reach your home office, bright white-blue ambient lights and desk lamps are ready to help you focus.

  • Bedtime

    Get ready for restful sleep with a Bedtime scene you start from a bedside remote or tablet. The lights dim gradually and shift to a warm orange hue that helps your body relax.

  • Entertaining

    Host in style with a Party scene that sets the kitchen and living room to a white-blue hue that keeps guests lively all night. Add landscape lighting to the scene and your guests will drift out to enjoy your outdoor spaces.

  • Movie Night

    Turn your home theater into the perfect viewing room with a Movie Night scene on your remote or touchpad. Recessed lights and decorative sconces dim while floor track lighting comes on, so everyone can move around safely during the film. We fine-tune every scene with you at handoff and adjust it anytime your routine changes.

Architectural Fixtures

Layered lighting works best when you use a wide range of fixtures instead of relying on canned ceiling lights alone. Our lighting designers blend high-end pendants with downlights and track lights to create even, layered light that adds depth and beauty to your home while supporting your everyday tasks. You can see and compare many of these fixtures in person at our Experience Centers. Explore the role each type plays in your space.

Linear Pendants

Design-Forward Lighting
Pendant lights come in a wide range of colors and finishes, adding a spark to your décor while handling ambient or task lighting. Hang them from the ceiling or from a track system to give your interior design an elegant focal point.

Downlights

Illumination without Clutter
Downlights mainly provide ambient light, though they can also serve as task or accent lighting. They mount recessed or flush in the ceiling, with round or square trims to match your décor.

Landscape Lighting

Show Off Your Beautiful Home and Landscaping After Dark
Outdoor fixtures made for gardens and patios bring a plain exterior to life after dark. Automatic lights switch on at sunset and off at sunrise, so you never have to think about them. Quality landscape lighting also adds value to your home when it comes time to sell.

Track lighting

Bright, Versatile Spotlights
Track lighting gives you a flexible answer for accent and task lighting. Adjustable spotlights on a track or rail can showcase artwork or light up cabinets. Straight, round, and curved track options widen your style choices.

Lighting Control

Effortless whole home lighting control lets your lighting design reach its full potential. A lighting control system manages every fixture in your home, building beautiful layers while keeping a consistent feel from room to room. A centralized approach gives you intuitive, tailor-made control from the devices you already use. It also means a cleaner installation and clutter-free walls in your Georgia, Florida or Alabama home. Because GHT designs the lighting too, the controls are planned alongside the fixtures from day one. That holds true even when another electrician is already on your job site.

Interfaces

High-end lighting control systems give you personalized interfaces on dedicated touchpads or mobile apps. Simple graphic menus show which lights are on in each room, and one tap changes them. Adjust brightness and color temperature for single fixtures or whole groups. Then save your favorite settings and bring them back whenever you like.

Processor

The processor is the heart of your lighting control system. It carries every command between your control devices and your fixtures. A high-end processor keeps that communication clear and lag-free, so the moment you press a button, from any device, the lights respond instantly and accurately. During the design stage, our lighting experts choose the model that fits your home based on its bandwidth and processing power.

Dimming Panels

Centralized control through dimmer panels is what sets a professional lighting control system apart. All dimming and control runs through these panels, which sit out of sight in an equipment room or utility closet. The result is less clutter on your walls and less wiring behind them. Dimmer panels also allow more advanced programming, reduce the need for power boosters and can control fans and motors too.

Smart Dimmers/Switches

Clear the wall even further with smart dimmers and switches that handle complex commands and scenes. One elegant keypad replaces a whole bank of switches and dimmers, giving you instant access to scenes and control of lights throughout the house. Each keypad combines dimming and switching in one sleek housing. Choose flush-mounted designs in finishes such as Palladium, Elise and Brass, then see them in person at your nearest GHT Experience Center before you decide.

Lighting FAQ

GHT handles your home's entire lighting story. That includes architectural lighting design, high-end fixture specification, smart lighting control and landscape lighting. We plan everything as one cohesive system, so every room and every control feels intentional and unified.

When lighting is treated as an add-on, rooms often end up flat or harsh. Our two in-house lighting designers focus on optics, color, codes and aesthetics. The result is a home that looks beautiful, works better and often costs less thanks to smarter design and specification. If you already have an electrician, we can still own the design and control scope and coordinate with them on site.

Thoughtful lighting brings out your architecture and finishes while cutting glare and eye strain. GHT's designs balance beauty with practicality, so your spaces feel warm and welcoming day and night.

Effective lighting combines three layers:

  • Ambient lighting for overall illumination
  • Task lighting for work surfaces and reading areas
  • Accent lighting to highlight art and architecture

Together, these layers create flexible scenes and prevent harsh, one-note lighting.

Color temperature describes how warm or cool a light looks. Warm tones from 1,700K to 2,700K feel relaxing. Neutral whites around 3,000K suit living spaces, while cooler whites from 4,000K to 5,000K support kitchens and work areas. With tunable lighting, your home can shift through these tones as the day goes on.

Designs may include pendants, downlights, track lighting, and specialty fixtures indoors, plus purpose-built landscape fixtures outdoors. We choose each fixture for its performance, its look, and its support for your overall lighting layers.
