Lighting Control & Shading · Jersey & the Channel Islands
Light that follows the day
Beautiful light in every room, at every hour, and shades that move with the sun, on their own.
Lighting is the single change people feel most. Halo designs and installs lighting control and automated shading for homes across Jersey, replacing banks of switches with elegant keypads and scenes that flatter the architecture and follow the day: warm and low in the evening, bright and clean for the morning. Blinds and curtains move with the sun to protect your rooms and your privacy, without a thought from you.
01
Scenes, not switches
A wall of six switches, none of them labelled, all of them guesswork. Replace it with one keypad with three engraved buttons: ‘Natural’, ‘Sanctuary’, ‘Entertain’. Each one sets every light in the room to a level someone thought about. The room gets quieter to look at, and easier to use.
02
Light that follows the day
Cool and bright through the morning so the kitchen feels awake. Warm and low by nine so the house starts winding down with you. The lighting tracks the daylight outside and shifts colour temperature through the day on its own. You'll feel it long before you notice it happening.
03
Shades that move before you've thought about it
The blinds drop on the south side as the afternoon sun comes round, so the room stays cool and the rug doesn't fade. They close at dusk on the windows facing the lane. Quiet, unhurried, and precisely level with each other across a run of windows, which is the part you only notice when it's done badly.
04
Hidden until it isn't
Shades can be set into a recessed ceiling pocket so they disappear completely when they're up, leaving the window and the view entirely clean. It's the best-looking option by some distance, but the pocket has to be framed during the build, so it needs deciding early with your builder. Where that moment has passed, slim metal fascia in a finish that matches the room does the same job neatly.
The switch plate
Keypad styles
One tidy plate replaces the bank of unlabelled switches, in a finish and engraving chosen for the room. From hand-finished statement plates to clean, well-priced control, they all recall the same considered scenes.
Metal finishes
Precise, minimalist plates with soft backlighting, in a range of metal finishes chosen to sit with the room's ironmongery.
Wireless, anywhere
A slim wireless control that sits on a nightstand, clips beside a bed or travels with you: scenes without running a single cable.
The shading
Shades, and how they're dressed
Automated blinds and curtains in hundreds of fabrics, sampled against your own room and, where the build allows, hidden completely.
Fabrics & opacities
From sheer weaves that soften the light to blackouts for the bedrooms: hundreds of designer fabrics, tried against your walls before you commit.
Recessed & hidden
Set into a ceiling pocket so the shade disappears when it's up, leaving the window and the view completely clean. Framed during the build, so decided early.
Neat on show
Where a pocket isn't possible, slim fascia in a finish that matches the room keeps the run tidy and deliberate, and precisely level across the windows.
In plain terms
What a lighting project covers
- Lighting design planned with you, your architect or your interior designer
- Scene programming, tuned on site once the furniture is in
- Keypads in a finish and engraving chosen to suit the room
- Dimming that suits your fittings, without flicker or buzz
- Daylight-tracking and circadian colour temperature
- Motorised blinds, shades and curtains
- Fabric, hardware and finish selection
- Upgrades and servicing of existing Lutron systems
The hardware, for those who want it
Which range suits you depends on the house, the finish you're after and how much you want it to do. We'll narrow it down in conversation. This is just what the ranges are.
- Lutron Alisse
- Hand-finished buttons and premium materials. The most tactile keypad Lutron make, for rooms where the switch plate is part of the interior design.
- Lutron Palladiom
- Precision-engineered, minimalist, with flush buttons and soft backlighting. A range of luxurious finishes. Also available as a matching shading system.
- Lutron RA3 and RA2 Select
- Flexible, well-priced control for whole homes. Responsive buttons, clear labelling, and the same scene recall. A sensible choice where the budget is better spent on the light itself than the plate.
- Lutron Sivoia shading
- Quiet, precise automated shades in a wide range of fabrics and finishes, integrated with the lighting so light and shade are controlled together.
- Crestron shading
- Motorised shades and drapery with hundreds of designer fabrics, plus the recessed-pocket and custom fascia options above. The natural choice where the rest of the house is already on Crestron.

Questions people ask
In almost all cases, yes. Halo designs the lighting control around the fittings and dimming you've chosen, rather than making you choose fittings to suit the system.
Yes. A renovation or new build is the ideal moment to install lighting control, because the wiring is accessible, but Halo fits retrofit options in finished Jersey homes too.
Let's talk about the light.
Best caught early. A conversation before first fix saves rework later, and finished homes have options too.
