Tips From The Top

At Jackson Hole A/V, our team excels at working with clients to make sure their home’s interior and exterior lighting create the perfect environment just for them. Our team brings expertise and experience to design and install the ideal lighting system for your specific tastes. We prioritize lighting with our smart home automation platform Savant. We’re longtime fans of Lutron for its innovative design, quality, and technology.

To best serve our clients, we’re always looking at the trends and new lighting innovations. We’re especially interested lately about what’s happening with lighting fixtures and the materials to make them.

A trend we’re seeing here in Wyoming—and is growing in popularity nationwide—is how the light fixtures themselves are becoming as important as the quality of lighting. “Statement fixtures,” like oversized pendants or minimalistic installations, draw the eye to a visual anchor in the space. These lighting installations are personal and unique for our clients’ specifications and the purpose of the environment, both inside and outside their homes.

We’re also seeing more variety in the materials available for lighting fixtures—everything from organic or natural fibers to recycled materials to glass. These choices reflect on our client’s tastes as well as their values, and it’s always a top goal of ours to make sure our recommendations and installations suit both priorities.

With today’s technology, we can customize scenes using colors, brightness, and the day’s natural lighting cycle to best support the comfort and health of your home life. This means creating the ideal lighting for your morning routine, afternoon work meeting, dinner with family and friends, and wind-down time. You can set it and go, or change it at will. All of this is done using intuitive apps or voice-control that simplify the process and raise the bar for quality.

Another trend we’re seeing is the use of “layered lighting” within a space. We integrate a variety of lighting options and sources, as well as color, brightness, and intensity, to create endless possibilities to best support the use and mood of the space and its many different functions. That family room today can be used for playing games, watching movies, reading, eating, talking—or maybe everything at once. And the lighting scheme can support that, whether it’s a focused movie everyone enjoys together, or many activities happening at once.

And all this can be done with less energy and more resilient materials than ever before.

We have the in-house experts to design the ultimate lighting plans and fixtures, we are always happy to work with our client’s interior designer and architect (especially early in the process) to make sure the smart lighting system integrates seamlessly into their overall design aesthetic.
