Lighting control in Naples
A Naples evening usually moves from the kitchen to the lanai to the pool, and good lighting control follows you there with one tap instead of a wall of switches. It also gives an empty house a lived-in look during hurricane season while you are away. We introduce vetted, licensed installers and stay with you until you're confident.
- Licensed Florida contractors only, checked on the state lookup
- Savant, Control4, Crestron and Lutron specialists
- Up north for the season? We start by phone or video
Licensed only
Every installer's state license, checked on the state's own lookup before any introduction.
Independent
We don't install or sell equipment, so there is no brand to push.
Never sold
Your details go only to the installers you choose to meet. Never to a list.
Free to you
Installers pay us only when a project goes ahead. You never pay us anything.
One system for every light in your home
Lighting control replaces individual switches with keypads, dimmers and a central system that lets you set and recall scenes, such as 'dinner,' 'movie' or 'away,' across every room at once. Instead of walking through the house flipping switches, one keypad by the front door or one tap on an app can bring the whole home to the right light level. Systems can also follow a schedule tied to sunrise and sunset, or hand off control to voice assistants and remotes.
Many luxury homes pair Lutron's lighting hardware, known for its reliability, with a whole-home platform such as Savant or Control4 for unified control alongside audio, shades and climate. Lutron's premium residential lighting and shading platform, HomeWorks QSX, is sold on its own for lighting and shading only; when it's built into a full whole-home automation system instead, the lighting is bundled into that larger project cost rather than priced separately.
What it usually includes
- Keypads and dimmers throughout the home, replacing standard switches
- Preset scenes you can recall with one tap
- Scheduling tied to sunrise, sunset or your routine
- Tunable-white or color-changing fixtures where you want them
- Integration with shades, audio and security
- App and voice control
- Professional programming as part of a whole-home system
What it costs
One luxury installer's pricing guide puts whole-home lighting control at $15,000 to $75,000 or more, with a 5,000-square-foot home carrying 20 to 40 keypads typically landing between $30,000 and $60,000. The same guide puts Lutron's premium HomeWorks QSX platform at $20,000 to $100,000-plus for lighting and shading alone.

Indoor-outdoor entertaining
Homes in Port Royal and along the canals are built for entertaining that moves between the great room, the lanai and the dock. A single "Entertain" scene can set the lights, shades and music for all three at once, so the evening does not stall while someone hunts for the pool light switch.
New golf-community construction
Grey Oaks and Quail West see a steady stream of new golf-course construction, and lighting control wiring is far cheaper to run before drywall goes up than after. Bringing an installer in at the framing stage means keypads, low-voltage wiring and fixture locations are all set before walls close, with nothing to patch, repaint or re-trim afterward.
A lived-in look while you're away
Owners who split the year, common in Pelican Bay and The Moorings, can set lights on a realistic schedule instead of leaving the house dark for months. Scenes can also shift for hurricane season, so the house looks occupied and stays lit through an outage with the right backup power in place.
Check any installer's license yourself
In Florida, low-voltage and electrical work needs a state license from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Look for one of these on the installer's paperwork:
Common questions
Straight answers to what owners ask us most.
Can lighting scenes make an empty Naples home look occupied?
Yes. Most systems let you set a realistic on-and-off schedule for a house you are not living in, which is common for seasonal owners in Naples. It runs on its own until you're back.
Is lighting control worth it for a new build in Grey Oaks or Quail West?
Usually, yes, if the wiring goes in during construction. Running low-voltage wiring before drywall is far cheaper than retrofitting it later, so bring an installer in at the framing stage.
Does lighting control still work during a power outage?
With the network and controller on backup power, yes, for as long as the backup lasts. Ask your installer about battery or generator backup for the parts of the system you want to keep running.
Do I need whole-home lighting control, or are smart bulbs enough?
Smart bulbs and switches are a low-cost starting point. Fixr's data puts smart bulbs at $10 to $40 each and switches at $25 to $150 each before installation, and a basic package of bulbs, switches and lamps runs $1,900 to $4,900 installed. Whole-home lighting control goes further, tying every room into one system with keypads, scenes and scheduling, which is why it costs more.
Who installs and programs lighting control?
Lighting control is usually installed and programmed by a licensed low-voltage or smart-home integrator rather than a general electrician, since the keypads, scenes and scheduling need to be configured room by room. See our guide to choosing a smart home installer for what to ask before you hire one.
