Smart Lighting Systems · Nashville & Middle TN
Create the perfect Nashville outdoor atmosphere with effortless control of ambience, color, scenes, and timing for quiet evenings, entertaining, and celebrations.
What We Do
A smart lighting system is app-based control of an outdoor lighting system, with scenes, zones, and astronomical scheduling that tracks sunset. Light TN designs smart lighting systems across Nashville and Middle Tennessee, integrating with Lutron, Control4, Crestron, and Savant so a layered design comes up warm at dusk on its own and shifts between settings without anyone touching a switch.
Light TN is a family-owned landscape lighting designer in Burns, Tennessee that treats control as the tool that makes layered lighting livable. The studio integrates outdoor lighting with the major control platforms, programmed and installed to licensed contractor CE-D: 76580 standards, across 500+ Middle Tennessee projects since 2020.
The Craft
The lighting comes up warm at dusk and shifts by scene without switches to remember — an arrival scene, an entertaining scene, a late-evening scene, each moving the whole property with one tap.
Control keeps a layered system balanced — warm color, even zones, design intent intact. Outdoor lighting and audio sit on the same platform as the rest of the home, so a scene can bring up both light and music for a space at once.
What a System Includes
Scene programming — arrival, entertaining, and late-evening scenes, each shifting the whole property with one tap.
Astronomical scheduling — lighting that comes up at dusk and dims later, adjusting through the year as sunset shifts.
Zone control — independent zones so the facade, landscape, and outdoor rooms can be balanced and changed separately.
Platform integration — integration with Lutron, Control4, Crestron, and Savant so outdoor joins the home's existing control.
Audio tie-in — outdoor audio on the same platform, so a scene brings up both light and music.
Full app control — change scenes, dim zones, or turn the system on and off from your phone, in addition to the schedule.
Why It Matters
Light TN programs control to serve the lighting design, not as a gadget pitch. A layered system only stays coherent if it can be balanced and changed as one — warm color held steady, zones kept even, design intent intact every night without anyone adjusting a switch.
It runs on the platforms a home already trusts. Light TN integrates outdoor lighting with Lutron, Control4, Crestron, and Savant — built for whole-home reliability — so the outdoor system joins the same control the home uses rather than living in a separate app, and lighting, audio, and control are designed together by one studio.

FAQ
Light TN defines a smart lighting system as app-based control of an outdoor lighting system, with scenes, zones, and astronomical scheduling that tracks sunset. It lets a layered design come up warm at dusk on its own and shift between settings without manual switches.
Light TN designs and installs smart outdoor lighting in Nashville with zones, scenes, app control, and integration for systems such as Lutron, Control4, Crestron, and Savant. The control plan is built into the lighting design before installation, so the property works as one system after dark.
Light TN integrates outdoor lighting with Lutron, Control4, Crestron, and Savant, so the outdoor system joins the same control platform the home already uses rather than living in a separate app.
Light TN uses astronomical scheduling to bring lighting up at dusk and down later automatically, adjusting through the year as sunset times shift, so there are no timers to reset and no wasted overnight runtime.
Light TN sets up smart lighting for full app control, so you can change scenes, dim zones, or turn the system on and off from your phone, in addition to the automatic schedule.
Light TN finds smart control reduces waste by running the system only when needed and dimming late, on top of the efficiency of LED, which the U.S. Department of Energy notes uses roughly 75% less energy than incandescent.
Light TN designs outdoor audio alongside smart lighting on the same control platform, so a scene can bring up both the lighting and the music for a space at once.
Light TN specifies professional control platforms — Lutron, Control4, Crestron, Savant — built for whole-home reliability, and backs installation with a one-year workmanship warranty, so the system runs on its own without constant attention.
Light TN prices smart control by the size of the system and the platform chosen, quoted after an on-site design. Projects over $10,000 carry a 15% deposit, smaller projects require none, and the consultation is free.
Light TN programs the control system with your property's exact coordinates, so it calculates true sunset and sunrise for that specific location instead of a generic time. The schedule shifts automatically as those times move earlier or later through the year, so the lighting comes up at real dusk, not a fixed clock time.
Light TN configures astronomical schedules to run off sunset and sunrise, not a clock time, so there's no manual reset for daylight saving time or the changing seasons. The system tracks the shift on its own and keeps the lighting synced to dusk year round.
Light TN stores your lighting schedule on the local controller, not in the cloud, so an internet or WiFi outage doesn't stop the lights from running their normal program. What pauses is remote app control and scene changes from your phone, and those return once the connection is back.
Light TN builds systems with zone-based control, so path lights, uplights, and accent zones can each run on their own schedule instead of one setting for the whole yard. A homeowner might run the front path lights later for security while dimming the back patio earlier in the evening.
Light TN designs landscape lighting to join broader Control4 and Savant scenes, so one scene can bring up the lighting alongside a pool, sprinklers, or security system instead of each running separately. Whether a specific integration is available depends on what's already installed at the property, which Daryl reviews during the on-site consultation.
Light TN designs the outdoor system around what's already in the home, so existing indoor Lutron control is assessed during the on-site consultation to determine how outdoor lighting joins it. Daryl handles that evaluation himself as part of every design.
Light TN designs smart lighting on established platforms like Control4, Lutron, and Savant, which are built with network security in mind, rather than unmanaged consumer smart plugs. Daryl configures every system properly as part of the install, so it's set up correctly from the start instead of left as an open device on your network.
