For this doctor’s office transformation, Loxone Partner Smart Home Solutions went all out in the areas of lighting control, especially utilizing special programming and customization of LED Strips to leave a lasting impression. With cosmetic surgery as the client’s specialty, transformation is the motive here. This project shows how a Loxone solution can be as simple or extensive as it needs to be, depending on the client’s needs.

Problem:

What unique needs were presented by the client?

Jameel: The most unique need presented by my client on this project was a lighting system that is customizable, controlled remotely from his phone and could be zoned off by room while still having the ability to set scenes for the entire building. Highlighting a replica Thor hammer with special lighting effects was a centerpiece to this project. This level of customization is what my client was most excited about.

Jameel: They came to me for something new. From our first conversation, I knew he was thinking outside the box – that’s my kind of client. I always explain the flexibility of the Loxone system to my clients, and this was the perfect chance to show it.

Our tip: In the future, if the client decides to expand, the technology installed is flexible enough to add on new features and systems – security with the Alarm Siren, IR controller for TVs and more.

Jameel: We used crown molding LED channels to create custom light fixtures that ended up working like wall-washers. setting each wall on a different RGBW Dimmer. This made for some cool effects at the front desk, waiting room, and the other areas.

I’ve been a fan of led lighting on crown molding for a long time. Traditionally you see it up high. Since this was a commercial building, the ceilings were so high that the light wouldn’t have made an impact, so we decided to use them creatively. We created fixtures mid-wall and running down the baseboards facing the ground. I think the end result was worth it, you always see these projects in your head first and the struggle is creating it on-site. So when it happens just how you imagined it’s so special.

Jameel: When it came to the Thor hammer, I immediately thought “how can we make lightning?”. That was followed by a call to Benjamin from the Loxone technical support team, and the rest is history. The lightning effect was the icing on the cake.
