Architectural & Intelligent Lighting

Lighting that adapts to the way a space is used.

Opulent AV designs and integrates advanced DALI and DMX lighting systems across Sydney for residential and commercial environments — from tunable white and circadian lighting through to full-colour architectural and feature lighting.

Lighting Control

More than dimming.

A well-designed lighting system can manage brightness, colour temperature, scenes, schedules, occupancy and full-colour effects while remaining simple for the end user.

01

Scene Control

One command can coordinate multiple lighting zones for dining, entertaining, cinema, learning, cleaning or after-hours use.

02

Tunable White

Colour temperature can shift from warm to cool light based on time of day, task or selected preset.

03

Full Colour

DMX allows RGB, RGBW and other multi-channel fixtures to become part of architectural and feature-lighting scenes.

04

Schedules & Logic

Lighting can respond automatically to time, occupancy, security state, user scenes and other integrated systems.

05

Control4 Integration

DALI and DMX lighting can be presented as part of the same Control4 experience used for AV, climate, security and more.

06

Residential & Commercial

The same principles can be applied across homes, hospitality, childcare, workplaces and other integrated environments.

Architectural lighting

DALI & DALI DT8

DALI is well suited to architectural lighting systems where individual luminaires, groups and scenes need reliable digital control. DALI DT8 extends this capability into tunable-white and colour-temperature applications.

DMX Lighting

DMX is ideal where a project needs dynamic lighting, colour mixing and more complex multi-channel fixtures. Opulent can integrate these fixtures into wider automation so users are not forced into a separate lighting-control experience.

Circadian & Tunable White

Lighting that changes through the day.

Tunable-white lighting can be programmed to move through different colour temperatures over the course of the day or switch instantly to task-specific presets.

The exact lighting schedule should be designed around the intended use of the space rather than applying a generic profile to every project.

MiddayBright neutralHigher-output task lighting.
AfternoonCool focusSelectable settings for activity and concentration.
EveningWarmer finishReduced intensity and warmer colour temperature.
Integrated Lighting Logic

The lighting system can respond to the rest of the building.

When lighting is integrated with Control4 and other systems, scenes and automation can extend well beyond a wall switch.

SecurityArm the building → change lighting stateSelected lighting zones can switch off, remain on for safety or move into an after-hours state when the security system is armed.
AVStart cinema → set the lighting sceneLights can dim or transition automatically as the entertainment system changes state.

DMXFeature lighting joins the same sceneFull-colour architectural lighting can be triggered with the same user command as AV, blinds and environmental systems.
Current Project Example

Circadian lighting designed for a childcare environment.

For a current large childcare-centre project, Opulent has designed a DALI CCT tunable-white lighting system that can change colour temperature throughout the day and provide selectable presets for different learning environments.

The lighting system is part of a wider integrated design that includes Control4, HVAC and ICT Protege security, including automated centre shutdown when the security system is armed.
