Savant Lighting
Precision Architectural Lighting — Native Savant Control with Zero-Compromise Integration
Request System DesignOverview
Savant Lighting is the only architectural lighting system designed natively for the Savant automation platform. Unlike third-party lighting products that require middleware, drivers, or protocol bridges, Savant Lighting communicates directly with Savant processors — delivering zero-lag dimming, instant scene recall, and deep integration that third-party solutions cannot match.
The Metropolitan keypad family sets the aesthetic standard in architectural lighting control. Available in over 100 finish combinations, these keypads complement interior design rather than compromising it. Behind the wall, Savant nano dimmers, switches, and relay modules provide the control infrastructure — compact enough to fit existing junction boxes during renovation projects.
At Peters Audio Video, Savant Lighting is our primary specification for estates running Savant automation. The native integration eliminates the complexity, latency, and failure points that come with bridging separate lighting and automation platforms — delivering the most seamless lighting experience available.

Metropolitan Keypads
Architectural keypads in 100+ finishes with up to 8 buttons, LED indicators, and engraved or backlit legends. The design centerpiece of Savant lighting control.
Nano Dimmers & Switches
Compact in-wall dimmers and switches that fit standard junction boxes — forward-phase, reverse-phase, and 0-10V dimming for any load type.
Tunable White Fixtures
LED fixtures with adjustable color temperature from 2200K warm to 5000K daylight — controlled natively through Savant Daylight Mode.
Relay Modules & Panels
High-capacity switching for landscape lighting, utility loads, and motorized systems — managed through the Savant platform.
Smart Home Integration
Savant Lighting & Whole-Home Automation
Native Savant protocol — no drivers, no bridges, no middleware. Lighting and automation share a single processing architecture.

Architectural Keypad Design
Metropolitan keypads in custom finishes become design elements — coordinating with hardware, plumbing fixtures, and interior palettes.
Specification Review
Choosing Savant Lighting for Your Home
Compare the specific equipment proposed for your rooms, not the brand name alone. Savant Lighting families discussed on this page include Metropolitan Keypads, Nano Dimmers & Switches, Tunable White Fixtures, Relay Modules & Panels. Availability, model specifications, firmware and third-party integration support need confirmation before a final design.
- Room fit: Request a model-level schedule showing where each component will be used, its mounting and power requirements, and any architectural compromises.
- Integration evidence: Identify the supported connection or driver for each required function. Separate physical compatibility from actual command support and test behavior when internet access is unavailable.
- Complete scope: Compare equipment, infrastructure, configuration, commissioning and documentation together. Confirm subscriptions, licenses, warranty terms and ongoing support separately in the proposal.
Useful project details: Fixture and circuit schedules, reflected ceiling plans, desired scenes and keypad finish preferences.

How We Install Savant Lighting
Discovery & Design
Every Savant Lighting installation begins with a comprehensive consultation. We evaluate your home's architecture, existing infrastructure, and lifestyle needs to develop a detailed system proposal with room-by-room specifications and control interface design.
Architectural Coordination
For new builds and renovations, our team coordinates directly with architects and builders during the design phase — ensuring Savant Lighting infrastructure (conduit runs, power, equipment closets) is properly planned before walls close.
Professional Installation
Installation requirements depend on the selected Savant Lighting equipment: mounting, cabling, ventilation, power and configuration are coordinated with the project scope. Documentation records the installed components and relevant connections.
Calibration & Commissioning
After installation, we verify the specified Savant Lighting functions and system connections. Applicable audio, video or control settings are commissioned for the room, with owner orientation and documentation appropriate to the equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Savant Lighting cost?
Metropolitan keypads range $300-$800 each. Nano dimmers range $150-$400. Whole-home Savant lighting for a 5,000 sq ft estate typically ranges $25,000-$75,000 including fixtures and programming.
Savant Lighting vs Lutron?
Savant Lighting integrates natively with Savant automation — zero middleware. Lutron requires a bridge and driver integration. For Savant-based estates, Savant Lighting delivers superior integration. Lutron excels in standalone or multi-platform installations.
Can I retrofit Savant Lighting?
Yes. Nano dimmers fit standard junction boxes and replace existing switches without rewiring — making Savant Lighting practical for renovations.
What is Daylight Mode?
Savant's circadian lighting feature that automatically adjusts color temperature throughout the day — warm tones morning and evening, cooler tones midday — supporting natural sleep-wake cycles.
