Does smart lighting needs a full renovation?

In simple answer – No!  Control4’s retrofit lighting range is perfect for existing homes across the UK – whether you’re in a modern townhouse or a period cottage.

Without lifting floorboards or chasing wires, we can replace your existing light switches with Control4 smart keypads. These allow:

  • One-touch lighting scenes (like “Morning”, “Relax”, or “All Off”).

  • Timed events and automatic lighting at sunset.

  • Voice and app control when you need it.
What is retrofit smart lighting?

Instead of traditional switches, we replace them with elegant Control4 smart keypads. These fit into your existing wall boxes and control the lighting in more intelligent ways:

  • Tap once for “Evening Mode” (e.g. dimmed lounge lighting, soft hallway glow).
  • Tap again for “All Off” as you head to bed.
  • Press “Cooking” to brighten the kitchen when you’re preparing dinner.

The same switch that used to control one light now controls an entire scene — all customised to your lifestyle.

Already have centralised lighting? Add more, seamlessly.

Many homes already have centralised Control4 lighting for the main areas — often installed during a renovation or new build. But what about the parts of the house that weren’t included at the time?

That’s where retrofit lighting comes in. You can:

  • Add smart lighting to bedrooms, lofts, extensions, or outbuildings.
  • Tie everything together into the same Control4 system.
  • Enjoy the same smart lighting experience throughout your home, even if some of it was installed years ago.

There’s no need to match the installation style – retrofit and centralised lighting work together effortlessly through the same interface and app.
