Integrated Technology

Stone with light built in, glowing from within

Integrated lighting turns stone into a light source. Low-voltage LED systems are engineered into the stone assembly for backlit panels, lit edges and floating architectural effects on walls, bars and counters.

It works only when the material, the lighting and the fabrication are planned together from the start.

Scope of work

What Your Integrated Lighting Project Includes

  • L-shaped stone bar lit purple from within

    Backlit panels

    Translucent stone and porcelain panels lit from behind for walls, bars and feature surfaces.

  • Stone countertop edge lit blue with a glowing base

    Edge illumination

    Light carried along a stone edge to define the form of a counter, shelf or island.

  • Stone vanity with veins lit blue from underneath

    Fabrication for light

    Routing, diffusion and heat management are planned in fabrication so the glow is even and the stone is protected.

  • LED strips being installed behind a veined stone slab

    Digital templating

    Your space and any openings for drivers or access are captured digitally before stone is cut.

Step by step

How Your Integrated Lighting Project Is Planned and Installed

Define the effect

We talk through where light should appear and what it should feel like, then match a suitable stone.

Plan ahead

What to Consider Before Planning Integrated Lighting

Backlighting depends on translucent materials, so the stone choice is made together with the lighting.

LEDs need thermal control and service access, which are designed in rather than added later.

Power supplies and wiring must be planned with your electrician before templating.

Questions

Integrated Lighting: Your Questions Answered

Backlit wall panels, bar fronts, counter edges and floating details are common. The effect depends on the stone you choose.

Translucent porcelain, onyx and some quartz can transmit light. We will check your slab against the effect you want.

Yes. These systems use low-voltage LEDs, with power supplies planned and connected by your electrician.

They should be. We plan access into the assembly so drivers and LEDs can be reached without damaging the stone.

Yes. It suits kitchens, bars, vanities and feature walls, anywhere you want the stone itself to glow.
