Modern lighting projects rarely start with a blank slate. Some demand centralized, architectural-grade control. Others require premium experiences delivered through existing infrastructure. Still others call for accelerated timelines, simplified controls, and compelling value—without sacrificing design.

GE Proseo Lighting is built for all of it.

In this session, we move beyond product overviews and into real-world application, showing how GE Proseo Lighting delivers consistent, high-quality lighting experiences across a wide range of residential projects. Through three archetypal examples—estate-level new construction, luxury retrofit, and elevated entry-level deployments—you’ll see how experience, infrastructure, and system architecture come together in practice.

Each example illustrates how GE Proseo Connected, Wireless, and Flex solutions are selected and deployed to match the needs of the home—while maintaining a common design language and user experience powered by the Savant platform.

You’ll explore how lighting is planned, implemented, and personalized through practical deployment scenarios, including:

            •          Designing experience-first lighting using scenes, daylight-responsive behavior, and intentional default color temperatures

            •          Using TrueImage to visualize lighting behavior and elevate the homeowner experience

            •          Simplifying control and usability with light banks and intuitive room layouts

            •          Delivering tunable and dynamic lighting through smart fixture–ready designs

            •          Empowering homeowners with flexible scene control at keypads—without locking them into static programming

The session also highlights how GE Proseo Lighting can be deployed as a lighting-first solution, from simplified projects using in-wall host capabilities to the most demanding residences supported by Savant’s scalable architecture.
