Rako Controls Scene-Set Lighting
Intelligent architectural lighting control designed to transform atmosphere, enhance design, and simplify daily living.
Atmosphere at the Touch of a Button
Lighting shapes how a space looks, feels, and functions. Traditional light switches force you to adjust circuits individually, making it cumbersome to achieve the right mood. With Rako intelligent scene-set lighting, you gain total control over your home or commercial space's aesthetic through beautifully crafted keypads and seamless automation.
At Sonic Vision, we specify, install, and program Rako control systems to bring sophisticated lighting control to both new-build projects and retrofits. Whether setting the mood for a dinner party, dimming the room for a home movie, or turning off every light at bedtime, Rako turns complex lighting layouts into effortless, single-touch simplicity.
Key Features & Capabilities

Bespoke Lighting Scenes: Replace cluttering banks of light switches with a single elegant keypad. We custom-program lighting scenes—such as Bright, Relax, Entertain, or Night—so every fixture in the room adjusts instantly to its ideal level.

Architectural Wall Keypads: Rako offers a wide range of premium faceplate finishes, from brushed metal and polished chrome to minimalist screwless designs, ensuring your control points match your interior architecture.

Wired & Wireless Flexibility: Rako systems suit both complete property rewires and retrofit upgrades. Wireless modules allow us to upgrade your lighting control without damaging existing plasterwork or decor, while wired systems provide scalable control for large-scale new builds.

How It Works
From initial system architecture to custom scene programming, we take a considered approach to engineering intelligent lighting tailored precisely to your space.
Design & Infrastructure
We map your lighting circuits to choose the right system architecture—Wired for new builds, Wireless for retrofits without re-plastering, or a Hybrid of both.
Module & Load Integration
Rako dimming modules or central rack enclosures are installed to directly power your fittings, delivering smooth, flicker-free dimming across all loads.
Smart Hub
Setup
We integrate a central Rako Hub into your local network, uniting keypads, app controls, and third-party automation systems into a single seamless ecosystem.
Scene
Commissioning
Using Rasoft Pro software, we calibrate precise lighting scenes—balancing task, ambient, and accent light—and assign them to custom-engraved wall keypads.
