THE MOMENT

The house that feels like a venue.

Paint gives a room one colour and holds you to it. Light gives it a mood and lets you change your mind. Colour-change LED runs sit inside the plasterwork, so the room you walk into at eight is not the room you left at six.

Dinner sits warm and low. Film night goes deep blue and the walls disappear. People arrive and the hallway runs magenta to the door. One control, one room, a different night every time.

It is the same trade that lights gyms, bars, salons and barbershops. We build it at that scale, then bring it home.

NEON & COLOUR

Colour, at full volume.

Tunnels, portals, hexagon canopies and neon lines cut through the walls. This is the work the trade is known for — gyms, cinema rooms, salons, barbershops and hallways — photographed as installed.

EVERY FRAME A DAROS JOB · PHOTOGRAPHED AS INSTALLED, NOT STAGED

ON SITE

Walked before it opens.

Colour lighting is commissioned, not just fitted. Before a room opens, every scene is stored, every run is checked at eye level, and the founder walks the floor the way the people using it will.

One booking covers the electrician, the plasterwork and the commissioning — sequenced together, guaranteed centrally, handed over working.

COLOUR-CHANGE

One installation. Any colour in it.

A colour-change run holds any colour you point it at and moves between them on cue — red for a launch, electric blue on a Tuesday, violet for a party. Nothing is repainted. Nothing is refitted. The room simply arrives in a different mood.

WHERE IT GOES

Rooms that change character.

Desire is specific. Nobody wants lighting — they want their hallway, their cinema room, their salon, lit like the one they saw. These are the four rooms this trade lives in.

S-01LIGHTS DOWN

Cinema room

Neon lines down the side walls, a lit step edge, and a wash you can drop to almost nothing. The screen stays the brightest thing in the room, and the walls fall away.

DEEP BLUE · STEP LIGHTING · SCENE CONTROL
S-02COMMERCIAL SCALE

Gym & studio

Tunnels, portals and hexagon canopies that make a floor look serious before anyone lifts anything. Built to run all day, colour set by zone.

Bar, salon & barbershop

Colour on the walls, glow under the counter, lit mirrors at every station. A fit-out that does its own marketing every time someone lifts a phone.

Statement home

Outlined hallways, backlit panels and a media wall that changes with the evening. The part of the house guests bring up first.

THE BIT THEY REMEMBER

BACKLIT SKIES & FABRIC CEILINGS

Daylight in a room that hasn't got any.

A printed membrane — sky, forest canopy, sunset — tensioned into a frame with LED behind it. The panel reads as a rooflight. The room below borrows daylight it hasn’t got, and the ceiling stops being a lid.

It is the answer to the windowless rooms: corridors, salons, treatment rooms, basements, en-suites. The 3D fabric system carries the same trick onto curved and sculpted forms — light through fabric, source never seen.

QUESTIONS

Straight answers.

Can the colours actually change?

Yes. A colour-change run holds any colour in the spectrum and moves between them on cue. You store scenes — film, dinner, party, clean-down — and pick them from a wall plate, an app or a voice command.

Isn't coloured light a bit much for a house?

Only when it is fitted badly. The runs sit in shadow gaps, coves and channels, so what you see is light on the surface rather than a strip on the wall. A house can sit on warm white day to day and bring the colour out only on the nights that want it.

Is this only for gyms and bars?

No. The same kit lights hallways, kitchens, media walls, cinema rooms and bedrooms. Commercial rooms simply gave us the practice at scale — the detailing is identical, the volume is not.

Will I see the LED dots?

No — and if you ever can, it has been done wrong. Proper profiles, diffusers and setback distances turn points into one unbroken line of light. That is the standard the whole page is built on.

Can it go in a bathroom or a wet room?

Yes, with IP-rated fittings in the wet zones and the drivers positioned outside them. Backlit niches, mirror glow and lit shower recesses are routine work for the family.

Does it work with smart-home systems?

Dimmable throughout. We wire for a plain wall dimmer or for mainstream smart controls, and the choice is made at the design stage rather than added later.

Who does the electrical work, and what if a strip fails?

A qualified electrician handles the wiring and certification; the family builds the plasterwork around it, and one booking covers both trades. Drivers — the usual point of failure — are always placed where a hand can reach them, and the profiles are designed for access rather than demolition.

What decides the price, and how long does it take?

The length of the runs, the profiles and controls specified, and how much plasterwork the design needs. Every job is priced after a survey. Most schemes are first-fixed, plastered and commissioned in a matter of days, and the schedule comes with the survey.

THE QUIET RANGE

And when you want none of it.

The same runs, held on warm white and dimmed to the evening: coves and coffers washing the ceiling, backlit alabaster and copper panels, lit niches, mirror glow. No colour, no spectacle — the surface does the performing and the light just holds the torch.

THE PROCESS

How the job runs.

  1. Tell us the room

    Send a photo and a rough size. We will say straight away whether the room suits neon lines, a backlit panel, a quiet cove — or all three together.

  2. Survey

    We measure, check the ceiling void and the wiring routes, and agree where the light should come from. Nothing is quoted before this; every job is priced after the survey.

  3. Scene design

    Colours and scenes are set with you — film, dinner, party, clean-down — and the controls are specified: wall plate, app or voice. Decided now, never bolted on afterwards.

  4. First fix

    A qualified electrician runs the wiring and certifies it. Profiles and channels go in with the plasterwork built around them, so no fitting ever ends up on show.

  5. Commission and hand over

    The plasterwork is finished flush, every run is set at eye level, every scene is stored, and we walk the room with you before we leave.

THE FAMILY

Certified on light.

Every profile is set and plastered in by a crew member trained and certified on the trade at the Daros school — one standard, fifty locations, booked and guaranteed centrally.

FOR THE TRADE

Every one of these runs is set into plaster.

A profile is only as clean as the wall it disappears into. The Supply Room carries the lime and microcement the family sets them in, with the primer that goes under each one. Priced on enquiry.
