Lighting Control in Blakeslee
Lighting control earns its keep fastest in a house that sits empty part of the year. A house that lights itself at dusk and goes dark at bedtime reads as occupied from the road, and you never drive back up the mountain because someone left the basement on.
Gated lake developments
Homes in these developments were mostly built between the 1970s and 1990s, which means the switch boxes frequently have no neutral conductor and the panel is closer to full than anyone expects. That shapes the design: we verify neutrals before quoting, and where they are missing we use dimmers rated to work without one rather than opening walls. The result costs less than people assume and does not turn into an electrical project.
Local conditions
What this looks like in Blakeslee.
The housing here
Large planned communities with a wide range of build quality and vintage. Some homes have structured wiring behind a panel nobody ever opened; others have nothing but a coax drop.
Connectivity
Development-wide cable service that is generally serviceable, though peak-weekend congestion is common in the denser sections.
Why owners here buy it
Split between full-time residents and heavy rental use. Locks and networking dominate on the rental side; audio and lighting on the resident side.

Scope
What is included.
From $3,500
A typical whole-home Lutron system in a 3,000 sq ft lake house lands between $8,000 and $20,000 installed, depending on how many loads get dimmed and how many keypads replace them.
- Lutron dimmers and switches on every load worth dimming
- Engraved keypads at entries, primary suite, and the great room
- Scenes tuned on site at dusk, not guessed at from a spec sheet
- Astronomic timeclock so exterior lights track sunset year-round
- Vacancy sensors in baths, laundry, and pantries
- App and voice control, with the wall always working first
Questions
Lighting questions from Blakeslee homeowners
Something not covered here? Call (267) 719-3598 and ask.
Do you install lighting control in Blakeslee?
Yes. Blakeslee is part of our regular service area and we work throughout Monroe County, including Emerald Lakes, Blue Ridge, Pocono Country Place area. We are based in Pocono Pines, so this is work we do ourselves rather than subcontract.
Do you have to rewire the house?
Almost never. Lutron RA3 and Caséta use the existing wiring — we swap the switches and add a repeater. Rewiring only comes up when a circuit has no neutral in the box, and even then there are workarounds we carry on the truck.
What happens if the internet goes out?
Every keypad and dimmer keeps working. The processor is in the house, not in a data center. You lose remote app access until the connection is back; you do not lose your lights.
