This is Automation Unplugged, and I'm Ron Callis. My guest today is Scott Smith, founder of Arche Lighting Group, based in Roswell, Georgia. Driven by a passion for lighting and its ability to transform the atmosphere of a space, Scott founded Arche Lighting Group to serve integrators, architects, interior designers, builders, and select homeowners throughout the United States. Arche Lighting provides a complete turnkey solution—from consultation and design to documentation, specification, and project management—skillfully crafting the atmosphere of spaces that feel comfortable and inviting.
