Founded by Mike with 15+ years of trade experience, Lumen handles low-voltage installations (smart home automation, security, home theater, networking, intercoms) and custom built-ins, motorized furniture, and bespoke woodwork from a single trusted team. ## About Lumen Home Solutions is owned and operated by Mike, a tradesman with 15+ years of hands-on experience wiring smart homes and building custom furniture.
