Welcome to the IllumiArts Community

IllumiArts LLC is a boutique lighting firm based in Washington, D.C., dedicated to redefining how we experience light through the seamless fusion of art, technology, and design. As pioneers in sound-reactive LED wall panels and interactive LED art installations, we bring innovation to every project. Founded by architect and lighting expert Farah Barnes—with over 25 years in architectural lighting, museum exhibitions, and award-winning projects—our team blends deep industry knowledge with bold creative vision to deliver premium, patented solutions for gaming rooms, luxury hotels, and modern homes.

Our team of designers and engineers craft immersive, expressive environments that fuse dynamic light, art, sound, and intelligent ambiance to elevate well-being and ignite creativity. Whether you need custom LED art for commercial spaces or a music visualizer panel for your gaming setup, we oversee every detail from concept to production. All products are globally certified (UL, ULC, CE, CB) and built with high-quality materials like anodized aluminum and mirrored stainless steel.

Our Journey — From Museum Shops to Global Campaigns

First Generation: Our journey began in Washington, D.C., where our first-generation products found homes in some of the nation's most prestigious cultural institutions:

• The National Gallery of Art — Museum Shop, Washington DC
• Renwick Gallery (Smithsonian American Art Museum) — Museum Shop, Washington DC
• Touch of Modern — Curated Design Marketplace

Second Generation: Building on our success, our second-generation lighting earned a place in one of DC's premier design destinations:

• Theodores Luxury Furniture — Washington DC

Third Generation & Beyond: We successfully completed our crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, launching our current third-generation IA Smart Lighting system to backers around the world. Today, our patented technology continues to evolve, bringing the fusion of light, art, and sound to homes, hotels, and commercial spaces globally.

Our flagship IA Smart Lighting system—born from 10+ years of research and patented development—merges addressable RGB LEDs, real-time sound-reactive effects, swappable art panels, and dual-mode mirrored surfaces (mirror by day, vibrant display by night) into one revolutionary wall-mounted piece. Available in Nano (12.9" × 12.9") and Pro (24.8" × 24.8") sizes, it's designed for gamers, anime enthusiasts, home ambiance seekers, and commercial spaces.
