Our journey started reviewing and stamping electrical plans and because of our automation and engineering education, we were asked to help to plan and design the lighting and a lighting control system. We quickly learned that the contractors needed help with selecting lighting.
Our business grew when others began requesting our services and work expanded to include audio-video and complete automation solutions.
We sought others to join our team, and after Katrina we took over a lighting showroom and electrical distribution business.
At PEMBA, we regularly evaluate new electrical, lighting, sound & automation products. We provide lighting design and engineering services, and go to market twice a year to bring new lighting & automation products to our customers.
PEMBA is a member of various organizations including CEDIA where we are a Registered Outreach instructor to provide training on various automation solutions to the trades.
​
Our team has a mix of skills and talents to help you with your project.

| Lighting Design
PEMBA provides design services in engineering, lighting, and automation and regularly works with design and construction professionals to incorporate lighting and technology.
Lighting design is both technical and art. It is the application of quantity and type of light to a space. Lighting design should be used to illuminate and enhance. Light itself is important but the effects of light are of greater importance in our daily lives.
Patricia develops and presents human-centric lighting training courses for design and construction professionals.
| Engineering & Design
PEMBA is a licensed professional engineering firm in the state of Louisiana and Texas. We have a background in Power Engineering.

ROBERT & MARY L.
"It is a pleasure to work with the Staff of PEMBA. They were the lead audio /video design and installation team for our 'rest of our life' / dream home construction. Their staff walked us thru the possibilities available in this technical age. And they were able to make the products and functions 'user friendly' for a couple in their late 60s. And, most importantly, they were available to work thru the inevitable 'bugs' as we became using all of the system's potentials. Their follow-up when we called is and was superior. We can recommend the PEMBA team without reservation."
