Customized Lighting Control Transforms Your Home Experience

Intuitive, Intelligent, and Beautiful

There was a time when lighting control consisted of pull cords, switches, and dimmers, even in the most luxurious of homes. Today, those devices have been replaced by elegant custom-engraved keypads, high-resolution touchscreens, universal remotes, and voice commands. 

Beyond stylish remotes, intelligent lighting automation systems learn your routines and respond to your preferences. In time, your home’s lighting begins to adjust on its own according to your schedule. 

Do you prefer the kitchen lights to welcome you in the morning with a soft, dawn-like illumination? Do you want your home’s living room, entryway, and landscape lights to brighten when you pull into the driveway at night, creating a sense of safety and peace? 

Today, there are no limitations on what lighting systems can do or the beauty they bring to homes. Here, we’ll explore the latest in lighting control and the role of a professional smart home integrator in personalizing this once static concept.

Adapting to Today’s Luxury Lifestyle

Luxury has undergone a dramatic transformation in the last decade. What was once defined by opulence is now centered around wellness and freedom. Today, many who embrace a luxurious lifestyle lean toward a less-is-more approach, with homes incorporating sustainable practices and biophilic design. They want nature’s beauty and its subtle grace to be a part of their everyday lives. 

Intelligent and intuitive lighting has become an integral part of this changing landscape. In these homes, lighting automatically shifts throughout the day, reflecting the ever-changing natural light. Subtle azure-blue transitions to a pale glow as motorized shades automatically open at sunrise. Midday, sunlight seems to illuminate the interior spaces, yet many of the shades have lowered to protect the flooring, furniture, and artwork from direct sunlight. In the evening, lighting fixtures become soft and warm, creating an atmosphere of peace and relaxation.

The result is a home that feels at one with the natural world rather than separate from it. And those who live in these homes feel the difference. Your body’s circadian rhythm, regulated to a large degree by light, resets and aligns with natural light. You settle into a restful sleep at night and feel more energized during the day.

One-Touch or Voice Command

Today, experiences override material things, and lighting plays a significant role in creating beautiful memories. Tap the “Entertain” button and the indoor and outdoor lighting transforms, creating your desired mood and ambiance. Tap “Dinner,” and the kitchen and dining room lights respond, slowly transitioning to a subtle blue over the kitchen island and a candlelight glow above the dining room table. Say, “Goodnight,” and the shades lower while the lights dim.

These lighting systems also play their part in creating a more secure environment, continuing to perform their automated actions when you’re gone. The shades rise and lower, and the lighting adjusts. To a potential intruder, your home appears occupied. You can also manage your lights from anywhere with a smartphone app. 

Automated Via Sensors

Strategically positioned sensors register when the shades are open and natural light streams into the home. In response, the electric lights dim. When everyone leaves a room, the lights automatically turn off. Adapting to a changing environment, these sensors help create a more sustainable and eco-friendly home by automatically reducing energy consumption.
