Explore the Options in Lighting Retrofit Solutions
Save Energy and Enhance Your Home's Beauty with High-Performance LEDs
Whether you've been considering upgrading your lighting system to take advantage of the newest technologies or reducing your energy consumption and enjoying a greener home, now may be the time. Some U.S. states have introduced new laws that ban or restrict the sale of fluorescent lamps; others are considering similar regulations.
A lighting retrofit for your Seattle, WA, home can take many forms. There are flexible options requiring no rewiring; you can simply replace lamps and ballasts with LED lighting and drivers. Then, there are lighting system upgrades that combine beautiful fixtures with today's lighting controls.
Both benefit from high-performance LEDs that provide stunning illumination, enhance well-being, and offer greater energy efficiency. Let's explore the options and why so many homeowners are incorporating the latest lighting technology.

Enhanced Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
More people than ever are looking at sustainable options for providing energy and light to their homes. LEDs offer a simple solution, reducing energy usage by 50% compared to fluorescent lights. These lights last up to 25 times longer than incandescent lighting and up to five times longer than compact fluorescent lights.
The U.S. Department of Energy believes that, by 2035, most lighting installations will use LED technology and that technology will save considerable energy, equal to the energy output of over 921,000 MW power plants.
These energy savings often offset the cost of a lighting retrofit over time, providing a solid return on investment.
Full-Spectrum and Tunable Lighting
At Elite Automation, we partner with Lutron, the global leader in lighting control and high-performance LEDs. These systems offer full-spectrum, tunable LED lighting and natural light.
Dynamic spectrum lighting gives you access to all the colors in the visible light spectrum, which amounts to a limitless palette, including lighting resembling moonlight, firelight, arctic blue, and indigo. This type of lighting can change the mood in an instant and offers endless options for entertaining, relaxing, and self-expression.
Natural light is programmed to reflect the changing light outdoors. This lighting brings daylight indoors, creating a sense of well-being. Your lights start out replicating the blue glow of dawn and transform throughout the day until settling into the soft golden-amber shades of dusk.
Beautiful Fixtures
LED light fixtures designed for intelligent controls can enhance the beautiful aesthetics of your home. Track and recessed lighting provide downlights for ambient and task lighting. Linear lighting strips can be placed under cabinets and in ceiling coves, offering striking illumination. Pendant lights draw attention and make a design statement, while wall sconces may blend in with the aesthetics, providing a soft glow and indirect lighting.
Effortless Control
You can manage your lighting from elegant keypads and touchscreens, pressing a button that transforms every light in your home. Tune each light to the exact color and intensity and save it under an activity or mood. LEDs provide complete personalization, changing your home's look and feel with one touch.
