Have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt at home? This most likely isn’t because of a nice scent or an elegant rug.

Why Smart Lighting?

Smart lighting systems go beyond the traditional on-and-off switch. They provide homeowners with control and flexibility and support their energy efficiency goals. When you pair a lighting design with smart technology, you can create a space that adapts to the moment. What does this look like?

With smart lighting, you can program your lights to align with your schedule. Wake up each morning to soft, warm tones that mimic sunrise, and set your outdoor lights to turn off at dawn. Automation ensures that your home is brightened when needed and saves energy when you don’t.

Along with scheduling, smart systems offer customized scenes for increased flexibility—allowing you to customize a lighting design to fit an exact moment. Hosting a dinner party may require one type of design while watching a movie requires another. You can adjust the light’s color, brightness, and intensity to match any activity.

Taking Control

Not all technology is difficult to use. Smart lighting systems can be operated with a user-friendly app, interface, switch, or voice control. Can you imagine walking into your living room and saying, “Dim the lights to 50%,” and it happens? You can actually adjust your lighting without even lifting a finger. These features make lighting accessible for everyone in the family, even those with mobility challenges.

Smart lighting systems also help you take control of energy use in your home. When you pair LED bulbs (which use less energy than traditional bulbs) with automation, your electricity bill will show you the impact. Turning off unnecessary lights using sensor technology or an app when you’re on the go will save energy and reduce your monthly bills.

A Smart Lighting Design

Adding smart lighting to your home starts with thoughtful lighting design. A professional designer can help you identify the key areas of your home that will benefit most from smart technology. Consider natural light, architectural features, and your lifestyle needs to create a functional and beautiful design.
