Uplift Your Spirits in the Darkest Times of Years

As we enter into fall and winter, the days are getting shorter and the sun sets earlier in the day. If darker days give you the winter blues, there’s a way to bring warmth to your home and boost your mood: warm dim tunable lighting. 

What is warm dim lighting, you may ask? It’s a lighting control technology that automatically shifts your lightbulbs into a warm, golden hue as they dim. So while your lights shine bright with cool tones during the day, at night, they dim to a cozy warm glow.

Warm dim lighting isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s proven to enhance our well-being and help us live better, especially during winter. In this article, we’ll share how lighting control can benefit your Dallas, TX home from morning to night. And for more information, contact Texadia Systems here

How Warm Dim Lighting Works 

Humans naturally prefer light that shifts to a warm, golden hue at night, just like a campfire, candle, or sunset. “Warm dim” refers to a smart LED light’s ability to gradually shift from bright daytime white to a warmer, amber color at lower light levels.

Lighting control systems like Lutron allow you to adjust the same bright lights you use during the day to a relaxing glow at night. So rather than lessening the brightness of a cool-white light, your dimmed lights will appear soft and golden. 

The Psychological Impact of Lighting 

Many people have wondered if the ways we illuminate our homes could benefit our mental health and wellness. Professors of psychology Rachel and Stephen Kaplan at the University of Michigan conducted several studies on the ways humans react to environments, focusing on lighting in their study “The Experience of Nature: A Psychological Perspective.”  

They found that brightness levels as well as light colors affect our mental states. Brighter light can intensify emotions, while low light keeps our moods steady. And when it comes to our circadian rhythm, our body’s internal clock, blue light keeps us alert by suppressing melatonin. On the other hand, red light increases melatonin levels, helping us get ready for bed. 

The circadian rhythm not only affects our sleeping patterns, but also our limbic system that regulates our emotions. A disrupted circadian rhythm can disturb our emotions and make us feel anxious or uneasy at night with improper lighting. 

How to Get Warm Dim Lighting at Home 

If you ask us and any other smart home experts, Ketra by Lutron is the best manufacturer of warm dim tunable lighting. Its white light output can gradually adjust to match the setting sun outside, resulting in warm lighting that’s cozy and natural. Ketra’s smart light fixtures can produce more precise colors and dimming levels than any other manufacturer’s—dimming all the way down to one percent brightness. 

When you work with a home automation company like Texadia Systems, we connect all your home’s lights to a centralized control system that automatically adjusts the brightness and color temperature of lights throughout the day. And if you want to set the mood to a different shade of light? You can tap a customized button on the wall keypad or slide your finger on the Lutron app’s color wheel to create the perfect ambiance.
