Plus, Experience Ketra Lighting In Our Dallas Showroom! 

Imagine your favorite restaurant, bar, or hotel. The one with the amazing atmosphere you love spending hours inside. What’s stopping your home or business from looking like that? 

Odds are, it’s your lighting. To create an inviting or intriguing atmosphere, lighting can’t be an afterthought. You could have the most amazing carpets, wooden floors, wall paints, and décor—but if your lighting is lackluster, it will immediately fall flat. 

An intentionally designed lighting system must consider how light accentuates the architecture, makes colors pop, and creates a certain mood. When we’re working on a lighting design, we opt for Ketra fixtures by Lutron, the ultimate smart lighting solution. 

With millions of color-changing possibilities and smooth, precise dimming, Ketra is luxury in lighting form. Here are techniques you can use with Ketra smart lighting to elevate your home or business. And if you want to see lighting design and lighting control in action?

All the Latest in Access Control Technology

Managing Permissions Has Never Been Smarter—Or Easier 

Keeping a business safe doesn’t mean simply catching crime when it happens. Your security system should be stopping crime before it ever enters the door. 

Access control systems let you manage who can and cannot enter your property using methods like locks and keys, key cards, or pin codes. While access control isn’t a new phenomenon—even ancient societies used rope knots and wooden locks—the technology is only ever getting smarter. 

With advancements in AI and cloud computing, access control is easier than ever to customize, monitor, and deploy. Explore all that’s new in access control to better protect your office, commercial space, or apartment complex.

AV Upgrades to Create an Unforgettable Hotel Experience

A modern hotel lobby with seating and a reception desk.

How to Transform Your Hotel’s Atmosphere with Audio & Video  

According to the 2024 Hotel Tech Report, 81 percent of travelers read online reviews before booking a hotel. And who’s writing those reviews? Forty percent of people say they’re likely to write a review after a positive experience—but 48 percent are more likely to write a negative review.  

With this in mind, it’s more important than ever to create a positive guest experience. It’s not enough to get people in the door; you need to continue to make a positive impression through every day of their trips. 

When tourists or businesses come to Dallas and look for a hotel, will your online reviews say the atmosphere was amazing, and the conference rooms were a breeze to use? If not, it’s time for an upgrade. Here’s how your hotel can use AV to your advantage to create an unforgettable stay.

Top Talent Wants Hybrid Work. Can Your Business Keep Up?

top-talent-wants-hybrid-work-can-your-business-keep-up

A Guide to Successful Hybrid Communication & Conference Room Design 

Forbes put it bluntly in their 2023 headline: “Embrace Hybrid Work or Lose Talent.” 

They had a point—one in four U.S. workers would rather undergo a root canal than commute five days a week to an office. Meanwhile, 39 percent of remote workers would rather quit than return to office for even one day. 

While many companies are returning to work fully in-person, if you want to attract and retain top talent, hybrid is the way to go. Imagine two job listings for the same role with the same salary—yet one is hybrid, and the other is in-office five days a week. Which position do you think will attract the best candidates? 

If your company has struggled to make hybrid work or has considered abandoning it altogether, here’s how you can improve conference room design for a hybrid future.

Create a 'Quiet Ceiling' Design with DMF’s Retrofit LED Kit

A modern home with a dining counter, dining table, glass-walled wine cellar, and small aperture recessed lighting.

Convert Your Existing Recessed Lights to Sleek LED Fixtures 

Have you heard of ‘quiet ceilings’? The latest interior design phenomenon, quiet ceilings are a sleek and minimalistic approach to recessed lights. The idea is to notice the warmth and illumination from LED lights—but not the fixture itself. 

To achieve quiet ceilings, we use small aperture, recessed downlights with a narrower opening than older recessed lights. DMF Lighting, one of our preferred lighting manufacturers, offers recessed downlights with apertures as small as four and even two inches wide. 

But you don’t need to redo your ceilings to achieve a sleek, modern lighting design. DMF Lighting’s retrofit lighting solutions make it easy to upgrade outdated light fixtures to sleek, new LEDs. Here’s how it works—and how your home’s interior will look so much better.

Ensure Business Meetings Are Productive and Engaging

There was a time when most meetings took place in person, with many employees and owners traveling across the country to engage directly with clients, other employees, and board members.

As with any new endeavor, pain points became apparent. The following represent some of the common issues faced in today’s conference room AV in Dallas, TX, and the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Fortunately, there are solutions that help enhance virtual meetings and take companies to the next level of productivity, collaboration, and brand image.

If people can’t comfortably engage and share ideas, staff may start to feel siloed and isolated. This can easily lead to miscommunication and details falling through the cracks—all snowballing into a business that’s in trouble.

If your video conferencing experience isn’t smooth or easy to initiate, you could be unconsciously hampering your company’s morale. Here are five common pitfalls businesses experience with virtual meetings—and how we can fix them.

How to Retrofit Incandescent Light Fixtures to LEDs

Upgrading Your Lighting Design Is Easy with DMF Lighting 

Is it time to finally update your home’s lighting fixtures to LEDs? Manufacturing of most incandescent bulbs has been banned for environmental reasons, and CFL bulbs are next

Not only are LEDs vastly more energy efficient than other light bulbs, but certain smart LEDs can also be intelligently controlled, letting you adjust the brightness and color with a tap of a button. This makes them ideal for smart homes and lighting design.

In most cases, you can simply screw an LED bulb into the legacy light socket. But in other scenarios, you’ll need an adaptor or retrofit kit to upgrade to LEDs. Let’s see if your Dallas–Fort Worth home needs to retrofit your fixtures—and how easy the solution can be.

Ketra: The Smartest Solution for Customizable Lighting Design

From Warm to Cool, Bright to Dim, and Everything In Between 

From wine to cheese, speakers to cars, every industry has its low-end and high-end varieties. And the same applies to smart lighting. 

While DIY smart LEDs are available in stores like Target, these Wi-Fi and Bluetooth bulbs are only entry-level devices. You can connect your phone to a few bulbs, select from a palette of colors, and dim the lights. 

But that’s only just dipping your toes. With a high-end lighting control system, you can simultaneously adjust the mood and atmosphere for entire rooms or the whole house. You can control indoor and outdoor lights even when you’re away from home. 

You won’t depend on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to control the lights, either, and can use wall keypads, remotes, and voice commands in addition to phone control. Plus, bulbs are only the start—there are also linear lights, track lights, downlights, and more. 

So where can you find such sophistication? Ketra. Ketra is the smart lighting brand favored by lighting designers worldwide. Explore the vast capabilities Ketra can offer your Dallas, TX, home below.

How to Bring Immersive Entertainment to Outdoor Spaces

Sync Outdoor TVs, Audio & Lighting to One System 

Imagine this: you step out onto your patio or lawn, and with a tap of a button, landscape lights activate to the perfect color and brightness settings. At the same time, the outdoor TV turns on, and weatherproof speakers connect at the ideal volume level. With multiple speakers installed around your living area, you enjoy media with rich, detailed sound. 

All of this is difficult to achieve on your own. Professional outdoor entertainment systems, like those you may see at an outdoor restaurant or venue, use control systems only available through certified dealers (like Control4 and Savant) and require strategically installed low-voltage wiring. 

When you hire an integrator to install an outdoor entertainment system, the results are immersive, seamless, and easy to use. Consider the following possibilities!
