How You Can Customize Your Smart Lighting System 

Have you used a smart bulb before? They’ve become increasingly popular in recent years and are even available at stores like The Home Depot and online on Amazon. While it’s fun to play with lighting colors from your phone, DIY smart bulbs aren’t a practical solution to illuminate your entire house. They often have trouble saving settings, don’t communicate with each other, and lack customization options. 

But there is an alternative. Sophisticated lighting control systems like Lutron and Control4 are built for whole-home control and are smart enough to group lights together and operate them on a schedule. 

The possibilities are nearly endless with high-end lighting systems that can be used to make your house look and feel more comfortable than ever. 

Here’s how you can control LED lights in your Southlake home with smart systems like Lutron and Control4. And to bring smart lighting to your Texas home, contact Texadia Systems here

Customize Color Temperature 

While selecting rainbow lighting colors is fun for parties, most of the time, you’ll use your lighting control system to customize shades of white. Lighting color temperature is an important factor to consider, as it can influence how walls and furniture appear and enhance our moods and well-being

Bright, cool-toned lights set from 5000 to 10000 Kelvins (units of color temperature) make people feel more alert and awake, which is perfect for the morning— but uncomfortable at night. When you adjust the mobile color wheel and set your lights to a warmer shade of white, from 2000 to 4000 Kelvins, you’ll feel cozier and perhaps sleepier, ideal for nighttime. 

Smart systems like Lutron and Control4 let you program lights to adjust their color temperature automatically, so you won’t need to change the lights manually. In the morning, lights will start bright and cool, gradually warming and dimming by dinner time. 

Adjust Beam Spread 

You can control not only the color of your lights but also the width and hardness of each light beam. This is incredibly handy for versatile lighting applications. For example, if you’d like to provide ambient lighting throughout the room, you can tell your LEDs to create a wide flood of light. But if you’re illuminating a specific object, like a plant, painting, or sculpture, a narrow beam of light creates focus and will draw attention to the item. 

Control Outdoor Lighting 

Lighting control isn’t restricted to the indoors, either. Use your smart system to automate and control your landscape lights, even creating daily schedules that tell lights to turn on and off at specified times. 

While spending time in the yard at night, you can set your lights to a cozy, warm glow. But after the family’s gone to bed, if your security system triggers outdoor lights to activate, they’ll turn on to a bright, cool light that exposes whatever or whoever is on your property. 

When your house is equipped with a lighting control system, you’re in command of your home’s atmosphere and appearance. Discover the magic of smart lighting by visiting Texadia Systems in our showroom or contacting us here. We look forward to working with you!
