Lighting Fit for Your Family’s Needs

Circadian Lighting & Architectural Lighting Offer Illumination Designed for Your Home 

Your lights probably have pretty limited functions: turn on, turn off, maybe dim. But the light your kitchen needs at 7 AM differs completely from what your living room needs at 9 PM, and most homes never account for that. Circadian and architectural lighting help you design beautiful, versatile lighting for every corner of your home. 

Circadian lighting shifts color temperature and brightness through the day. Most people prefer spaces to mirror the changing sunlight: brighter and cooler in the morning, warmer and dimmer at night. Architectural lighting fixtures are installed within the ceiling, wall, or cove. You notice the light, but not the hardware behind it. 

If you're in Dallas-Fort Worth and planning a project, reach out to Texadia Systems for a lighting design consultation. 

How Circadian Lighting Follows Your Day

What do you want your lighting to look like when your alarm goes off at 6:30 a.m.? Now, how about when you go to bed to wind down after a long day? With standard lighting, you get the same settings for both, regardless of your preferences. 

Lutron’s Ketra fixtures shift the color and brightness of your lights on a schedule you set once. Mornings run cool and bright, close to natural daylight, which helps you feel alert without reaching for a second cup of coffee. By night, the same fixtures shift to a warmer, dimmer tone that signals your body it's time to slow down. Once it's set, the schedule runs on the clock throughout the day, so the room is always ready. 

Lutron also just acquired Orluna, a specialist in architectural lighting fixtures. With Orluna, Lutron offers a new range of downlights, cylinders, and path lighting for a warm environment. These lights pair with Lutron’s new Palladiom drapery to create an elegant ambiance in every room of your home. 

Architectural Lighting Built Into Your Home

Great lighting requires properly spaced-out, layered fixtures. But what if you don’t want a sconce mounted on the hallway wall or lights bolted onto the ceiling in the living room? When you want discreet lighting, DMF Lighting is there to help with small-aperture fixtures built into ceilings, walls, or coves before drywall goes up. 

In a hallway, you get a continuous line of light running along the ceiling with no visible fixture at all. In a living room, you get cove lighting tucked behind a ceiling detail, washing light across the room without a single bulb in sight.

We Handle the Wiring and the Schedule 

Texadia handles both the wiring and the programming needed to bring circadian and architectural lighting into your home. During your consultation, a lighting designer asks about your daily routine: when you wake up, when you wind down, which rooms you use for entertaining versus quiet time. Check out our Instagram for an example of a recent project.

That conversation shapes two things: the schedule programmed into your circadian lighting, and the fixtures chosen to fit your ceilings, walls, and design style. A household that wakes up at 5:30 AM for an early commute needs a different morning routine for sleeping in on weekends. A room built for entertaining has a different evening mood than one built for quiet reading. 

Both decisions come from that same conversation with Texadia, before installation starts.
