A Simple Upgrade to an LED Lighting Design  

Did you hear the news? The U.S. has officially implemented a ban on incandescent (Edison) light bulbs. Although this is a positive development for the environment, many individuals are not pleased about the loss of warm, cozy, incandescent lights.

Thankfully, this doesn't mean that you'll be stuck with icy, bright lights from now on. LED lighting has made significant advancements and is now available in various color temperatures and levels of brightness. This is an ideal opportunity to upgrade to a new LED lighting design that features high-quality LEDs and a smart control system.

Why should you consider retrofitting your home's lighting design?

Why Should I Switch to LED Lights? 

Switching to LED lighting is an eco-friendly decision for homeowners seeking to elevate their living environments. Moreover, smart LED lights enable you to personalize the color and intensity of your lighting to match any ambiance or event. With cutting-edge control systems like Lutron, you can effortlessly schedule your lighting to adjust throughout the day, ensuring that your home is always perfectly illuminated. 

What Hardware Needs to Change? 

When transitioning from legacy light fixtures to LEDs, it may be necessary to make some hardware adjustments. In the case of old recessed lighting fixtures, the previous connectors may not be compatible, requiring the use of an adapter.

For example, incandescent lights typically use Edison screws, while CFL bulbs often use the GU24 connector. On the other hand, high-quality LED fixtures like DMF Lighting or Ketra commonly use IDEAL connectors, which can be installed with the help of an adapter.

It's important to note that LED lights have different characteristics compared to incandescent and CFL bulbs. Factors such as light output (lumens), color temperature, and color rendering accuracy (CRI) can significantly impact the ambiance of your home. Therefore, it's crucial to consider the lighting design of each room and how the space will be used before selecting LED lights. Alternatively, you can opt for a smart lighting system that allows you to customize the color and brightness at any time.

How Can I Intelligently Control LED Lights? 

By opting for a lighting retrofit, you can take advantage of a smart control system to remotely manage and automate the lighting in your home. While centralized lighting systems are commonly installed in newly constructed homes with in-wall wiring, retrofitting with a wireless controller like Lutron's RadioRA 3 is a great alternative.

The RadioRA 3 processor connects to your house’s Ethernet cabling and enables wireless communication with your LED lights via the home network. With your smartphone, wall keypad, or even voice assistant, you can conveniently control multiple rooms and lights.
