Bring the Best of Lighting Control to Your Texas Smart Home

Whether you own a Savant system, are planning to install one, or are in the early stages of smart home research, lighting and shading are key components to smart home automation. 

And while Savant manufactures excellent lighting fixtures and motorized shades, Savant’s compatibility with Lutron lighting solutions unlocks a world of new possibilities. As a home automation company, Texadia Systems looks to Lutron for the widest breadth of lighting and shading options with stylish keypads, numerous shading options, and completely customizable LED lights. 

The benefits go both ways when you use Lutron with Savant. Savant expands your smart home experience into security, HVAC, audio, and video, while Lutron takes lighting to the next level.

Lighting Design for Superior Aesthetics & Smart Control 

Lighting design is all about the human experience. It’s where technology and art collide, transforming a space’s atmosphere through curated colors and brightness levels. 

But lighting can pose its challenges for homeowners and interior designers. Wooden ceilings are a charming, rustic addition to any interior, but it doesn’t suit many recessed lighting fixtures. The flange and trim stick out like a sore thumb against the wood, ruining the design. 

Luckily, one of our favorite lighting manufacturers, DMF Lighting, has a solution for wood ceilings. DMF’s new M-Series fixtures blend perfectly in wooden ceiling finishes and are built for DMF’s smart LED lights, which can be intelligently controlled through smart home systems. 

Here’s what makes the M-Series so valuable to any lighting design project!

Let There Be (Smart) Lights in Your Dallas Home

People are introduced to smart lighting in many ways. Some start with plug-and-play smart bulbs that let them change the color from their phone. From there, they might decide they’d like to expand smart lighting across the house with a more sophisticated system.

Other folks may already own a smart home system like Control4, which they use for multi-room audio, video, or security. They might then incorporate smart lighting and shading, synced to the same system.

Whatever piqued your interest in lighting control, we’re happy you’re here. Brands like Lutron offer incredibly exciting lighting technology that lets homeowners transform their interior’s atmosphere. And beyond looks, it adds plenty of benefits to daily life.

Discover the Advantages of a Professional Lighting Design 

Beautiful architecture and eye-catching interior décor are important. But that’s only one-half of the equation when designing a home. The other half? Lighting. 

Lighting is often an overlooked component of design, but it can make or break a space. Imagine a cozy, dimly-lit wine bar with interior brick and candlelight—the perfect spot for a date night. Now consider that same spot with ultra-bright fluorescent lights—or recessed lighting that shines on your face like a spotlight. It doesn’t feel as intimate anymore, does it? 

Similarly, your home’s lighting can profoundly impact the atmosphere you create. But most people don’t put too much thought into their lighting. They plug in a few lamps, screw in any-old light bulbs, and hang up whatever drapes they’ve owned for years. 

Whether you’re renovating your Frisco, TX home or are building a new property, this is the time to revamp your lighting with innovative LED lighting. But should you attempt to DIY your lighting design—or hire a lighting designer? 

Many people may be unaware of what a lighting designer does and how partnering with one can create jaw-dropping results. Below, we share the benefits a certified lighting designer can offer your home. And to learn more about home technology improvements, subscribe to our monthly newsletter here. 

Save Energy Instantly with a Smart LED Lighting Design 

Most of us grew up with incandescent lightbulbs, the “standard” bulb that stayed relatively the same since Edison’s invention in 1879. Then came compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs)—those spiral-shaped lights that claimed to use less energy. But today, LED bulbs are regarded as the most energy-efficient way to illuminate your home. If you’re reading this, you may be wondering just how resourceful they can be. 

When LED bulbs first hit the market, they were seen as too expensive and too bright. But they’ve come a long day in both price, brightness, and color temperature options. With a smart LED lighting design in your Frisco, TX home, you can customize your lights to look however you want—while saving energy! With smart LEDs, your home will look better than ever while lowering energy bills and helping the environment. Read on to discover how LED lights make a difference. And to learn more about smart lighting design, check out our blog articles here.

Take Total Control of Your Texas Home’s Lighting

When it comes to new builds, renovations, or interior design projects, we often mistakenly overlook our home’s lighting. But lighting can influence your house’s atmosphere just as much as furniture or a new carpet. Most builders install light switches and lights haphazardly in homes. A certified lighting designer knows how to create an LED lighting design that can be controlled by a smart system, so your home looks its best, is more convenient to manage, saves energy, and is safer, too.

From Morning ‘til Night, Here’s What A Day’s Like with Automated Lighting

Remember the Clapper? With a clap of your hands, a room’s lights would turn on and off like a party trick. The Clapper was a revolutionary (albeit somewhat annoying) new way to control lighting. Since then, smart lighting technology has advanced tremendously. But unless you know someone with a lighting control system, you may be unaware of the convenient and helpful features it provides.

To see how smart lighting control can fit seamlessly into your Dallas, TX lifestyle, read on for our day-in-the-life examples.

Why Lighting Control Improves Business—and Will Make You Look Good!

What makes a great workplace? Employees thrive where they feel valued, appreciated, and in a space where they can perform their best.

That’s why in today’s fast-paced business world, lighting control is both a helpful tool and a morale booster.

Lights? How much of an impact can they have on a business? You’d be surprised! Continue reading to see how meeting room lighting will benefit your Dallas, TX company.

Smart Lighting’s Effect on Energy Conservation

Have you heard that smart lighting control can help homeowners reduce electricity usage, minimizing our carbon footprints? Not only is lighting control an eco-friendly solution, but it can also help your household reduce monthly electric bills. As time goes on, you’ll save energy and money, which is always a bonus.

But how does lighting control work, and how exactly can it diminish energy costs? We’ll share that below, so continue reading to see how your University Park, TX-area home can become more efficient.

The Best Brightness & Color for Every Area

When LED light bulbs were first introduced, some were wary of their brighter glow that seemed less cozy than incandescent bulbs. Since then, the eco-friendly lights have come a long way with plenty of options to customize your home. But not every room will benefit from the same lighting color and temperature, and the LEDs you use should reflect each space’s needs.

Just like sunlight gives us energy, light bulbs function in a similar way. Bulbs that emit blue-tinted light waves produce serotonin in our minds, which make us feel more alert. Lamps without blue light allow our brains to produce melatonin, which prepares us for a good night’s sleep.

With this in mind, we’ve created a guide to help you properly design the LED lighting of your Frisco, TX home. Continue reading to learn more!
