What’s the first thing you do when you wake in the morning and go to sleep at night? For many people, it’s turning on their lights. Whether flipping a light switch, controlling a dimmer, or tapping an in-wall keypad, light is with us 24/7 and enables us to complete our tasks and live in a beautiful environment. Like many things that have become commonplace, it’s easy to take it for granted.
Today, however, lighting technology is quickly evolving. Now, your lights can automatically illuminate in the morning and change color and intensity throughout the day. They can support your well-being by mimicking the sun's light and set the stage for every occasion with one tap on a touchscreen.
Today’s designers and integrators consider the effect lighting has on one's moods and emotions, blending art and technology to create spaces that are both functional, breathtaking, and conducive to focus and relaxation.
To achieve this level of lighting design, you need an experienced smart lighting integrator. At Texadia Systems, we specialize in combining the latest technology with the best practices in residential lighting design. In this blog, we explore how our lighting design expertise helps to transform homes in Highland Park, TX, and the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

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.
Lightbulbs have largely functioned the same way for nearly one hundred and fifty years—ever since Thomas Edison first invented them. Sure, colored light bulbs emerged, followed by fluorescents and spiral CFLs that use less energy. Still, all lightbulbs worked the same as always—you screwed them in, turned on a light, and that was that.
That is, until the LED light. With LED lighting, suddenly you can remotely control the appearance and atmosphere of your home like a magic spell. LED lights can be intelligently controlled to adjust their brightness and color and can even be managed in groups or as a whole system.
Upgrading your home with an LED lighting control system has proven to enhance both comfort and efficiency in many ways. Read on to find out how.

Lutron is known for its incredible smart lighting fixtures and lighting control systems that transform the atmosphere of any room. But Lutron manufactures more than just lights and control systems. It also offers a variety of stylish wall keypads and switches that let you activate custom buttons like “Morning” and “Night” or dim the lights to a precise three percent brightness.
No lighting control system is complete without updating to Lutron light switches. So what are your options? In this blog, we share what’s possible for your Southlake, TX, home and why you’ll want to say goodbye to plain old on/off switches. To learn more, contact Texadia Systems today.
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!

We’ve written on this blog about how the key to great lighting design is in layers. Ideally, a room shouldn’t be illuminated only by a few overhead lights.
