Bring Energy & Vibrance to Your Office with a New Lighting Design 

Employers across the country are scrambling to make RTO (“return to the office”) a smooth transition for workers. Some are bringing new snacks into the office kitchen, while others offer a hybrid workweek.

But in our opinion, if you want people to love coming into the office, you need to create a comfortable and inspiring work environment. Alongside the furniture and wall colors you choose, meeting room lighting can make or break the experience of working for your company. 

With smart lighting control and a carefully planned lighting design, you’ll create an atmosphere that shakes the mundane and makes work an inspiring place for ideas and collaboration. Consider these factors for your Frisco, TX office’s lighting.

Get an LED Lighting Design That Follows the Sun

The lightbulb’s invention changed everything. Suddenly, people could learn and work later in the day, spurring an industrial revolution. The light bulb reduced the number of house fires caused by candles, and people enjoyed more leisure time than ever. 

While we love the lightbulb, it does have its drawbacks. Humans weren’t technically meant to stay up all night, and if you’re using bright, cool-toned lights late in the day, you could be accidentally disrupting your circadian rhythm. 

But we’re in the midst of a new lighting revolution—the age of LED lighting design. With smart LED lighting systems, we can automate lights to complement and balance our internal clocks to live more healthily. 

Read on to see how tunable circadian lighting works and will benefit your University Park, TX home. Interested in a LED lighting design? Contact Texadia Systems to get started. 

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.

As a Lutron dealer based in the Dallas, TX, area, we’ll share five advantages we’ve seen to switching to automated lighting. And to talk with a smart lighting professional, contact our team at Texadia Systems.

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.

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

Create an Unforgettable Experience at Your Dallas­–Fort Worth Hotel

What lands hotels spots on top ten travel lists? Two words: incredible experiences. When guests love a hotel’s atmosphere, they’ll remember it as a collection of positive, unique memories. A hotel is more than a place to stay—it’s a world within itself.

Uplift Your Spirits in the Darkest Times of Years

As we enter into fall and winter, the days are getting shorter and the sun sets earlier in the day. If darker days give you the winter blues, there’s a way to bring warmth to your home and boost your mood: warm dim tunable lighting. 

What is warm dim lighting, you may ask? It’s a lighting control technology that automatically shifts your lightbulbs into a warm, golden hue as they dim. So while your lights shine bright with cool tones during the day, at night, they dim to a cozy warm glow.

Warm dim lighting isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s proven to enhance our well-being and help us live better, especially during winter. In this article, we’ll share how lighting control can benefit your Dallas, TX home from morning to night. And for more information, contact Texadia Systems 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.

SEE WHAT YOU’VE BEEN MISSING  

We’ve been shading our windows much the same way for hundreds of years. Pulling on chords, tugging on fabric—it’s time-consuming if you need to do it multiple times a day. And in large homes with hard-to-reach windows, you may just leave the shades open. 

That is, until motorized shades. Motorized shades aren’t a brand-new concept, but Lutron has refined the technology to perform seamlessly across the house through automated schedules and smart commands. And Lutron is committed to its motorized shading business— it’s recently broken ground on a new 145,000-square-foot shading factory in Virginia. 

If you still use manual shades and blinds in your Westlake, TX home, see what you’ve been missing below. And if you’re curious about installing Lutron shades, contact Texadia Systems 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.

How? We share how an LED lighting design can enhance any home so you can find inspiration for your University Park, TX-area house. Discover the possibilities below!

How Good Can Smart Lighting Be?

For anyone that loves new technology or has a passion for interior design, smart lighting control is an exciting new addition to any home. While smart lighting has been eagerly buzzed about in recent years, there’s a wide range of LED lighting products available to choose from. 

At the lower end, you’ll find DIY smart bulbs like the Philips Hue models that can be screwed into lamp fixtures and connected to your phone over Wi-Fi. But smart lighting can get much more sophisticated than this, with high-end Ketra lighting fixtures and Lutron systems that offer whole-home control. 

If you’re interested in lighting control, you have some options. Are you fine with lower-grade LED solutions or ready for luxury systems like Ketra? We compare both below to help you find the best option.

Smart Home Control Tips That Reduce Your Seasonal Carbon Footprint

Cutting down on your monthly energy bills is a big priority during the winter months. As the days get shorter and colder, your lights and thermostat work overtime to keep your family comfortable and safe. Often these costs are exacerbated by the fluctuating temperatures in Highland Park, TX. What can you do to stay a step ahead and reduce costs without sacrificing comfort? Make the most of the winter with these smart home control solutions.

Retrofitting Your Lighting Doesn’t Have to Be a Headache

Maybe you’ve recently moved into a house with outdated lighting. Or perhaps you’ve never installed recessed lighting before and finally feel ready. Whatever your situation, if you’re looking to enhance your home’s lighting design, you’ve come to the right place.

Modern lighting is not just about plugging in fixtures and screwing in a lightbulb. With today’s smart lighting solutions, you can take lights beyond on/off control and activate ‘Morning’ and ‘Night’ settings that adjust the color temperature and brightness. You’re never stuck with one shade of lighting, and the possibilities are infinite.
