Imagine lights that know where and when to turn on and motorized window shades that rise on their own. And imagine lights that, in the evening, gradually dim and warm to a golden shade of white. Finally, consider what life would be like if you replaced light switches with keypads customized to daily life, with buttons like “Dinner” and “Away.”

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.
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.
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.

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.

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!
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!

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.

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!
