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!

A New Era of Home Lighting

LED lighting is more than a type of lightbulb. It’s a way to transform the mood of any room and uplift your home’s atmosphere. In addition, LED lighting saves energy and time and can be automated to follow your routine. 

Compared to incandescent and CFL lights, LED lights are unique, thanks to their automation and smart control capabilities. And you can make the most of LEDs with special lighting fixtures built purposefully with design and automation in mind. 

It’s a new age of lighting, and we couldn’t be more excited to introduce this new technology to homeowners in the Frisco, TX area. To learn more about a new lighting system for your home, contact Texadia Systems here. 

CUSTOMIZABLE BUTTONS TO COMPLEMENT YOUR INTERIOR DESIGN

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.

But smart lighting can get much more sophisticated than this, with high-end Ketra lighting fixtures and Lutron systems that offer whole-home control.

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.

Command Your Lights & Shades Alongside Other Home Devices

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.” 

It’s all a reality when you own a Lutron lighting control system. Lutron intelligently syncs all your lights, shades, and even smart thermostats to a central controller. So whether you’re using the Lutron app or pressing a button on the wall, you can activate and adjust your lights’ appearance anytime. 

Some homeowners choose to install a Lutron system and leave it there. But you can take it further by integrating it into a greater smart home system, like Control4. Learn how Lutron works and enhances your Control4 smart home in University, TX.

DMF’s LED Lighting Fixtures Aren’t One-Size-Fits-All

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. Mixing ambient, accent, and task lighting layers will bring depth and emotion to the room with the freedom to add or remove lights for life’s different activities. 

When we need to source LED lighting fixtures for a lighting design project, time and time again, we look to DMF Lighting. DMF engineers and manufactures high-end LED light fixtures with modular housings for its range of lighting products. DMF’s warm-dim and color-tunable technology make it the perfect choice for smart lighting control systems.

Last year, DMF unveiled its new small aperture downlight, a revolutionary product for the lighting industry. Here’s what small aperture lighting means and why it can do wonders for your Dallas, TX, home.

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.

Smart Home Control Tips That Reduce Your Seasonal Carbon Footprint

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.

Is My Lighting Control System Outdated?

Lighting control technology is only ever getting better, with new solutions becoming available every year (like Lutron’s new Lumaris Smart Tape Light). If your Dallas home is equipped with a years or decades-old Lutron lighting system, is it time for an upgrade? 

An outdated lighting system means missing out on incredible color-tunable and automation possibilities. Whether you have a system by Lutron or another manufacturer, here are signs you’d benefit from a new, upgraded LED lighting system. 

A More Comfortable Way to Illuminate Home 

Imagine waking in the morning, and rather than struggling to wake up in your stuffy, dim bedroom, your window shades automatically raise to let in the bright morning sun. You don’t even have to press a button—they’re scheduled to follow your routine. 

Later in the day, as you work in the home office and the sun starts to lower, all the right lights brighten to a comfortable glow. Your home’s lights shift to a cozy, golden hue in the evening, helping you wind down and prepare for sleep again. 

With a smart lighting control system, you’re never stuck with just one shade of white light. And it’s not just about aesthetics—lighting control also enhances your overall well-being and mood throughout the day. How? Let’s find out.
