As new smart technology is invented, so are new terms and phrases. So, what is ‘warm dimming’ or ‘warm dim lighting’? If you’re wondering, you’ve come to the right place.
In this article, we’ll dive into warm dimming and share how it can elevate your home’s lighting design. And if you’d like to learn more about a smart lighting installation in the Southlake, TX area, contact Texadia Systems here.
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.

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!
As technology advances, our lives quickly transform, and we forget how much easier and more convenient they’ve become. One day, we’ll look back on manual shades in the same light—a necessity that required getting up and tugging at cords to close or raise the window coverings.
If you haven’t considered motorized shades because you’re concerned about how they’ll integrate into your home’s aesthetics and lifestyle, you’ll be happy to hear about Lutron's Palladiom line. These window coverings are the designer’s choice for custom shades. Let’s explore their many features and how they’re transforming homes in Dallas, TX, and the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
If you’d like to learn more about Palladiom motorized shades or one of the many other smart window coverings in Lutron’s lineup, contact Texadia Systems.
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.
One of the top questions people ask us about lighting control is: “Is it worth it?” Honestly, it depends! If you use a sophisticated system like Lutron, then absolutely. But plug-and-play Wi-Fi-connect light bulbs are not convenient for adding smart lighting to an entire house.
Once you’ve paid a visit to our showroom and seen Lutron lighting control in action, you’ll no longer wonder if it’s worthwhile. But until then, if you’ve never used a smart lighting system, you might not know just how transformative it can be.

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.

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.
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!

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!
