How Does Smart Lighting Control Enhance Well-Being?

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.

Enhancing Comfort & Efficiency with Smart LED Lighting Controls

A kitchen in three parts, illuminated by warm LED lighting, paler light, and cool-toned light.

Why A Home Lighting Control System Is Worth the Upgrade 

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.

The Latest & Greatest of Lutron Motorized Shades

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.

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.

Lighting Design with DMF’s Small-Aperture Fixtures

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.

Why We Should All Be Living with Tunable Circadian Lighting

Why We Should All Be Living with Tunable Circadian 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.

How You Can Customize Your Smart Lighting System 

Have you used a smart bulb before? They’ve become increasingly popular in recent years and are even available at stores like The Home Depot and online on Amazon. While it’s fun to play with lighting colors from your phone, DIY smart bulbs aren’t a practical solution to illuminate your entire house. They often have trouble saving settings, don’t communicate with each other, and lack customization options. 

But there is an alternative. Sophisticated lighting control systems like Lutron and Control4 are built for whole-home control and are smart enough to group lights together and operate them on a schedule. 

The possibilities are nearly endless with high-end lighting systems that can be used to make your house look and feel more comfortable than ever. 

Here’s how you can control LED lights in your Southlake home with smart systems like Lutron and Control4. And to bring smart lighting to your Texas home, contact Texadia Systems here
