What Is Circadian Lighting Control?

20220211-160600TEXSYS_FebruaryBlog3_LightingControl_UniversityParkTX-

Sleep Better & Live Well with Help from Tunable Lighting  

Do you wake up feeling groggy each morning, hitting the snooze button until you’re running late? Do you rely on several cups of coffee to get through the day? And by nightfall, do you lie in bed with racing thoughts, unable to sleep? 

If that sounds like your daily experience, your circadian rhythm may be out of sync. The circadian rhythm is the internal clock that tells our bodies when to feel alert, sleepy, and even hungry. Our circadian rhythms are self-regulated but are largely influenced by the sun. 

So, what happens to our inner clock if we spend most of our time indoors? Artificial lighting can throw our sleep patterns off course, wreaking havoc on our health. Luckily, smart lighting control systems are transforming how we light our homes, leading to healthier lifestyles. 

In this article, we’ll share how human-centric lighting works, why it’s important, and how it will enhance your home. And if you’re interested in circadian lighting control in Dallas, contact Texadia Systems to get started on a new home system.

How to Replicate Daylight with Smart Lighting Control

Discover the Mood-Boosting Benefits of Natural Light at Home

When you purchase a lightbulb at the store, what you see is what you get. Some lights shine ultra-bright, while others produce a warm, golden hue. Other bulbs appear icy blue-white. While bright lighting may be helpful for your morning routine, at night, it’s harsh and uncomfortable on the eyes.

This isn’t the case with smart lighting control. Lighting control brands like Lutron let you intelligently customize and automate your LED bulbs’ color temperature and brightness. Throughout the day, lights can gradually shift to mimic the appearance of sunlight outside, following the changing sky.

Also, if you set your home’s lights to the wrong color temperature or brightness level, you could accidentally tamper with your mood, sleep, and home atmosphere. Below are a few ways lighting control can improve the living experience at your home in Southlake, TX.

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.

Why Offices Are Embracing Motorized Blinds & Lighting Control

why-offices-are-embracing-motorized-blinds-lighting-control-1

Lighting Control Is Not a Passing Office Trend. Here’s Why It’s Here to Stay. 

As businesses return to the office, we’ve seen many new workplace trends emerge, like open floor plans and ‘hot-desking.’ Whether these office designs will stick, it’s too soon to tell. But there’s one development we’re confident will become a permanent staple: smart lighting control. 

Lighting control systems can automate both smart LED bulbs and motorized shades. Your office lights can gradually brighten and dim, then turn off on their own when the office is vacant. And during the hottest times of day, shades can silently lower to reduce glare and keep rooms cool.

You may be thinking, ‘But we get by fine already without smart lighting and shades. Why would we need that?’

Motorized blinds and intelligent lighting actually provide numerous benefits, including saving time, energy, and creating a more positive workplace. Read on to see how automated lighting will benefit your Frisco, TX business, and contact Texadia Systems here to learn more.

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.

How Lutron Levels Up Your Home’s Lighting


New wireless smart LED lightbulbs like Philips Hue let users adjust the bulb’s color while toggling on and off over a smartphone app. But a complete lighting control system like Lutron is much more sophisticated than a single smart bulb.
