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.

Simplify Your Routine and Transform Your Home’s Appearance

We’ve all sat down for a movie and thought, “It’s too bright in here.” You stand up to turn off the lights, and next, you might say, “Now it’s too dark! We can’t see each other!” You turn on the hallway light and ask your family or friends if that now looks good. Finally, you can start the movie. 

These sorts of dilemmas happen all the time. But Lutron, the lighting control manufacturer, says no more to poor lighting. Light, both natural and artificial, is an essential component to cultivating an atmosphere at home. Lutron’s motorized shades and lighting solutions use smart home automation to make the most of your interior spaces.

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. 

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.

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. 

Create an Atmosphere You’d Love to Call Home 

In 2021, a study by Redfin found that most homeowners are living in their houses for an average of 13.2 years—up from 10.1 years in 2012. As more people stay put, they’re looking for ways to invest and improve their homes. If you’re also considering a renovation, is lighting in your plans? 

A great lighting design has the power to transform your home experience. When applied correctly, lighting can create an illusion of space and depth. And with a centralized lighting control system, it’s easier than ever to customize and adjust lighting settings. 

Here’s how upgrading your home’s lighting can benefit your Southlake, TX, home. And to learn more about lighting control and design, contact Texadia Systems here! 

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. Lutron systems let you control every lighting fixture and motorized shade in your house, automating the ambiance automatically through sensors and schedules. 

With a lighting system, you won’t have to take out your app every time you want to use a bulb and change the color. Lutron knows your preferences and will adjust the lights based on your routine, responding to voice commands or pre-programmed scenes. 

How does Lutron work? As a certified Lutron dealer, we’ll share all you need to know about total lighting control below. And to learn more about installing Lutron lighting in your Dallas, TX home, contact Texadia Systems here! We’re always open to new home projects. 

Want to Minimize Your Energy Usage While Staying Cool? 

Texas summers mean heat—and a lot of it. With temperatures often reaching triple digits, it’s nearly impossible to get through the season without the air conditioning switching on multiple times an hour - even at night! But as everyone knows, cooling costs can accumulate on your monthly electric bills while harming the environment.

What can one do? Sweltering at home to be eco-friendly isn’t a practical option. But when you own a smart home system with technology like Lutron shades, smart thermostats, and automated lighting, you’ll instantly save energy while keeping cool. 

If you’d like to optimize your Highland Park, TX home’s energy usage year-round, learn how smart home technology can help below. And to implement these solutions, 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. 

Let There Be (Smart) Lights in Your Dallas Home

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.

WHICH ROUTE SHOULD YOU TAKE? 

If you’re interested in a new lighting design for your home, you have two options: taking the do-it-yourself (DIY) route or hiring a professional lighting designer. While DIY may seem appealing due to lower costs, there is a trade-off. 

In this blog, we'll compare the pros and cons of each approach, highlighting the limitations of DIY lighting design and the benefits of working with a professional. Looking for lighting design services in the Southlake, TX, area? Contact Texadia Systems here! 

Discover All That’s Possible with Smart Home Lighting 

What if you could press a button on the wall that turns on not just one light—but several lights to your preferred brightness and color settings? It’s possible with a lighting control system that customizes where and how lights are illuminated. 

Unlike plug-and-play smart bulbs, a lighting control system is sophisticated enough to control your entire house. Controllers like Lutron and Control4 can sync hundreds of devices across your property. But what can it control? You may be surprised by how much it can do.

Read on to see what you can incorporate into your smart lighting system. And to bring lighting control to your Highland Park, TX home, contact our team here.
