Discover the Value Smart Lighting Can Bring to Your Home

Lighting can transform the way you, your family, and your guests experience your North Texas home. During the day, a too-dark room can feel claustrophobic; during movie night, glare from a too-bright light can ruin the film. To combat harsh or poorly lit areas of your home with a simple tap of your finger, a lighting control system is the perfect solution.

As the leading Lutron dealer serving University Park, TX, and the surrounding areas, Texadia Systems brings customized lighting and shading solutions to homes just like yours. To shine a light on the possibilities we offer with Lutron, connect with us using our online consultation form.

Automated window treatments and smart lighting work in tandem to craft the perfect ambiance and leave you feeling refreshed and productive, too. Read on below to learn three benefits of home lighting control!

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. 

LIGHTING DESIGN THAT SCREAMS ‘LUXURY’ 

Why is it that some home interiors look rather average while others inspire desire and excitement? What is it about some homes that look so luxurious? 

Often it's the lighting. Carefully designed lighting can work wonders in any space, transforming it into a luxury home. If you want your Highland, TX, home to exude charm, coziness, or opulence, here are five ways a professional lighting design achieves just that.

Is My Lighting Control System Outdated?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. 

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. 

Below, we explain why Lutron’s smart lighting and shading is the only choice for the modern home. And to find Lutron in Fort Worth, TX, contact Texadia Systems here. 

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.

Bring Energy & Vibrance to Your Office with a New Lighting Design 

Employers across the country are scrambling to make RTO (“return to the office”) a smooth transition for workers. Some are bringing new snacks into the office kitchen, while others offer a hybrid workweek.

But in our opinion, if you want people to love coming into the office, you need to create a comfortable and inspiring work environment. Alongside the furniture and wall colors you choose, meeting room lighting can make or break the experience of working for your company. 

With smart lighting control and a carefully planned lighting design, you’ll create an atmosphere that shakes the mundane and makes work an inspiring place for ideas and collaboration. Consider these factors for your Frisco, TX office’s lighting.

An Inside Look at Lutron’s HomeWorks Lighting Control Systems 

As a dedicated Lutron dealer in Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas, we’re always thrilled to introduce our clients to Lutron HomeWorks, Lutron’s most high-end control system. Lighting is such an integral part of any home, and it can transform the ambiance with just a few taps of your finger. For larger homes or those with many devices and fixtures, walking throughout the house to flip lighting switches on and off is a time-consuming task. Not to mention, traditional light switch plates are dull and boring. 

Luckily, upgrading your Texas home’s lighting introduces an easier and more luxurious living experience with one-touch command to all of your fixtures. If you’re interested in a lighting control system, read on to learn what makes HomeWorks the ultimate solution from Lutron.

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.

We’ll Share the Benefits—Then You Be the Judge.

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. 

Here’s what you can expect living with Lutron lighting and shading. And to learn more about Lutron for your Highland Park, TX home, contact Texadia Systems here for a free consultation!

Why DIY Smart Lighting Doesn’t Measure Up to Professional Control Systems  

Once you’ve experienced smart lighting at home, it’s hard to go back to the standard on/off light switch. With smart lighting, you can bathe rooms in any color and brightness imaginable, from the coziest candlelight hue to fun nightlife colors. 

Many homeowners are tempted to DIY smart lighting with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi-connected smart bulbs from Amazon or Best Buy. But they may be unaware that for seamless control and automation—even from miles away—you need a sophisticated smart system like Lutron or Control4. 

What’s the difference between a dedicated lighting system and DIY smart lights? We’ll compare both below, so you know what to expect for your lighting control.

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! 

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.

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. 

Rely Less on HVAC with Automated Window Shades 

With scorching hot summers and occasionally chilly winters, Dallas residents often rely heavily on air conditioning and heating systems to maintain a comfortable indoor environment. However, this constant need for temperature control comes at a cost: high energy bills and waste. 

According to the Energy Information Administration, the average household in Texas spends over $1,801 annually on energy bills, with a significant portion of that attributed to heating and cooling. Wouldn’t it be nice to use that money towards something else—a vacation, perhaps? Not to mention the environmental impact that energy consumption causes. Fortunately, there is a solution that can help you stay comfortable while saving money and reducing your energy—motorized shades.

Learn how motorized shades from smart home brands like Lutron can help your Dallas-Fort Worth home save energy automatically. And if you’re ready to bring motorized shading to your home? Contact Texadia Systems here to learn more. 

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. 

At the lower end, you’ll find DIY smart bulbs like the Philips Hue models that can be screwed into lamp fixtures and connected to your phone over Wi-Fi. But smart lighting can get much more sophisticated than this, with high-end Ketra lighting fixtures and Lutron systems that offer whole-home control. 

If you’re interested in lighting control, you have some options. Are you fine with lower-grade LED solutions or ready for luxury systems like Ketra? We compare both below to help you find the best option.

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. 

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! 

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. 

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.
