Enhance Your Everyday Living with Effortless Control of Light

If you’re like many people, controlling your lights consists of flipping switches, an action that reveals the same soft or bright white light illuminating a room. We turn on the reading lamp when it’s time to settle down with a good book and dim the lights when watching a movie. These minor changes reflect our current task but do little to alter the aesthetics. 

Yet our lives are constantly in motion, enjoying a meal with the family, date night with our partner, a cocktail party with associates, and an evening garden party with neighbors and friends. These activities that define our days in Lafayette, LA, deserve more than lighting that’s become mundane. They deserve lighting designed for the occasion.

And that’s where smart lighting control comes in. 

Let’s explore what this technology offers and how it’s creating spaces of beauty, intrigue, and light.

Controlling Light

Intelligent lighting control consists of elegant, custom-engraved keypads and high-resolution touchscreens. A voice command can change the lights to a different color and dim them down 50%. Press the ‘Dining’ button, and the lights brighten to a golden yellow reminiscent of candlelight.

Automated programming manages your lighting without intention, formed by the time of day or a specific trigger. Wake up to lights resembling the rising sun. Pull into the driveway at night and find the entryway illuminated. When it’s time to retire, tell your smart home “Good night,” and a soft trail of lights illuminate the way to the bedrooms, slowly dimming until dark.

Creating a Greener Home

Lighting control is about more than ease and breathtaking beauty. It also reduces energy usage. When everyone walks out of a room, the lights automatically turn off. When you leave your home for the day, the lights dim. 

The natural light that illuminates the world is also under the system’s control. In the morning, your automated shades rise, letting in diffuse sunlight. The shades lower as the day warms up, and direct sunlight causes increasing heat and potential damage. In response, the lights brighten in occupied rooms. And on it goes, intuitively managing light to retain the ideal illumination. 

Enjoying a Healthier You

Press ‘Natural Light’ and your lighting shifts in intensity and color throughout the day, mirroring the light outside your windows. No longer disconnected from the natural world, your home appears filled with sunshine. By day’s end, a soft amber glow reflects the setting sun. 

Your body’s internal clock, set to the rise and fall of the sun since your ancestors hunted and gathered, comes back into balance. The result is a more relaxed evening, restful sleep, and focused energy during the day.
