Discover the Benefits of a Smart Home Lighting System

Simplify your lighting while you tailor them to your needs

When you hear “smart home lighting,” you may think of smart bulbs or telling Alexa to turn the lights off, but a fully integrated smart home lighting system is so much more because it allows you to sync your lighting to your lifestyle and schedule. 

Imagine your lights automatically dimming when you kick back to watch a movie or adjust their temperature to match the time of day. Read on if you’re interested to know how this and more is possible in your Bay Area home.

Your Lights Sync to Your Needs

You can control your lights anywhere in your home using a customized wall panel, tablet, remote, or even your smartphone. For example, you can turn lights off, adjust brightness in a particular room, or even change the light’s color and temperature. To make things even easier, brands like Lutron or Savant allow you to effortlessly set the perfect lighting scene in your home with the press of a button.

Here are a few examples:

• Your bedroom lights can gradually brighten at sunrise to help energize you in the morning. 
• When it is time to start work, the lights in your home office can turn on and adjust to a cooler color temperature that encourages concentration.
• As the day turns to night, your interior lights can gradually warm and dim to match the colors of sunset and facilitate relaxation.

You Can Go Wired or Wireless

With a smart home lighting system, you can choose a wired or wireless lighting solution. This means that you can find the right control for your needs, no matter if you are building from the ground up or just doing a minor renovation without the need for rewiring, reducing time and labor costs.

Whether you go wired or wireless, you’ll be able to control all your lighting fixtures with an intuitive touchscreen, an app on your phone, elegant wall controls, and voice commands.

Making Use of Human-CentricLighting 

Light plays an important role in our circadian rhythm – the internal clock that tells our body when it is time to sleep or wake. In the morning and afternoon, our bodies produce cortisol to help us wake up and feel energized because sunlight is cooler and brighter. Then, our bodies produce melatonin to help us sleep because sunlight is warm and dim in the evening. 

Using human-centric lighting to mimic the color temperature and intensity of sunlight as it changes throughout the day will help you sleep better at night and feel more energized during the day. To achieve this, you can set up scenes like the ones outlined above or even set up your system to automatically adjust your lighting fixtures as sunlight changes throughout the day.
