THE PURPOSE OF SMART LIGHTING
There's no denying that smart, automated lighting design and scenes are beautiful. They offer incredible visuals, adding depth and texture to your home environment. However, lighting can extend beyond just illuminating your space. Let's take a look.
ATMOSPHERE
Aesthetics and atmosphere are related terms, but they have different meanings. We know how lighting enhances your space's appearance (or aesthetics), but what about the atmosphere? How an atmosphere feels comes from a location's sensory and emotional experience.
At Hermary's, we create an atmosphere by considering lighting, sound, and color temperature. By making the necessary adjustments in intensity and direction, we can help you set a specific mood. Warm, dim lighting, for example, builds a cozy, intimate atmosphere, while bright, cool lighting aims for vibrant and energetic.
FUNCTIONALITY
Properly executed lighting design and automation improve the usability of any space in your home. Whether you plan to work, read, cook, or entertain, you can use a single device to adjust your lights for each activity. Warm, intimate lighting can welcome guests, while cool lighting can help you work. If you automate your lights to shift color and tone throughout the day, they will show you when it’s time for bed.
Additionally, lighting is helpful for security purposes. When you’re away on vacation, you can automate your lights to illuminate the house at night, tricking potential intruders into believing your home is occupied.
ENERGY SAVINGS
Advanced lighting designs and lighting control options from Hermary's help you optimize the use of natural light within your home. By placing your artificial lighting on a set schedule, you can ensure that lights switch on when it’s dark and turn off during the brightest part of the day, allowing natural light to flow through your windows. Lighting control systems also turn off the lights when you leave for work, further minimizing excess energy use.
