THE PROBLEM WITH LIGHTING

Your lighting system is probably the most-used technology in your home. When you wake up in the morning, you likely turn on a fixture. If you want to read at night, you do it by the light of the nearest lamp. And when it’s time to fix a midnight snack, you do it in a well-lit kitchen.

Artificial light makes our lives better, and recent advances in types of light have enhanced our experiences. Where fluorescent systems contributed to the sick building syndrome of the 1970s, and incandescent bulbs increase your carbon footprint, LEDs have revolutionized both the quality and environmental impact of residential lighting.

But too much exposure to artificial light -- no matter what kind -- can throw off your internal clock. Your body naturally reacts to the subtle changes of sunlight throughout the day. As the sun rises, the light is brighter, and you're ready to move. As it sets, you begin to relax and prepare for sleep. However, the consistent glow of a bulb or fixture can negatively impact these natural circadian rhythms, causing you to lose sleep and become sluggish during the day.

HOW TUNABLE LIGHTING HELPS

A tunable lighting control system works by automatically mimicking the changes in natural sunlight. By adjusting the color temperature of each fixture gradually throughout the day, your body experiences a more natural response to artificial light.

SMART LIGHTING FOR BEAUTY

If you want your decor to stand out, you need to bathe it in bright, white light. That's precisely what you get from integrated LED fixtures. LED, unlike fluorescent or incandescent bulbs, offers natural-looking light for any room. LED fixtures can be installed within the ceiling, so you don't have to clutter rooms with lamps and other light fixtures. 

Additionally, LED accent lights can help craft an elegant looking space by highlighting some of the room’s best features.

Once everything’s installed, a single, easy-to-use system controls all of the lights in the room. Dimming, adjusting the color temperature, hue, and more happens with just a few swipes on a tablet or smartphone.

 Your clients can even set scenes that you help them define, by raising and dimming the lights throughout the room to emphasize its best parts. Once you’ve found a look that works, you can save the scenes so they can return to it instantly, any time.
