Discover the Beauty and Ease of the Latest Light Control Systems

Manage Natural and Electric Light Effortlessly

Business Insider came out with a report on technological gadgets that could be obsolete in a few decades. In addition to cable TV being replaced by online streaming, the 100-plus-year-old light switch made the list. Taking its place are smart lighting and voice-activated assistants.

Convenience and energy efficiency are two main reasons smart lighting is edging out the switch. Smart lighting systems let you pull up an app on a mobile device and control your lights from anywhere. 

Today's light control systems offer even more than one-touch, remote control of your lights. These systems set the ideal lighting based on activities and moods. Incorporating the latest tunable lighting also lets you enjoy Natural Light—a system that mimics sunlight. 

From scheduled events to multiple lights shifting simultaneously, the latest intelligent lighting systems are nothing if not extraordinary. Let's explore the technology that's transforming homes in San Mateo County, CA.

Natural Light Transformed

At Luxe AV, we partner with Lutron, the global leader in lighting control. Not only do their systems manage electric light, but they also control natural light via motorized shades. As they rise in the morning and natural light enters your home, electric light diminishes. Before the sun's direct rays start to harm your interior, the shades lower, and the lights brighten. 

You can also create natural light in your home by pressing a button. This lighting system replicates the color and intensity of the light outside your windows, creating a sensation of diffuse sunlight filling your rooms. As the sun lowers in the sky and amber hues take hold, the lighting in your home dims to match the outdoors. This form of lighting brings your body back into balance with the changing daylight and darkness that has affected humans for eons, increasing energy or enhancing sleep. 

Responding to Your Presence

These lighting systems also adjust based on your location. When you arrive home, indoor and outdoor programmed lights greet you. When you leave for the day, every light turns off. When you're gone for a long weekend, certain lights turn on and off, creating the illusion you are home. And when everyone leaves a room, the lights automatically turn off, reducing energy consumption and creating a greener home.

Supporting Your Home Security

Lighting has long played a part in a home's security. Now, instead of heading downstairs to turn on the lights when you hear a noise at night, you can turn on one or every light in your home and outdoors, including landscape and security lighting, from the touchscreen on the bedside table.

Press the 'Goodnight' button when it's time to retire, and all the lights turn off. If you just want to unwind for a bit, press 'Relax,' and the lights take on the soft glow of candlelight. 

At Luxe AV, we consider your lifestyle, activities, and preferences when creating a customized lighting control system that's effortless to manage and enjoy.
