3 Powerful Ways Home Lighting Control Improves Your Lifestyle

Let’s be honest, Wisconsin weather can be a bit unpredictable at times. However, during the summer months we’re usually blessed with a fair amount of warm, humid, and sunny days.

Lighting control helps you harness all the natural light possible, and tone it down when it feels overbearing. Motorized shades are a smart feature that can help protect your interior furnishings from the sun’s harmful UV rays and excess heat.

At specific scheduled times of the day or with the assistance of automation from sensors, your smart shades can be drawn when the sun is high in the sky, and then opened up later in the day to let more light in.

With lighting control, you can have the perfect mix of natural and artificial light. When you add smart thermostats and temperature sensors, you can have a complete smart solution that saves energy and increases your home's comfort.

With the help of smart lighting, you can set the perfect ambiance for any activity. Imagine having a custom keypad on your kitchen wall with a button simply labeled "cooking."

With a single tap,  your kitchen island and under-counter lights instantly shine to their brightest setting. At the same time, your favorite Spotify cooking playlist kicks in at the ideal volume, thanks to multi-room audio.

When it's dinnertime, a special dinner lighting automation turns down your kitchen lights, softly lightens the dining area, and switches the music to a relaxing background instrumental.

At the end of the evening, one button sets your hot tub to your desired temperature, lights up the patio and the garden around it, and plays a little Frank Sinatra on your outdoor speakers for a soothing soak before it’s off to bed.

When you get down to it, lighting has always provided a sense of safety. More often than not, bad things tend to happen when it’s dark over when it’s light.

Beyond just the lighting itself, your home security system becomes even more powerful when you integrate smart lighting control.

Imagine you have an intelligent security camera that triggers your smart lights to turn on brightly when unexpected motion occurs, startling a potential intruder.

Smart lighting can also assist in emergencies. If the smoke alarm were to go off in the middle of the night, your smart home lighting could light helpful paths to exit, and flash the outside lights so first responders can quickly find your property in a dark neighborhood.
