Smart Lighting Basics

Let’s start with the fundamentals of custom lighting.

It might seem obvious, but a lighting solution consists of more than just on-and-off switches and incandescent bulbs.

For starters, we recommend including LED lighting throughout your home for longer bulb lifespans and increased energy efficiency.

Mainly, though, our clients love that they can dim any light to their preferences.

How can they achieve this? They can use an in-wall keypad, a touchscreen panel – or even a smartphone or tablet application.

With the ability to customize their lighting, our clients can achieve the perfect lighting scene for any situation.

Occupancy Sensors

In the above section, we mentioned how your intelligent lighting system actually could limit energy consumption through utilizing LED bulbs.

You can also, however, include occupancy sensors that save you even more on energy spending.

Once we place one in a room, not only can lights turn on when someone enters – but they can also automatically turn off once the area is unoccupied.

That way, you don’t have to worry about having lights left on throughout your house.

Instead, you can enjoy the added convenience and peace of mind your lighting system provides.

Integrated Control and Automation

Perhaps the best component of a smart lighting solution is how comprehensive it can be.

You can include every light throughout your property in your automation and control system, meaning you truly can customize it to your preferences.

Sure, turning every light in your home off is as simple as just pressing a button.

Or you can schedule for lights in your master bathroom and the hallway leading to your kitchen to turn on automatically at your 7 a.m. alarm on weekdays.

But you can also create lighting scenes customized to your lifestyle.

For example, you can create a “Dinner” lighting scene that turns on your kitchen lights to maximum brightness but also turns on your dining room lights to 40 percent intensity – perfect for socializing with your family or guests.

That’s just one option, though. We’ll work with you to create customized lighting scenes that you find the most convenient.  

You then can have easy access to those commands by pressing a single button on your in-wall keypad, touchscreen or mobile application interface.

Smart lighting systems can add plenty of convenience to your lifestyle and value to your property.
