A Whole-Home Lighting Control System Manages Your Lighting with One Touch

Whole home lighting control is one of the most popular smart home technologies. Gone are the light switches and dimmer controls and going from room to room, turning lights on and off. In their place are elegant custom-engraved in-wall keypads, touchscreens, and remotes. Now, with one touch, you control every light in every room. 

Did you forget to turn off a few lights when you left for work? Or, maybe you’re getting home later than expected and wish you’d left the security and front entrance lights on. Simply pull up your smartphone app from wherever you are in the world, and with one tap, it's done. As you can see, smart lighting control makes managing your home’s lighting in Tampa, FL, effortless. Let’s explore the possibilities.

Bringing Daylight Indoors

At AV Specialists, we partner with Lutron, the industry leader in lighting control. In 2018, they acquired Ketra, a brand that revolutionized dynamic full-spectrum lighting and produced the highest quality, most accurate natural light. 

This lighting transforms throughout the day, aligning with the natural colors of changing daylight. You experience the soft golden light of the early morning sun and bright blue-toned lights midday before your lights settle into the soft amber colors of a setting sun in the evening. Not only is this lighting beautiful, but it also helps align your 24-hour internal time clock, promoting focused energy during the day and relaxation at day's end. 

Total Lighting Control

Lighting control is about more than managing your electric lights. It also consists of managing daylight and integrating the two to create the perfect environment. When you incorporate motorized shades, your smart home maintains the ideal level of natural and artificial light. 

The shades raise and lower throughout the day based on the level of direct sunlight, scheduled settings, and temperature. In response to the amount of daylight, your lights dim or brighten. When someone leaves a room, these same lights automatically turn off.

Preset Scenes

One of our client's favorite features is preset scenes based on their lifestyles and daily activities. When your smart lighting is integrated into your Control4 home automation platform, one button manages multiple systems. For example, touch the “Outdoor Entertainment” icon on your touchscreen, and patio and landscape lights illuminate to preset hues. At the same time, your “Outdoor Party” playlist streams through your home and outdoor areas. 

Thanks to Lutron’s dynamic lighting, you have access to all the colors in the visible light spectrum. That’s nearly limitless shades in pastels and saturated hues. From soft golden candlelight to arctic blue, emerald green, and sky magenta, you can set the mood in one room or your whole home through the transformational power of light. 

At AV Specialists, we specialize in home automation and high-performance audio-video solutions.
