The Impact Lighting Control Has On Sustainable, Luxurious Living

Creating a Greener, Elevated Lifestyle

California continues to lead the way in sustainability, innovation, and elevated living. But with rising energy costs and ever-evolving building standards, homeowners are increasingly seeking solutions that are not only eco-conscious but also effortlessly elegant. 

Automated lighting systems—featuring daylight sensors, occupancy detection, and smart dimming—offer a seamless blend of energy efficiency and modern design. They optimize your home’s lighting based on how you live, reducing waste without compromising luxury. 

In essence, they offer elevated sustainability. 

Here, we’ll explore the latest lighting control systems and how they’re creating greener, more beautiful, and luxurious homes.

The Luxury of Automated, Sustainable Lighting

Today’s automated lighting responds based on your presence, the time of day, or the activity at hand. It works with motorized shades, ensuring the ideal lighting remains when shades lower to block the heat of the day or rise to let in the beauty and health benefits of diffuse sunlight. 

This technology uses photocell sensors to determine the level of natural light entering a room. In response, artificial lights dim or turn off when enough sunlight enters a home. Called daylight harvesting, it reduces energy consumption while taking advantage of all the benefits natural light brings. 

Studies show numerous health benefits associated with increasing the natural light in your home, including: 

• Promoting a better sleep-wake cycle 

• Boosting moods through the production of serotonin and endorphins

• Increasing productivity

This system also manages the light for you, turning lights off when everyone leaves a room and turning them on when you arrive. Geofencing prompts lights to turn on as soon as you pull into your driveway after dark. 

Designed for a Changing Lifestyle

Consider all the activities that occur in your home every day. Then add the changing moods and your family’s preferences. How can one lighting system accommodate that kind of lifestyle?

The Power of LEDs

Most smart lighting systems take advantage of the latest technology found in today’s LEDs. This includes high-performance lighting and reduced energy usage. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, LEDs use up to 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs.
