Discover the Magic Behind Lighting Automation

Illuminate Your Home Beautifully and Effortlessly

In today’s smart homes, managing light has become an elegant affair. Beautiful, custom-engraved keypads come in bronze, glass, and onyx, with backlit buttons that illuminate in the dark. Each button creates the ideal lighting for your home for all of life’s occasions, whether cooking, dining, relaxing, or entertaining.

A touchpad by the side of the bed lets you turn off all the lights after you’re safely tucked in. When you hear a sound in the middle of the night, you turn on the security lights and check your outdoor camera from the same touchscreen. 

Today’s intelligent lighting control offers incredible beauty and an ease of living once unimaginable. Lighting automation magnifies the experience a thousandfold. 

Here, we’ll explore what automated lighting provides homeowners in Portsmouth, NH, and how it affects their daily lives.

Dawn Arrives

Winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, will soon arrive. On that day, the sun’s light remains below the horizon until after 7:00 in Portsmouth, translating to households waking and preparing for the day in the dark. They reach for the bedside lamp, blinded by a bright white light that jars them from the last remnants of sleep.

There is a better way.

Today’s automated lighting provides Natural Light, a setting that automatically illuminates your home in the soft golden glow of dawn. Scheduled to brighten when you rise, you wake to beautiful light that aligns with the natural world. As the day progresses, the light transforms, seemingly filling your home with sunlight midday before settling into the colors of sunset by nightfall.

The Perfect Illumination

These lighting systems manage both natural and electric light. Motorized shades adjust throughout the day, maintaining the ideal sunlight and privacy levels. They close to protect your home from harmful UV rays and open when filtered sunlight brings a soft, luminous glow. When evening descends, they close, ensuring privacy.

The lights throughout your home respond, brightening or dimming based on the level of natural light. In unoccupied rooms, the lights turn off. When you enter a room, they brighten. And, when you leave your home for the day, every light turns off and the shades lower.

Welcome Home

The shortest day of the year sees the sunset just after 4:00. For many, that means returning to their homes after a day’s work in the dark. Automated lighting systems change that using geofencing. 

When you pull into your driveway, your smart home knows. In response, it brightens the landscape lights and turns on the entryway and kitchen lights. A soft trail of unseen lights illuminates the way down a once-dark hallway to the bedroom. These same lights brighten when the little ones wake in the middle of the night and head down the hallway to your bedroom.

Today’s lighting automation is more than effortlessly managing your light. It’s about security, safety, peace of mind, and a staggering beauty that reminds us of the power of light.
