Those just entering the sphere of smart home living may think of home lighting automation as an app on their smartphone and a fancy bulb. However, today’s automated lighting systems are far more than that. They create an environment that aligns with the natural light of the world outside your windows. They let you brighten one or a group of lights, change the intensity and color, and set a scene for a special occasion with one touch on a custom-engraved keypad, touchscreen, remote, or with a voice command.

Smart lighting becomes intelligent when it acts on its own, creating the ideal environment from morning to night with no effort on your part. It’s a total lighting control system that manages daylight and electric light, privacy, and security while enhancing the beauty of your home and the well-being of those who live there. 

The power of today’s lighting technology is truly awe-inspiring.

To catch a glimpse of the changes it brings to homes throughout Agoura Hills, CA, let’s explore the system on a typical day and how it transforms the experience of light in your home.

Before You Wake

An intelligent home prepares itself for you in advance, creating the ideal environment while you sleep. An automated lighting system knows that the time the sun rises and sets changes as the Earth orbits around the sun and adjusts its schedule accordingly. As it peaks above the horizon, heralding the start of a brand-new day, specific lights throughout your home come alive, mirroring the same color as the rising sun. 

The near-silent window coverings slowly open, letting in the morning light that gently nudges you awake. You open your eyes, welcomed by an environment that reflects the light outside your windows, creating a space of beauty and well-being.

Throughout the Day

This ‘Natural’ light continues throughout the day, transitioning from the golden glow of dawn to the brighter, blue-toned hues of midday. This form of lighting reflects the color and intensity of sunlight, which affects the body’s hormones, energy levels, and health. It supports focused concentration during the day, bringing balance and beauty to each moment. 

When working in the home office, you press a button, and the solar screen lowers, reducing glare while allowing you to retain the beautiful views outside your windows.

As Evening Approaches

Dusk finds the exterior lights beginning to take on a soft glow. As family members arrive home, the entryway lights brighten, ensuring safe passage. Outside, the landscape lights have created an enchanting retreat where moonbeams and golden candlelight intermingle. 

Inside, when it’s time for dinner, the shades lower for privacy, and the lights transition to a soft amber glow. This lighting tells your body to relax and enjoy the unfolding evening. When it’s time for bed, you press the ‘Good Night’ button, and all the lights throughout your home slowly dim.
