The Incredible Features in Today’s Lighting Automation

Save Energy While Creating Beautiful Easy-to-Control Lighting 

Some of you may remember the “Clap On, Clap Off” commercial that showed people clapping their hands twice to turn on and off their lights. While hard to imagine in today’s high-tech world, it’s still being manufactured after almost 40 years.

Times, however, have changed. The latest home lighting automation offers much more than simple control of your light bulbs. Now, your lights automatically transform around you throughout the day, greet you when you return from a long day at work, and create a magical ambiance for gathering with friends and family.

Let’s look at how the latest smart lighting is transforming homes in Brentwood, TN.

Beauty Redefined

At Prodigy AV, we partner with industry leaders who remain on the cutting-edge of technology. Lutron’s Ketra offers the world’s most advanced lighting solutions with LED bulbs that can transform into every color in the visible light spectrum. Splash a wash of arctic blue throughout your bathroom, highlight your treasured art in colors that reveal the depth of its beauty, and bring your water features to life with underwater lights the color of the Mediterranean Sea. 

This same lighting can also be set to mimic the changing color of daylight. You’ll awaken to light the color of the sun’s soft morning rays and watch as your lighting transforms around you throughout the day. The bright, energizing light of midday promotes productivity, while the amber glow of a setting sun lets your body know it’s time for rest and relaxation. 

Increased Safety

Automated lighting allows you to program your lights to respond to different scenarios. For example, tap the "Away" button, and varying lights can turn on and off at preset levels and times throughout the day, making it look like you’re home while using very little energy. This is a much better option than leaving the same light on 24/7.

We can also program certain lights to illuminate when you pull into the driveway, such as your front landscape and entryway lights. 

Reducing Your Carbon Footprint

It’s estimated that, by 2035, 84% of all lighting installations will use LEDs. One of the reasons for the increasing demand is that this type of lighting is highly efficient. Energy.gov reports that LED bulbs use at least 75% less energy than incandescent lighting and last up to 25 times longer. For example, Lutron's Ketra LED bulbs can last up to 30 years. 

We can also program your lights to automatically turn off when occupants leave a room, further reducing your energy usage and carbon footprint.
