At the Home Office

Remote work has become part of everyday life, and having a dedicated workspace at home is essential to remain engaged and productive. So, how can lighting design contribute to a more efficient home office? Tunable white LED lights, designed to mimic sunlight and optimize your body’s circadian rhythm, are part of the answer! Setting light temperatures to a cool white, for example, leads to an increase in heart rate, focus, and cognitive function, all of which contribute to greater productivity! With an automation system in place, the lights could also respond to exterior conditions, giving you optimal illumination for any occasion and time of day. 

When Feeling Blue

Sometimes, it feels virtually impossible to get out of bed. Whether it is because you are tired or feeling under the weather, tunable lights and motorized shades can help! Opposite to what we did at the home office, light in warmer temperatures contributes to a lower heart rate, better sleep, and faster recovery times. All it takes is one tap on the screen—or a voice command if you prefer Josh.ai—and your bedroom will turn into a place ideal for rest and relaxation. 

In the Media Room

In spaces like media rooms and home theaters, where system integration is key, lighting design plays a central role in creating a cinematic experience. From sconces and downlights to path lights on each step and seating row, wiring with a professional designer will get you the most of your at-home entertainment! 

A More Efficient Home

Lighting design must also take energy efficiency into consideration. That’s why our team of installers will integrate lights, shades, and thermostats into a smart climate control system, which you can both operate remotely and program to turn on automatically.
