Whole Home Lighting: How Smart Lighting Should Be

Control Your LED Lights & Shades from One Intuitive System

Following the news that incandescent bulbs are now banned in the U.S., more people than ever are looking into smart LEDs to achieve the warm glow that made incandescent bulbs so popular. Smart LEDs not only provide cozy, golden hues but also any shade of white and many colors of the rainbow, depending on the brand you purchase. 

While these plug-and-play smart bulbs are fun to use, they aren’t convenient in a whole-home application. Mixing smart bulbs from different manufacturers means you’ll be stuck with different apps and remotes just to change the color or dim your lights. 

A more efficient approach is to install a whole-home lighting system like Lutron. Lutron connects all your lights, motorized shades, and other home technologies into one simple interface. Let's delve into the distinct advantages that whole-home lighting control brings to your living spaces in Lake Geneva, WI.

With a centralized lighting system, your options are no longer limited to ‘on’ or ‘off’ or even ‘dim.’ Instead, you can select buttons like “Morning,” “Movie Time,” “Dinner,” and “Night” that adjust LED lights to the perfect lighting conditions. 

Whether that’s illuminating the cabinets and table in warm, amber lights for dinner or backlighting the TV with a purple glow, Lutron lighting scenes display your preferences with a single command. Ready to return the lights to normal? Tap “Natural,” and your home’s lighting can return to your preferred natural setting.
