TUNABLE WHITE LIGHTING
Lighting has the power to affect your mood. Tunable white light can help you navigate this phenomenon by supporting your natural circadian rhythms. Exposure to harsh fluorescent lighting in your office or being inside all day leaves our bodies craving more natural lighting. You may even be familiar with the Night Mode on your smartphone, which removes harsh blue light from the screen to help you fall asleep.
To support your natural cycles in the morning, wake up to dim, warm lighting that mimics natural sunlight. While working on tasks in your home during the day, cooler tones will boost productivity. As you wind down in the evening, your lighting system can dim in order to mimic the light of the lowering sun.
SET THE MOOD WITH COLOR AND DIMMING
Introducing a smart lighting system into your home gives you unique customization opportunities beyond tunable white lighting. With the tap of a finger on a custom-etched metal wall keypad that perfectly matches your interior décor, you can dim the lighting in your kitchen and dining room to set the mood for a romantic dinner for you and your partner. Or, you can use your smart device to change the color of your outdoor patio lighting at your next party. Setting the mood has never been easier.
PROGRAMMED SCENES
If you’d prefer to go a step further than on-demand control of every light in your home by using a smart device, custom wall keypad, or touchscreen, then pre-programmed scenes and motion sensors are for you. You can program your outdoor lighting to an astronomical clock, so lights turn on at dusk and turn off at sunrise.
Imagine creating customized scenes, personalized to your family’s lighting control preferences. Initiate a Good Night scene that arms your security system, turns off all interior lights, turns on exterior lights, and locks your smart locks. Lighting systems work in conjunction with the rest of your smart home technologies in one comprehensive system.
