How Smart Lighting Can Influence the Way Your Home Feels 

Have you ever walked into a well-lit café or store and instantly felt happy to be there? You’re not the only one. Studies have found a correlation between light conditions and our emotions, showing that light can both positively and negatively impact our moods. After all, we’ve all noticed how gloomy it can feel during the darkest winter months.  

Knowing this, does the lighting in your house influence how you feel, too? 

As it turns out, your light bulbs’ brightness and color temperature can significantly affect your home's atmosphere and even the way walls, furniture, and artwork appear. If you’re illuminating your home with improper bulbs, it could negatively impact your environment and wellbeing. 

Many people use any light bulbs they can find, resulting in a mismatched collection of warm and cool lights. But there’s a new way to approach home lighting. Smart solutions like Ketra LEDs allow you to automate lights for an experience called tunable lighting. 

In this article, we’ll share all you need to know about tunable lighting, brightness and color settings, and how they can enhance your home in Beverly Hills and elsewhere in California.

More often than not, people search for smart dimmers in an attempt to beautify their spaces and get their homes ready for any occasion.

Here’s why smart LED lighting is better than traditional sources

Over the years, lighting systems have gone through several changes, with LED sources being the most popular type of lighting fixture today. 

Besides being durable and energy-efficient, smart lighting fixtures have countless other advantages to offer. Rather than simply illuminating your home, they add value to the lighting design through beautiful designs and advanced control features. 

By pairing smart fixtures with a lighting control system, you can double the benefits by improving the wellness and efficiency of your home.

Experience the difference a high-end sound system makes in your home

Whether listening to songs or podcasts, most people simply use their TVs, standard speaker systems, or mobile devices. They stream the audio content from platforms like Pandora or Spotify and go about their days thinking the music quality is the best it can be. But that is far from the truth. 

True music lovers want to listen to songs that are true to the source - audio that isn’t compressed but pure and full. If you’re in a similar boat, then you need a hi-fi audio system. High-end audio completely transforms your listening experience and makes musical entertainment so much more enjoyable. 

Read on to discover how adding a hi-fi sound system to your home in Los Angeles, CA, can elevate your listening experience.

How to add more entertainment to your home with a custom home theater

A movie is more than a script. Instead, it should be an epic tale that makes you feel like you’re part of the story. With that in mind, directors and cinematographers put in a lot of thought and effort to ensure the audio and video in a theater bring their creations to life. But when you watch these movies on your TVs, you don’t quite experience the same effects that the creators hoped for. 

The excitement, depth, and feel of every scene diminish when anything less than cinema quality is used to stream these movies. Fortunately, with a professional home theater design, you can bring the cinema experience home and watch all your favorite movies like they were meant to be seen.

Smart Lighting Transforms Your Home and How You Manage It

There was a time when our ancestors rose with the sunrise and retired when darkness fell. Today, thanks to our home’s lighting, we live a 24-7 lifestyle, sometimes rising before dawn and often heading to bed late into the night. During that time, we turn our lights on and off countless times. Or, we forget and return to a brightly lit home that our dog truly appreciated. 

There is, however, a better way. With smart remote lighting control, you can glance at your user-friendly home automation platform on a touchscreen or mobile device and see what lights are on. Then, one tap can turn off unneeded lights or switch off every light for movie night. Now, control of your lights is in the palm of your hand—whether relaxing on the couch or on a trip halfway around the world. 

Let’s explore smart lighting control and how it’s enhancing our clients’ everyday lives in Malibu, CA, and the entire state.
