Enjoy Effortless Living, Beauty, and Wellness

Have you purchased one of the many smart light bulbs only to find it's not responding? You open the app, select a beautiful blue color, and sit in darkness.

But what we love more is sharing our passion, creating smart homes and lighting automation systems that bring effortless living, beauty, and wellness instead of frustration. 

Let's explore lighting automation and how it's transforming homes in Malibu and across California.

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.

How Lighting & Shading Improve Your Day – Morning to Evening

Learn How Circadian Lighting & Smart Window Treatments Elevate Your Living Experience  

Artificial light is usually used for one purpose: to help people navigate in their homes when the sun goes down. But natural lighting plays a much bigger role in our lives than that. Just think about it. Natural light isn’t static. It doesn’t maintain the same brightness and hue throughout the day. Instead, it changes, making colors come alive and creating a beautiful visual experience on any landscape. 

Most importantly, natural light promotes health and wellness. It stirs us from sleep, revives us throughout the day, and helps us relax as the afternoon sun turns to a calming amber hue. The good news is you can create the same experience in your Palm Desert, CA home with motorized shades and circadian lighting. Keep reading to see how to do it!
