Manage Your Light Effortlessly with a Lighting Control System

What’s one of the first things you do when you wake in the morning? For many, it’s flipping the light switch or turning on the bedside table lamp. Light is an integral part of our life, leading the way in the dark and helping us continue to live in comfort as night falls. But, like many things we get accustomed to, it's easy to take it for granted. 

Then, we arrive home from work to a dark house and wish our lights were on. We hear a sound outside at night and imagine our lights illuminating the source. We come home to a brightly lit interior and realize our kids have forgotten to turn off just about every light in the house. 

Fortunately, with today’s lighting control system, you can manage your lights throughout your home with one tap on a touchscreen or in-wall keypad, or let your home manage your lighting for you. Let’s see how it’s done and how our clients in Phoenix, AZ enjoy the latest lighting control.

Natural Light

Natural light is one of our greatest gifts. It brings beauty, warmth and, during the winter, it reduces our energy consumption, helping lower our electric bill while living a greener life. Unfortunately, it's also somewhat challenging to control. There's only so much time in a day to raise and lower shades throughout your home. 

A lighting control system changes that. Now, motorized shades can raise and lower throughout the day based on the temperature, time, and position of the sun. And, with one touch, you can raise or lower one shade or every shade in your home. As the level of natural light changes, so does the level of electric light, maintaining the perfect lighting in occupied rooms.

A Healthier Artificial Light

At Desert Sound & Security, we partner with Lutron, the industry leader in lighting control systems. In 2018, when they acquired Ketra, they brought a new and healthier approach to lighting homes. 

Their human-centric or circadian lighting transforms throughout the day, aligning with the colors of natural daylight. You wake to lights the color of the soft rising sun, experience cool blue-toned lights during the day that stimulate focused energy, and enjoy the soft amber lights of a setting sun in the evening, letting your body know it’s time for rest and relaxation.

A Welcoming Home

We can also program your lights to respond to your presence. Pull into the driveway, and your landscape and entryway lights welcome you home. Walk into a dark room, and your lights automatically illuminate. When everyone leaves a room, those same lights turn off. Motion sensors in your outdoor areas ensure light casts its glow on any unfamiliar movement. 

At Desert Sound & Security, we’re committed to providing our clients with the latest technology that makes life easier and more enjoyable and enhances their daily activities.
