3 Ways A Lighting Control System Will Enhance Your Home
Proper lighting control will add style, safety, and energy savings to your home
Lighting plays a central role in the ambiance of your home. When you have a simple lighting control system with just "on" and "off" functions, you miss out on the opportunity to further customize your home's décor. A smart light system allows you to adjust the intensity and the color of your lighting so that you can accent your décor beautifully.

Style
Don’t sacrifice aesthetics for function. Smart lighting can integrate seamlessly with your décor with the help of stylish control panels, engraved buttons, and screwless faceplates in the same material and color as the wall. Lighting can be harsh and glaring, and Colorbeam lighting allows you to adjust the intensity and color of your light. A dimming feature will enable you to have complete control of the strength of your light, ensuring that your décor is displayed in the best lighting possible. Adjust your lights from anywhere as the sun rises or sets.
Safety
A smart lighting system will also help to keep you safe. Most systems, such as Crestron and Control4, have a vacation mode that will randomly turn your lights on and off while you are out of town, deterring possible criminals from targeting your home. Outdoor lights can turn on automatically when there is movement so that you know if someone is on your property and can safely navigate from your car to the front door. When paired with a smoke sensor, your lighting control system will light the way to the exit if there is ever a fire.
Energy Savings
Lighting control allows you to save energy and cut down your electricity bill. Using a scheduling feature with Crestron or Control4, you can set your lights to automatically turn off when you leave for work in the morning, ensuring that you don't accidentally leave them on all day. If your kids often forget to turn off the lights when they depart from school, you can check to see if they are on through an app on your smart device and turn them off if need be. Even when they are on, you can conserve energy by dimming the lighting, which uses less energy and prolongs the life of your lightbulbs.
