Creating the Ideal Ambiance with Today’s Lighting Control

Can I Automate Lighting Scenes to Suit My Daily Routines and Special Events? 

When you walk into a home where the lighting is just right, it can almost take your breath away. Filtered sunlight streams through the windows, bringing the natural world indoors. The fine artwork calls to you, highlighted in such a way that it invites you to venture closer and enjoy its beauty. Pendant lights over the kitchen island enhance the architectural style while providing illumination resembling candlelight.

It's clear that the lighting was considered an essential part of the design, as much as the furniture and other interior elements. 

But how do you maintain this level of illumination? Who has the time to dim, brighten, and adjust it? And who wants the wall of light switches affecting their home’s aesthetics? And so, our lighting remains stagnant, and we miss out on the magic of stunning illumination.

Today, there is a better way. It’s called a lighting control system, and it makes managing your home’s lighting effortless, so effortless that your smart home does it for you. Here, we’ll explore how automated lighting is taking the world by storm and transforming how we illuminate our homes in Ottawa, ON.

Smart Home Automation Vs. Control

There’s a significant difference between control and automation. One requires pressing a button or using a voice command. The other operates automatically, changing your home’s environment based on the time of day, pre-programmed settings, or sensors. With a smart home system, you can oscillate between control and automation, depending on your preferences. 

At Lucent Controls, our automation experts take the time to learn your daily routines and the special events that make up your life. Then, we program your smart home to create the ideal environment. 

A Day with Automated Lighting

Your smart home nudges you awake by opening the motorized shades. Soft lighting, the same colour as the sunrise, brightens your bedroom and illuminates the way to the bathroom and kitchen. The undercabinet and pendant lights in the kitchen highlight the counters in a gentle glow.

Jarring, bright white lights have given way to lights that mimic the colour and intensity of the natural light outside your windows. And on it goes throughout the day. In the home office, the lights brighten as you enter, a white-blue hue that promotes productivity. In the evening, the lights transition to the colours of sunset, a soft, warm glow that promotes relaxation. 

Throughout the day, the lights turn off in unoccupied rooms and dim when the shades automatically open. When someone arrives at night, the landscape and walkway lights welcome them.

Lighting for Special Occasions

Your personalized lighting system sets the scene for the many activities that make up your life. From reading to preparing a meal and enjoying movie night with the family, your lighting creates the ideal ambiance. 

Do you regularly entertain? We’ll determine exactly how you want every light for these special occasions and then program the “Entertain” button to deliver it with one touch. With today’s advanced LED lighting systems, you can access all the limitless hues in the visible light spectrum, enabling you to illuminate your home in miraculous ways.
