3 Benefits of an Automated Lighting System
Automated Lighting Systems Change the Look and Feel of Your Home
From a lighting system designed to help you wake up with a mimicked sunrise even in the winter to the ability to set mood lighting without ever touching a switch, automated lighting systems give you total control over your home’s look and feel.
Lighting plays such a critical role in how a room and a home feels. Bright lighting in one room might be appropriate or totally wrong depending on what you’re needing that day.
Lighting also can wreak havoc on your circadian rhythm if not handled correctly.
Here’s why you need a lighting automation system.

1. Change the Feel of a Room With the Press of a Button
If you’ve got guests over and want to set a scene, automated lighting makes it easy. With the push of a button, you can set the lighting for a laid-back mood while you share a drink and a quiet laugh or three with friends.
Or maybe you’re going to throw a huge party and want bright lighting that slowly fades as the night progresses to encourage guests to make their way home. You can set the lights beforehand and watch your handiwork evolve over the evening.
2. Automate Lighting to Match Your Circadian Rhythm
One of the biggest problems people face is that they’re not getting enough sunlight when spending time indoors. This can drastically affect people’s circadian rhythms and, in turn, their sleep cycles and wellbeing.
That is why most major lighting manufacturers are rolling out tunable fixtures. When linked with your lighting automation system, these lights adjust their lighting temperature to mimic sunlight. Enjoy cooler hues earlier in the day to get energized then transition to warmer ones in the evening to help you settle in for a night’s sleep.
3. Enhance Every Room of Your Home with Dimmable Lights and Save on Energy
Not every room in your house needs to have the highest quality smart lighting systems. Thankfully, Control4 has an affordable option for those rooms where you want smart lighting but don’t want to pay a premium price for a premium system.
What we love about Control4’s Essential Product line is that they’re budget-friendly and perfect for those rooms that get less traffic, like a garage or an attic.
Not only do these products have many of the features of some of the higher-cost products, like available color kits, but they’re as beautiful as any of Control4’s other lighting products, integrating seamlessly into your home’s aesthetic.
If you’re adding these smart products, you’re going to save on energy costs, especially if you and your family have the common habit of accidentally leaving the lights on in these areas—smart products will turn off once you leave the room and save you money over time.
