Those Magic Changes: Switching to Smart Lighting Solutions

How Lutron Lighting Control Improves Your Home 

In this modern day and age, you wouldn’t use a boxy tube TV, would you? Not when there’s sleek 4K TVs on the market. And you wouldn’t use an old, clunky computer when there are much faster, sleeker Macs and PCs available. 

Everything changes with time: clothing, hairstyles, even food trends. So why are we still using the same lighting systems we grew up with—especially when much better solutions are available? 

Smart lighting systems transform the lighting experience with simpler, more convenient, and customizable options. A sophisticated lighting controller like Lutron allows you to control the entire house in unison, adjusting the appearance of your lights anytime. 

Let's dive into the benefits of Lutron’s smart lighting solutions and explore how they can transform your Atlanta home.

Precise Control of Lighting Color & Temperature

Before smart lighting, your rooms’ atmospheres were beholden to whatever bulbs you had screwed in. Whether that’s a bright, cool-toned light or a warm-hued light bulb, you’re stuck with whatever choice you made at the store. 

That all changes with a Lutron lighting control system. Lutron’s wired HomeWorks or wireless RadioRa3 systems allows you to remotely tailor your lighting to suit any mood or occasion—right from the Lutron app. Whether you want a warm, comfy ambiance for a movie night or a bright, cool light for productive work sessions, Lutron's system provides a wide spectrum of options. With just a few swipes on your smartphone or a voice command to your smart assistant, you can instantly change the color, temperature, and brightness level of your lights. 

Creating Smart Scenes with Lutron

Lutron takes convenience to the next level by allowing you to create customized smart ‘scenes’ within the app. Scenes control multiple lights or rooms simultaneously, so you can adjust your house’s mood in seconds. 

Imagine arriving home after a long day's work, and with a single tap on the wall, your lights dim to a soothing warm hue, your favorite music starts playing softly, and your Lutron motorized shades lower for privacy. 

With Lutron's smart scene feature, you can effortlessly orchestrate these scenarios. Tap a button labeled “Dinner,” and instantly, the lights dim and adjust for a romantic ambiance. Tap “Workout” in the home gym, and lights will create a bright and energizing setting. 

Lighting scenes can be automated to activate on their own, too. As the sun sets, an ‘Afternoon’ scene can automatically adjust your LED lights to a warm, golden tone to complement the sky outside. Lights can continue to dim and grow warm as the night goes on, so you enjoy a cozy ‘Night’ scene before bed. When you’re heading out for work the next morning, tap the ‘Away’ button, and instantly all your lights will power off as shades lower. 

Lighting is no longer about ‘on’ or ‘off’—it’s creating the perfect mood with convenience. 

Replace Switches with Elegant Wall Plates 

Lutron not only excels in functionality but also in design—and Lutron’s Alisse keypads are a testament to this. These beautifully crafted wall plates are more than just light switches; they’re a work of art that adds a touch of elegance to your home décor. 

Lutron’s Alisse keypads come in a range of exquisite old-world finishes and customizable button configurations, allowing you to create a design that complements your aesthetic preferences. These keypads seamlessly blend with your interior design, whether you prefer a modern, minimalist look or a more traditional style. They’ll not only control your lighting but also serve as a stunning focal point in your home.

Looking for something more traditionally modern? Lutron’s Palladiom keypads feature sleek rectangular or square buttons illuminated backlit by an LED light (for easy navigation in the dark). We can order custom buttons like “Dinner” or “Movie” that adjust your lights to the perfect color and brightness levels. 

The Alisse and Palladiom keypads are both wired to the Lutron control system. If you’re retrofitting your lighting system and need a wireless solution, the Sunnata RF wireless keypad is easy to assemble and features a clean, modern design.
