Redefining Your Home’s Illumination with LED Lighting

Express Yourself Through Light

When you walk into your home in Southlake, TX, what’s the first thing that catches your eye? In many homes, it may be the furnishings and décor or how the various textures and architectural lines come together. However, above and beyond these objects is light. This one element influences everything, from the ambiance to your family’s well-being.

Traditional lighting was concerned with safety and enabling a 24/7 lifestyle. Today’s LED lighting is an artistic expression, letting you use lights like paint that can change in a moment. The touch of a button creates the desired mood, brings natural light indoors, and contributes to a better sleep-wake cycle. 

Here, we’ll explore the possibilities the latest lighting system brings.

Personalized Self-Expression

Light impacts nearly every aspect of a room, including the mood, color scheme, and how spacious or cozy it feels. Standard lighting fixtures remain one tone, creating an ambiance that never changes. Humans, however, are anything but unchanging. Our moods, desires, likes, and dislikes all transform, and our lighting should reflect that.

Fully tunable LED light fixtures let you control the color temperature, hue, saturation, and intensity, dialing in your lighting to the nth degree. Whether greeting the morning with yoga asanas and lights the color of sunrise or celebrating a milestone with friends and family blanketed in shades of gold, emerald, and sapphire, you can do this and more with the limitless power of light and color.

Human-Centric Light

Exposure to natural light regulates the body’s biological processes. It prompts the production of varying hormones and neurotransmitters that define how we feel, our energy levels, and how soundly we sleep. Because we spend most of our time indoors, that connection with nature is diminished, resulting in a disrupted sleep-wake cycle.

Today’s advanced LED lighting systems possess a “Natural Light” selection that aligns with the sun’s transitions and the light outside your windows. You wake to lights resembling the sunrise and watch as they transition to a pale, blue-toned light during the day, illumination that prompts focused attention. In the evening, they’ve settled into warmer hues, a soft amber glow that triggers melatonin—the hormone that prepares your body for sleep.

The result is a balanced internal time clock, realigned with the natural light that manages its many physical changes. 

A Greener Home

LED lighting edged its way into our homes and businesses because of its beauty, cost savings, and sustainability. Studies by the U.S. Department of Energy revealed that LEDs use 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs, reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. 

LED lights also last a long time, with each bulb illuminating your home for anywhere from 25,000 to 50,000 hours, much longer than incandescent and even CFL bulbs. This means fewer bulbs in landfills and reducing the resources used in manufacturing and transportation. And, unlike CFL bulbs, they do not contain toxic mercury.
