Crafting the Perfect Environment One Light at a Time

There was a time when lighting design in Westlake, TX, was about ensuring the right fixture in the right spot. Today, lighting design involves much more. Color temperature and intensity, using natural light, and creating the perfect illumination for all life’s activities are taking the spotlight. The result is immense beauty and lighting that relaxes, energizes, and enhances everyday living.

Here, we’ll explore what lighting design means today and how automation plays a role.

A Personalized Approach

Highlighting your home’s unique features and artwork, adding task lighting for various activities, and enhancing a home’s overall aesthetics with ambient lighting have long been essential in layered lighting. This approach creates intrigue and enhances the three-dimensional space.

The latest design, however, takes a more personalized approach.

According to Dr. Fred Luskin from Stanford University, the average human thinks about 60,000 thoughts daily, approximately 90% of which are repetitive. So, if our environment reflects our thoughts, one would think lighting that remained constant, like our recurring internal meanderings, would suit us well.

The truth is that humans are anything but constant. While our mind may be in a state of repetition, our moods are changing, our desires fluctuating, and our moment-to-moment activities transitory. And our lighting, one of the most potent elements, should reflect that.

Today, it does. With today’s lighting controls and design, you can instantly change your environment. When having friends over to try your latest culinary creation, you might wish to emphasize drama and flair with splashes of indigo, vermilion, and sunrise yellow. One of the kids may want the colors of the rainbow to illuminate their birthday party. Date night may warrant a soft amber glow or a dose of golden candlelight. 

Think of the many activities and moods you experience in any given day. With the right programming and high-performance LED full-spectrum lighting, you can push a button and change the illumination to align perfectly.

Fostering Well-Being

Two of today’s popular lighting techniques include LED strips and natural lighting. LED strips find their way into coves, bookshelves, and under cabinets, providing light from an unseen source. You can instantly create the ideal mood with this stunning diffuse illumination. When you’re feeling a little down, the colors of the sunrise may be just enough to inspire and uplift you.

Natural lighting mirrors the changing color of the sun, the light seen through your windows. From sunrise to sunset, your home’s lighting changes in response to the external world. 

Imagine starting the day and enjoying your first cup of coffee or tea amidst lighting that reflects the warm glow of sunrise. This lighting balances your internal time clock set to the natural light of the sun for eons. In response, your sleep-wake cycle realigns, supporting wakefulness during the day and restful sleep in the evening.
