Your Lighting, Your Control: 5 Ways Intelligent Lighting Improves Life

Lighting can be so much more than illumination, it can be a lifestyle. We live in a time period where we can actually modify our day by light, how? Let's get into 5 ways that intelligent lighting improves life.

1. Wintertime:

Intelligent lighting is all about making your life easier and better. This means that it should be a benefit not a hassle. You know what's a hassle? The sun setting at 4:00 PM in the winter, totally throwing off your entire motivation to get through the evening! This doesn't have to be a problem though! With intelligent lighting, you can program all of your lights to modify your day, keeping it well lit till YOU are ready to have the sun set. By matching your light temperature and brightness to the early afternoon, you can come home from work and continue your day a little longer, giving you a little more energy to get up the drive to head to the gym.

2. Waking up:

Or next scenario, you want to start getting up earlier in the morning, but it's just sooo dark out. Simple fix, program your lights to slowly turn on with a warm light simulating the sun rising, gently waking you up, at whatever time you need!

3. Weather:

Maybe it's a rainy gloomy day, with no sunshine or light in sight...no need to get depressed, simply program the lights to imitate a sunny bright day! The lights will simulate a warm light that will help you stay motivated to get through the day and energize you to get those chores done!

4. Sleep:

Ok what about winding down? Say you get home from a stressful day, and you just need to relax. You can program your lights to start dimming and change the temperature to imitate a more candlelit glow as soon as you walk into your house. This warm lighting is known to improve relaxation and sleep, setting your circadian rhythm on track for a peaceful night.

5. The Natural Show

Last scenario is what if you want to just match the inside of your home/office with the outside?? What does that mean? Well say you work from home or in an office and there is just terrible natural light, not enough windows or it's not sun facing...Ketra has this amazing technology that allows your lights to match the exact light temperature and brightness that it is outside to make sure you get exactly the light you should. How is this possible? The lights use satellites to determine your exact location to be able to attune to the time, weather, and match the lights to exactly what's happening outside. This means soft light at sunrise, leading into bright light during morning early afternoon when sun is at its peak, then slowly dimming and growing warmer with the sunset. The whole sun cycle in your home!

The possibilities are endless, when it comes to what intelligent lighting can do for your home. Call today to chat about your project or to set up an appointment to check out how this all works in person!
