Light Pathways with Motion Sensors

With landscape lights incorporated into your lighting control system, you can easily illuminate pathways for trick or treaters to safely walk up your driveway to the right front door.  A smart technology integrator can help you connect lights to motion sensors so that as kids and families approach, lamps will automatically turn on like a Harry Potter spell. This feature can also be used in your everyday life. From your smartphone or tablet, you can create a schedule so that exterior lights turn on automatically at sundown. With programmable settings, you’ll select the right balance of brightness to make your home look its best.

Fun with Full-Color Tuning

Rather than replace your home’s bulbs every time you want to get festive, Lutron’s full-color tuning allows you to adjust your lights’ color through an intuitive slider on the app. Set your house’s lights to ghoulish green, pumpkin orange, or witchy purple. This can be used for other holidays too, like Christmas, New Year’s Eve, the Fourth of July, or any celebration.

Color tunable LEDs have been used for years in the theater, and now the technology is available to homeowners. Color tuning involves advanced controllers that interpret digital signals to regulate the current in individual LEDs. It’s a complicated system to arrange, as it includes multiple control interfaces and requires a well-documented sequence of operations. But a lighting expert is fully capable of helping you create a system that allows you to tune the color of your lights in one touch of a button.
