Optimizing Natural & Artificial Light with Whole-Home Lighting Control
Do you remember the last dinner party you hosted? Before everyone arrived, were you adjusting the lighting in each room to create the perfect atmosphere? Did you raise the shades facing the backyard so your beautiful landscape lighting would serve as a stunning backdrop?
A home’s lighting sets the stage for all the activities you enjoy there and the moods that change according to the day and the season. If your lighting has grown stagnant and you’re still flipping switches and pulling on shades, it’s time for a change.
In fact, one day, these methods for managing natural and artificial light will likely be obsolete.
Are you ready for a modern approach to whole-home lighting control in your Montgomery County, MD, home? From the press of a button to a voice command, how we illuminate our homes is nothing if not awe-inspiring.

Why is this important? Today’s smart lighting requires a customized approach, one that integrates design, engineering, and programming. It’s a home that responds with one touch of a keypad or touchscreen, changing the lighting and adjusting the automated shades effortlessly. This type of lighting requires a personalized touch.
Press an elegant keypad when having friends over for a dinner party, and the lighting throughout your home and outdoor areas creates the ideal ambiance. Do you want to celebrate the changing season? Your lighting can mirror the beauty of Autumn, illuminating spaces, artwork, and outdoor settings in shades of amber, gold, and crimson.
An Automated Approach to Living
In addition to an elevated atmosphere and enhancing the beauty of your home, a lighting control system is programmed to provide ease in everyday living. The shades open in perfect synchronicity at dawn, as lights that match the golden blue of a rising sun brighten.
When you leave for the day, the lights automatically turn off and the motorized shades lower. Is your fiddle-leaf fig in need of direct sunlight? You can open the shades and adjust the lighting from anywhere in the world via your mobile device and smart home app.
When you return home at the end of a long day, pulling into the driveway prompts your landscape, entryway, and kitchen lights to brighten. When you’re heading out for a long weekend, your lights and shades continue to adjust, just as if you were at home. This simulates your presence and serves as a strong deterrent to potential intruders.
Today’s lighting has come a long way since the light switch was invented over 100 years ago. Are you ready to experience breathtaking illumination, with the perfect balance of natural and artificial light? Imagine creating an ambiance that evokes the magical and ethereal quality of the golden hour—the time of day photographers eagerly await.
The quest for a perfectly illuminated home lies in whole-home lighting control. To learn more about our approach to smart lighting or to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact A.B.E. Networks today.
