Should I contact a custom integrator after the plans are in place?
The best time to contact a custom integrator is before the plans and design are finalized. They provide valuable insight in the initial stages, including suggesting the best lighting control system for your preferences and lifestyle.
By joining the project early, they can work with designers and architects, ensuring seamless functionality and a stunning design. Additionally, when all wiring is installed while the walls are down, there's no need to tear out drywall or make other costly changes.
What are the layers of light?
Today's lighting design consists of three layers: ambient, accent, and task lighting. Each layer of light complements each other, adding depth, dimension, and mood. To achieve balance and harmony between all three is considered an art form.
The ambient lighting is considered general illumination. When illuminating your home, many designers and integrators look to natural light because of the beauty and well-being it provides.
To manage this light, we integrate motorized window coverings that automatically respond to the sun's changing position. Adjusting throughout the day, they protect your home from harmful UV rays while enhancing it with life-affirming sunlight. Common equipment used for additional ambient light include recessed lighting and overhead fixtures.
Accent lighting creates drama and visual interest. It draws your eye to specific areas, creating focal points like your favorite painting or texture. Wall sconces, picture lights, and track lighting are often used in this manner.
As the name implies, task lighting is specific to helping you complete your daily activities. From cooking to reading, it ensures you can see clearly. Under-cabinet lights and table lamps are popular choices for this type of lighting.
What is natural show light?
Today's advanced LED lighting systems enable you to use light like a painter uses a palette. You can access millions of colors, all available through the spin of a wheel and then saved to accommodate your life's activities.
Natural light fixtures are also a part of today's LED systems. These lights mimic the light outside your windows, changing as dawn turns to dusk. This instills a sense of bringing nature indoors, and in the process, aligns your internal time clock that's evolved under the changing illumination for eons.
We've only scratched the surface of people's interest in today's home lighting systems.
