LED Light Fixtures Offer Beauty, Fun, and Reduced Energy Usage

Imagine waking to lights slowly brightening, resembling the color of the rising sun. As the day progresses, the lighting transforms around you, mimicking the color of the changing light outdoors. Brighter blue-toned hues promote focused awareness midday, while warm, amber-colored lights tell your body it's time to rest when the evening arrives.

Because you’re having friends over for dinner, you tap the “Entertainment” icon on a touchscreen. The lighting in your dining area illuminates to the color of golden candlelight. At the same time, the water features light up in the colors of the Mediterranean Sea, and your patio lights sparkle in shades of moonlit-violet. 

With today’s LED light fixtures, almost anything is possible. Gone are the days when your only choices were soft or bright white lights. Today’s dynamic LED lighting offers every color in the visible light spectrum—over 16 million colors of light to choose from, and all from the same source.

Let’s explore the many features of LED lighting and how it’s transforming homes in Altadena, CA.

Creating a Greener Home While Reducing Energy Usage

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, about 40% of all the energy consumed in the U.S. is used to generate electricity, making it a significant source of CO₂ emissions. The good news is that LED lights dramatically reduce our energy consumption. 

The U.S. Department of Energy reports that residential LEDs use up to 75% less energy than incandescent lighting and last up to 25 times longer. It’s projected that the energy savings by 2035, when most lighting installations are expected to use LEDs, will equal a yearly energy output of over 92 1,000 MW power plants.

The Designer’s Dream

Today, we can change our lighting for any task, mood, and occasion. Tune into your inner artist, and treat your lights like a palette of colors—a splash of amethyst in the living room, icy arctic blue in the bathroom, and a touch of coral in the kitchen. These lights can bring out the best in your artwork and architectural elements and create cozy retreats when it’s time to relax.

Smart Home Integration

When integrated with your Savant home automation platform, you experience effortless control. Dial in the perfect color of lights in every room and outdoor area, then save it in preset scenes. The ideal lighting environment is set for relaxation, dinner, gatherings with friends and family, waking up, exercising, and outdoor barbeques. 

Even Better? This same platform controls your lighting, climate, entertainment, security, and more, which means your preset scenes manage all these systems simultaneously. When you press the entertainment icon, not only do your lights change, but your favorite “Party” playlist streams through your home and outdoor areas, the gas firepit ignites, and the doors unlock to welcome your guests.
