Smart Lighting Creates a Beautiful and Healthy Environment

People were undoubtedly amazed when the first modern light switch was invented in the 1880s. About 75 years later, Lutron, the world leader in lighting control, came out with the first dimmer switch. Today, our lighting transforms throughout the day based on available daylight and all we have to do is sit back and watch.

Smart lighting is one of the up-and-coming markets that is growing exponentially. From 2020 to 2030, the global smart lighting market is expected to quadruple, from about $11 billion to $44 billion. It’s safe to say that there will come a day when future generations need to search the history archives to find out what an "old-fashioned" light switch looked like.

So, what does that mean to builders, architects, and homeowners? It’s time to embrace the technology that's changing how we live our lives daily, helping us use light to create beautiful, healthy environments while saving energy. Let's look at how smart lighting control is transforming homes in Crystal Bay, NV.
