Incorporating Smart Technology in Your Lighting Design

It's easy to take the things we use every day for granted. We get used to the convenience they offer, like the light switches that we flip on in the morning and off when we retire. Miraculously, the lights in our homes respond, enabling us to see in the dark and perform our daily tasks. We no longer need to sit around the hearth for light or place oil lamps around our homes. We’ve come a long way.

Today, lighting offers much more than functional capabilities. At Sierra Integrated Systems, we partner with Lutron, the industry leader in smart lighting. What started in 1959, with the invention of the first solid-state light dimmer, eventually became Lutron—the world leader and the first choice in lighting for the most prestigious architects and lighting designers. A few of the many places you’ll find Lutron lighting include The White House, the Getty Museum, and the Grand Hotel in Florence and Rome. 

Let’s explore what Lutron and our lighting design team can do for your home in Incline Village, NV.

Lutron’s Smart Shades Add Beauty, Security, and Enhanced Living

Window coverings play a significant role in our home’s design. They may create a touch of elegance with long, flowing drapes or enhance our home’s modern design with sophisticated, minimalistic roller shades. In addition to adding beauty, they reduce the sun’s direct glare, protect our furnishings, and offer privacy when night falls. We ask a lot of our window treatments.

Motorized shades, however, do much more. These shades wake us in the morning, let in the diffuse light of the sun during the day, and ensure we never miss another sunset. They reduce our energy usage, provide safety and security, and automatically lower when it’s movie night. While it may seem almost too good to be true, motorized shades do this and much more.
