Elevate Your Interior Designs with Smart Lighting
Lighting should be an integral part of interior design. As a design professional, you already know that. But how many projects have you encountered where lighting design has been an afterthought? The lighting may have been functional, but it did little to enhance the home’s aesthetics.

You also understand how a room can be transformed from drab to delightful with the right lighting.

Layered Lighting
As design professionals, you understand the concept of layered lighting. Ambient lighting, like ceiling downlights, provides a base level of functional illumination. Accent lighting can highlight architectural detail, features, artwork, and furnishings. Feature lighting like pendants, sconces, and lamps add an additional layer for aesthetics and function. A Control4 lighting control system allows for precise control of all the layers to set the ambiance for a room or area. Create a scene with every light source dimmed or brightened appropriately for an activity or time of day, and activate it with one button. Your designs can come alive with perfectly tuned light for every room.
Paint a Room with Color
The latest LED lighting has color-changing capabilities that are revolutionizing home lighting. Depending on the fixture, it consists of two elements: the ability to change the color temperature of white light and display a rainbow of different colors. Tunable white light allows you to tailor lighting to activities and time of day. Brighter, bluer lights like daylight energize and improve focus, while warmer amber and redder tones mimic the setting sun and help our bodies shift to relaxation and better sleep. Control4 lighting control can adjust color temperature automatically throughout the day to provide the right environment for your clients.
With color tunable ability, you can add flair and drama to your carefully curated interiors. Introduce color to a layered lighting scene that highlights distinct artwork or create an entertainment scene with the season's colors. Your creativity is the only limit on what you can do. And with Control4 lighting management, changing the ambiance is only a button touch away.
Beautify the Walls
In a home with lots of built-in lighting, using regular switches and dimmers sometimes results in “wall acne.” With Control4 smart lighting, you can consolidate and streamline lighting control with elegant, customized keypads. Various models allow a variety of buttons and features to fully customize lighting control in your projects. Buttons can activate scenes that set a room's various light sources to the right levels for any activity. For example, a "cooking" scene in a kitchen lights up ambient and task lighting, while a "dining" scene sets a dimmed, more relaxed atmosphere for the evening meal. Customizable color backlighting makes buttons easy to see in any light, and flexible configurations allow for a custom control center for lighting and motorized shading, audio, and other smart home features. Control4 keypads are available in a variety of colors and finishes that blend smartly with your interior scheme.
