Ambient and Task Lighting-Harsh overhead lighting can be distracting in your living room while you and your family try to watch TV, which is why we recommend installing recessed lighting or track lighting with dimmer switches. You’ll also need plenty of overhead and task lighting in your kitchen and bathrooms. LED lighting comes in different color temperatures with recommended ranges for each part of your home; warm lighting with a color temperature of 2700K-3000K looks best in living rooms and hallways, and cool lighting with a color temperature of 3000K-5000K is ideal for kitchens and bathrooms.

Smart Lighting and Appliances-The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to new technologies that allow us to control physical things with minimal intervention. It’s now possible to install smart thermostats and appliances in your home that you can control using voice commands or using a smartphone app. IoT devices can also learn your preferences and make autonomous decisions on your behalf!

Outdoor Lighting-It’s easy to install floodlights with sensors over your garage so you can safely bring in your groceries after dark. Outdoor lighting on the front of your home is also an excellent deterrent for would-be thieves and vandals!
