Create the Perfect Setting with Lutron Dynamic Lighting

The Lutron Lighting System Brings Beauty, Well-Being, and Effortless Control of Light

While lighting offers a way to see in the dark and enjoy everyday activities long after the sun has set, it also plays a critical role in a home’s interior design. Good lighting enables us to make delicious meals in the kitchen, ensuring we see well enough to avoid injury. Great lighting sets the home's mood, creates depth and warmth, and draws attention to the home’s finest features and architectural elements. 

At Innovative AV, we specialize in tailored, smart home solutions that enhance our clients’ lives. To accomplish this, we partner with the leaders in their field to ensure the highest caliber of products and performance. In lighting, that brand is Lutron. 

Let’s explore the incredible beauty and benefits Lutron lighting offers your home in Arlington, VA.

Setting the Mood

There was a time when we were limited to soft or bright white light throughout our homes. We could dim or brighten the lights, thanks to the first solid-state dimmer invented by Lutron in 1959, but the color remained constant. When Lutron acquired Ketra in 2018, it transformed our ability to manage light forever.

Now, we have access to every color of light in the visible spectrum—about 16.7 million colors of light—and all from the same light source. Today, we can set the mood for every occasion with one touch of a button. Integrate Lutron lighting with your home automation platform, and with one tap on a touchscreen or engraved in-wall keypad, you can set the lighting, audio video, and climate for dining, entertainment, movie night, or relaxation. The colors of golden candlelight, arctic blue, evergreen, indigo, teal, and azure are all at your disposal. 

A Healthier Home

Light also influences our mood and energy levels. Today we spend an incredible amount of time indoors, about 93% of our lives, by some estimates. Unfortunately, our internal timeclocks are set to the changing nature of light—increasing neurotransmitters that promote energy with the sun’s first rays and releasing hormones that bring on relaxation when darkness falls.

Human-centric lighting enables us to bring daylight indoors. Your lighting mimics the changing light of daylight, transforming from brighter, blue-toned hues midday to the amber color of the setting sun at day’s end, aligning our internal timeclocks to the 24-hour sleep-wake cycle.

Daylight Harvesting

Harvesting daylight refers to bringing the sun’s light indoors, promoting beauty and the benefits of natural light. Using Lutron’s many motorized window coverings, including shades, blinds, and draperies, your home controls the amount of light entering through windows and skylights. 

Your shades adjust throughout the day, bringing in the diffuse light of the sun without damaging artwork and furnishings. In perfect synchronicity, your lighting responds, dimming or brightening based on the level of natural light.
