You may have heard the phrase "seeing things in a different light." The reality is, light has a significant impact on how you see things. A piece of art may take on a whole new meaning in the perfect light. A photograph can go from merely a picture to capturing a moment just from using the right light.

Your home can be the same way. When building a new home, chances are you will invest heavily in customizing it with the features you want that fit your lifestyle. You should consider lighting as one of those investments. Like that photograph or piece of art, the right lighting enhances your home's beauty. Beyond that, it also adds to your comfort and - with the latest technology - even your wellness.

Sunbelt Technology works with Lutron for lighting control solutions. Lutron is a lighting pioneer in both residential and commercial lighting control and offers the broadest range of solutions in the industry.

Read on to learn how to customize your new Atlanta, GA home with Lutron lighting control.

With the holiday season in full swing, it's typically a busy time of the year. Security may not be top of mind amid entertaining, shopping, and office parties, but nevertheless, it is an important concern at this time of the year.

The continued growth in internet shopping and the resulting onslaught of package deliveries has given rise to a new type of theft - porch piracy. In some cities, thieves follow delivery trucks and nab packages left on porches and doorsteps minutes after delivery. It’s unfortunate, but if you don’t want to lose that special gift that took hours to find, some security measures are needed to protect your property.

The holidays are also prime travel time, whether to visit family or simply get away and recharge at the end of the year. While you're away, be sure your home is safe.

Fortunately, today’s smart technology provides solutions. A smart surveillance system installation will provide the peace of mind that your Atlanta, GA home and property are safe, whether you are there or away.

So how do you choose the right system for you? Read on to learn the right questions to ask.

We love to talk about home automation, but they say a picture is worth a thousand words. If a picture is worth that much, then an in-person experience must be worth even more. This is why we're holding a special event on November 21 at our Atlanta showroom to show off some of the latest home automation technology from Control4.

What will we be showing? Control4 is introducing a new remote control called the Neeo. This is no ordinary remote control, though, and we have more details about it below. A rep from Holm will be on hand to show off the latest in outdoor lighting. For movie and home theater fans, we will also have reps from brand partners Epson and Kaleidescape to talk about the most recent iterations on projectors and movie servers. Of course, we will have food and drinks too to accompany all the festivities.

So, mark the date – November 21, from 4-8 PM – for the #C4Yourself Control4 event at our Atlanta showroom. Now keep reading below for some more details on the Control4 Neeo remote, because you will have a chance to win one! And be sure to RSVP HERE.
