Since the big Black Friday sales, few things have been more popular holiday gifts than smart technology. From smart lights, locks, and thermostats to smart speakers, streaming devices, and TVs, there’s quite a few new electronics to integrate into your home.

Since all these new devices are intelligent, naturally, each has an app to control it. Some, like audio and video devices, have remote controls, too. All of those different apps can be a little overwhelming, not to mention managing the many login credentials of each.

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.

Photography is the art of capturing a view. It is both a science and an art - anyone can take a picture, but great photographers know how to capture a compelling image. From the technological point of view, it’s always been about capturing light effectively. Different lenses and apertures let a camera frame the image and control the light coming in for the right effect. Where in years past chemical processes captured the image, today, digital technology can both capture the image and apply many different effects.

Any image can be improved with the optimal lighting. If you think of your home as a series of images, it too can look its best with the art and science of today’s home lighting and control solutions. If you want to see your Atlanta home in its best light, keep reading below!

Do you ever think about the lighting inside your home? It’s something we tend to take for granted. We need it, of course, inside and outdoors. Generally, we want to be efficient about the way we use light – not leaving lights on when they don’t need to be.

We also like our lighting to be adjustable and adaptable, bringing the right light to shine on a task. For cooking we may want our island lights on, under-counter lights turned on bright, and the lights over the range on. In the morning, we want lighting that gently wakes us in the bedroom, and the kitchen coffee area well-lit to highlight that ultra-important morning caffeination task.

There is a way to bring smart technology to your lighting with a lighting control installation for your Atlanta-area home. Beyond convenience, it can add style, accent special features, and make your home safer and more energy efficient.
