Are you building a new house or considering a significant remodel? If you are, you might be surprised at the advances in lighting from the last time you embarked on such a project. New lighting technology like Lutron’s Ketra lighting can completely change how you see and use light in your Bellevue, WA home. 

Wipliance is a professional home lighting consultant and certified dealer for Lutron Ketra tunable lighting. We'd love to help you envision home lighting in an entirely new way. Read on to learn more about Lutron Ketra lighting, the world's most beautiful residential lighting.

One of the smart home features our client request – and love – most is lighting control. When you equip your Redmond, WA property with a whole-home lighting control system, you’ll have an incredible tool for managing illumination in your home, inside and out.

But there’s more to lighting control than just the lights. With elegant Lutron programmable keypads, you can do more than turn lights on and off and dim them. Much more – read more below to see how lighting control keypads let you manage the rest of your smart home. 

How do you know if the lighting in your home is doing its job? Like many things in life, you know it’s working when you don’t notice it. Over the years, we’ve talked to many clients about the lighting issues that become a daily annoyance, from glare on the TV to lack of task lighting for homework or doing dishes.

Over the years, though, one area of the home seems to be the biggest culprit: the bathroom. When you stay at a hotel, how often are you surprised about the amount and quality of lighting by the sink or shower? The bathroom has so many unique uses that simple overhead lights just won’t do the job.

So how can you embrace a more elevated lighting design in your bathroom? As a home lighting consultant serving Seattle, WA and the surrounding areas, we have some tips on using layered lighting and color temperature for the perfect illumination every time. You can also check these bathroom lighting tips in action in our video tutorial.

Lighting is one of those things you tend to notice when it’s not right. If you ever house-hunted in Bellevue in the winter months, you know how dark the Washington days can be. If you walked into a house with shades drawn and dim lighting, chances are your impression of that property wasn’t very good. But if you walk into a home with beautifully layered lighting, it will just feel right. And it won’t matter how rainy and dark it is outside!

A home lighting consultant can help you design the right blend of lighting for every space in your home. With today’s LED lighting technology and sophisticated control, it's easier and more efficient than ever to create custom illumination for every area. Keep reading below to learn more about how great lighting design can transform the look and feel of your Bellevue home.

At Wipliance, we’ve long been fans of Lutron, industry leaders in lighting and shading control. Since their beginnings, they’ve pushed the boundaries of what’s possible and delivered cutting-edge technology that defines today’s industry standards.

In 2019, they delivered Clear Connect - Type X. Let’s explore what this means to home automation and why we, as a premier Lutron installer, are excited to bring this technology to your home in Seattle, WA.

One of the best features of smart home automation is how the technology makes daily life easier by automating things you do every day, saving you time for the things that really matter. Nowhere is that more evident than with smart lighting control. Lighting control can manage lights on schedules or turn something on or off based on your presence in the room — and these are but two examples.

When you equip your residence with a whole-home lighting control system, you can step up to more sophisticated automation that can make every aspect of your home life easier and more relaxing. The key feature is lighting scenes, where you can set a whole group of lights — from one room to your entire property — to specific settings to set a mood or ambiance or to illuminate any activity. Let’s look at a few ways lighting scenes can light up your life in Bellevue, WA.

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has provided the largest global stage for innovative new products and technologies for over 50 years. A few of the categories we pay close attention to every year include audio and video, home entertainment, and smart home and appliances. This year’s 2022 event was once again filled with incredible inventions in these areas and others. A few of the mentionable items include Cambridge Audio’s high-end turntable, a Smart kitchen faucet by Moen, and Mark Levinson’s first headphones. 

It was a solid year for the audio-video industry, with high-quality, or should we say “higher-quality,” TVs and large displays taking center stage. As a premier home theater company and automated solutions provider serving Seattle, WA, we partner with the top companies in the industry. To say we were excited to see the remarkable technologies unfolding, especially among two of our favorite brands, is an understatement.

Let’s look at what the two leaders in electronics and entertainment are offering the world in high-end, cinematic-quality TVs and sound in 2022. 

Based in France, Focal has been known for audio innovation and its dedication to acoustics since its beginnings in 1979. They design, manufacture, and assemble almost all of their products at their Saint-Etienne factory. Because of their attention to detail and dedication, they’ve created what many consider one of the best high-fidelity loudspeakers in the world—the Grande Utopia. 

In 2021, Focal came out with their new 1000 Series—a customized audio solution for home theaters and hi-fi setups that takes audio to a whole new level, producing an unrivaled level of performance. As a home audio specialist, Wipliance is excited to share what this means for home theater and hi-fi enthusiasts in Seattle, WA.

If you’re exploring what to know before overhauling your smart home, you’ve come to the right place.

Motorized shades have changed the way homeowners live their lives in Kirkland, WA, and beyond. It may seem like a simple thing—not needing to go around to every window of the house to raise and lower shades—but it’s an incredible time-saver with the added bonuses of energy savings and style. 

With custom window treatments, you can add elegance to any room of your home. And now, Lutron’s Palladiom line of roller shades is wire-free, making this incredible smart home solution available to more homeowners than ever before.

We know the holidays have arrived when lights and decorations begin appearing up and down the streets of the Lake Sammamish area. We revel in the beauty while slightly dreading the many tasks and details it will take to make our home one of those that light up the night. 

Fortunately, a whole-home lighting control system can take some of the to-dos off of our holiday checklist. Let’s look at how a Lutron lighting system can make the holidays just a little brighter and a little less labor-intensive in your Washington home.
