What makes a party special? Any great host knows that lighting is key to setting the perfect atmosphere for any festivity—right along with the music, food, and company. When lighting is an afterthought, it can make your get-togethers feel lackluster or entirely uncomfortable.

Even during a socially distant season, where parties are reduced to small groups or celebrated virtually, you can create an evening to remember within your Kirkland, WA home with the right lighting controls and fixtures. Below are some key tips on how to enhance the fun for any celebration using Lutron lighting control.

For thousands of years, humans lived their days around the rising and setting of the sun. After the invention of the carbon-filament bulb in the late 19^th century, artificial light enabled humans to continue daytime activities long after sunset, which became a cornerstone of modern life.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t until the late 20^th century that researchers began to realize the negative effects artificial light may have on our circadian clocks. Our physiological processes depend greatly on the naturally dynamic shifts in sunlight. Too much or too little light at the wrong time of day can throw them out of sync, causing physical and mental fatigue and even illness.

We’re not suggesting you stop using artificial lights at your Issaquah, WA home. Instead, upgrade to tunable LEDs, which can change in color temperature and intensity throughout the day to mimic the changing patterns of sunlight. This smarter and healthier solution to lighting can be easily achieved with Lutron lighting control. Keep reading for a deeper dive into the benefits of tunable lighting.

Amid the health crisis, you’ve likely been practicing ways to reduce your risk and help curb the spread of germs. Of course, good hygiene habits shouldn’t start and stop with the coronavirus. While the social distance requirement will eventually lift, it’s always a good idea to wash your hands and keep surfaces clean to maintain a healthy home.

If you want a more high-tech approach to curbing the spread of germs, no-touch smart home devices can certainly help. For example, a Lutron lighting control system offers various hands-free approaches to commanding your lights so that you can avoid ever touching on-wall keypads and handheld remotes.
