Control4 OS 3.3.0: Change Your LED Lighting with One Touch
In 2022, Control4 came up with its latest system update, the Control4 OS 3.3.0. As Control4 Diamond Dealers, we’ve always been impressed with their continual upgrades, staying ahead of the curve and on the leading technological precipice. This Control4 system update is no different.
One of the upgrades we're incredibly excited to share with our clients is the built-in color control for LED lighting. Let’s explore what this means for homeowners in Scottsdale, AZ, and the surrounding areas.

Smart Home Lighting
Wipliance has designed and installed customized smart home automation solutions for over 15 years. One of the most popular systems for those just entering the smart home arena is lighting. With one tap on a touchscreen or in-wall keypad, they can transform every light in their home or in just one room.
We also program preset scenes and automated controls. For example, when they arrive home at the end of the day, the landscape and entrance lights illuminate as they pull into the driveway. Throughout the day, lights dim and brighten based on the amount of natural daylight.
With the advent of LED dynamic spectrum lighting, home lighting changed forever. Now, our clients have access to over 16 million colors of light—all the colors in the visible light spectrum. That’s a lot of colors to choose from, and that's where Control4's built-in color control comes in.
Controlling Millions of Colors of Light
Having access to unlimited colors of light can feel both exhilarating and overwhelming. Imagine transforming your outdoor lights to the color of the tropics—Aegean blue, turquoise, teal, and warm gold—when enjoying an outdoor gathering with friends. Or highlighting your treasured works of art and architecture in colors that show off their best features. Did you have a rough day at work? Call up the calming shades of soft blue and lavender to envelop you.
With the latest upgrade, Control4 has made controlling all these lights and colors effortless. The new native lighting color wheel allows you to manage your lighting with a single touch, quickly changing the mood of a room for any occasion. Once you have your favorite lighting, you can save it as a preset scene. Change your bedroom ceiling to a night sky when it's time for bed, or enjoy the colors of the sunrise when you wake. Almost anything is possible with this new LED lighting control.
Advances in LED Full-Spectrum Lighting
At Wipliance, we partner with numerous companies that continue to advance LED full-spectrum lighting for homeowners. A few of these include Lutron’s Ketra, WAC Lighting, and Proluxe Lighting by American Lighting. WAC offers full-spectrum LEDs in recessed downlighting. Proluxe recently came out with LED strip lights for interior and exterior applications. Ketra was one of the first to offer tunable full-spectrum lighting that maintains precise color output.
We know it’s a lot to consider. That’s where Wipliance comes in. We’re happy to share the latest innovations and help you determine the system that’s exactly right for you. To learn more about home automation and smart lighting or to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact Wipliance today.
