Using Sensors with Your Lutron Lighting System

All You Need to Know About Daylight & Occupancy Sensors

Using Sensors with Your Lutron Lighting System

Automating your lights to follow a schedule is handy, but a schedule can’t predict what’s really going on at home. If it’s a stormy, cloudy day (a common occurrence here in Medina, WA), your Lutron lighting system won’t know that it should open the drapes and turn on the LEDs to get some light. Likewise, if it’s starting to get darker earlier each day of fall, a schedule won’t be able to account for the changing night sky. 

That’s where sensors come in handy. Lutron’s occupancy and daylight sensors are essential to a complete smart lighting experience. Learn how they work and can enhance a Lutron lighting system below.

Introducing Lumaris: Lutron’s New Smart Tape Light

LED tape lights have become a popular lighting design motif in recent years, appearing in many homes across Washington. The flexible, thin LED strips add a touch of light under cabinets, around mirrors and TVs, and inside bookshelves—virtually anywhere you want. But to date, controlling tape light has been its own issue. There hasn’t been a simple, sophisticated way to intelligently control tape lights—until Lumaris. 

Lumaris is Lutron’s first tape lighting solution that allows users to remotely adjust the color temperature and intensity, creating a range of moods and effects. As a Lutron dealer in the Liberty Lake, WA, area, Wipliance can provide your home with Lutron and other smart lighting solutions

5 Areas of Your House Improved by Lighting Design

When it comes to ambiance, lighting is everything. Imagine walking into a brightly lit party with harsh, cool lighting. You may feel a little self-conscious. But if the lights are cozy and warm, most people feel more at ease walking into a room of strangers. 

Similarly, the lighting conditions influence how you feel in your home. If you’re undergoing a home renovation or building a house in the Medina, WA, area, lighting design should be top of mind. With help from a lighting designer, you can create a welcoming and impressive atmosphere in every area of the house. 

Here are five areas to consider for your home lighting design.

5 Cringe-Worthy Mistakes in Common Home Lighting Plans

During a home build, architects create a lighting plan that may look great on paper. The layout seems clean, symmetrical, and functional. Checks all around, right? Not necessarily. Too often, these plans aren’t designed with you in mind, which results in underwhelming and impractical lighting installations.

David Warfel, founding designer of Light Can Help You, presented at the CEDIA Virtual Expo last year on the Nine Deadly Sins of Lighting Layouts that his team sees all the time, and the home lighting designers at Wipliance couldn’t agree more. Below, we highlight five of these lighting mistakes we see most often in Seattle, WA, and surrounding areas. Have you seen these mistakes, too?
