AI That Learns How You Live
Machine learning creates intuitive lighting experiences. AI-powered systems can recognize usage patterns, align with seasonal changes, and fine-tune scenes to complement your daily activities:
- Winter Morning: Gradually fills your home with warm, uplifting light.
- Après-Ski Relaxation: Welcomes you back with soft amber tones that encourage calm.
- Task Lighting: Brightens room lights on cloudy days
Over time, your lighting system develops a signature palette of scenes that reflect your preferences, always ready to transform at your command.
Go Green: Sustainability at the Touch of a Button
With professional programming, energy efficiency becomes second nature. Green Mode limits dimmer output to an optimal range of 85–90%, which improves bulb life, reduces energy use, and maintains beautiful illumination:
- Rooms that aren’t in use fade to low-power levels.
- Motorized shades move to capture or block sunlight for the best natural balance.
- Motion sensors and daylight harvesting ensure every lumen serves a purpose, leading to as much as 40% less lighting-related electricity consumption.
The result is a refined experience that feels indulgent yet leaves a lighter carbon footprint.
Lighting in Harmony With the Seasons
Utah’s landscapes and natural light change dramatically throughout the year, and your lighting can follow that rhythm.
Winter scenes glow in golden warmth to make shorter days feel more comfortable; summer settings favor crisp, invigorating tones that enhance the energy of longer daylight hours.
Mood-based presets extend that personalization. One command can shift an entire room into a vibrant dinner atmosphere, a serene reading retreat, or a tranquil night setting. Each experience arrives ready-made with no adjustments required.
