The Benefits of Upgrading to Lutron HomeWorks 

When you moved into your Twin Cities home, was it already equipped with a lighting control system? Or did you have a Lutron lighting system installed years—or even decades—ago? 

If you’re still using a legacy Lutron system like Lutron Interactive, LiteTouch, or Illuminations, you may have noticed poor performance after switching to LED bulbs. Maybe certain fixtures are no longer working, or you’re experiencing flickering lights, erratic dimming, and unreliable behavior. 

Why does this happen to older lighting systems? And how can you fix it? Here’s how (and why) we upgrade Lutron lighting systems for our clients in Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN. 

How Today’s Lighting Technology Enhances Wellness

Bringing Natural Light into Your Home as Fall Turns to Winter

As summer turns to fall and the days grow shorter, our bodies attempt to adjust to the decreasing daylight. While the exact amount of daylight you lose depends on where you live, it’s astonishing to realize that from the first day of fall to the end of the year, many in Minnesota will experience over three hours of diminishing light. 

So, what does this reduced light do to our bodies? For many of us, decreasing sunlight disrupts the internal time clock known as the circadian rhythm. For those who are susceptible in St. Paul/Minneapolis, MN, lack of adequate sunshine can lead to seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a type of depression associated with chemical changes occurring in the brain due to less daylight. 

Here, we’ll explore the circadian rhythm, how the body responds when it’s disrupted, and the lighting technology that can bring your body back into balance as the seasons change.

Discover the Extraordinary World of Home Lighting Control

Imagine a Home That Creates the Ideal Illumination Effortlessly

Lighting has a powerful effect on the human body and emotions. Soft, warm hues signal to the body it's time for rest. Bright, blue tones make it easier to concentrate with focused attention. When the sun's natural light enters a home, it brings warmth, renewed energy, and immense beauty.

Light, at its very essence, changes the world.

Yet, because of its ubiquitous existence, we've come to take it for granted. We flip a light switch, and a room illuminates. Today, however, home lighting control offers so much more. 

It readies your Minnesota home in the morning, turning on the perfect lights at just the right hue and intensity before you wake. When you return from work, your home greets you as soon as you pull into the driveway, setting the tone for the evening with warm landscape and interior lights. When you go to bed, you press a ‘Good Night’ button, and every light throughout your home dims to darkness. 

Are you ready to experience the incredible world of automated lighting and how it's transforming homes in the greater Twin Cities region? Let's view a day through the eyes of smart lighting.

It’s clear light can influence our emotions, but have you considered how the lighting in your home might be subtly shaping your mental state? This is the idea behind human-centric lighting, a cutting-edge trend in smart technology that brings the benefits of natural light into your home. 

Read on to discover how human-centric works and how lighting control solutions like Lutron can enhance your daily life in the Twin Cities area.
