Enjoy the Perfect Balance of Natural and Electric Light
Smart lighting continues to make headlines, with smart bulbs controlled by an app or scheduled to switch on at set times. While convenient, these are far different from a home lighting control system that makes managing natural and electric light effortless.
Elegant keypads and touchscreens let you control your lights from anywhere. With one touch, turn off every light in your home or turn on the landscape and security lights if you hear a noise. Press a button to open every motorized shade, letting the beauty of natural light illuminate your home. Did you arrive home with your hands full of groceries? Just tell your voice assistant to turn on the kitchen lights.
Are you ready to experience the ease of living and security that automated lighting brings? Let’s explore the possibilities for your Cincinnati, OH, home.

The Modern Approach for Managing Light
From your touchscreen, you can see the status of every light and window covering. Did someone leave the light on in the media room? One tap turns it off.
These lighting systems utilize several approaches to bring the perfect illumination to your home. At Beacon Audio Video Systems, we explore the customized programming that transforms your lighting control system from smart to intelligent. The following represent unique ways to manage your home’s lighting.
- Geo-Fencing: This technology lets your lighting control system know you’re home when you pull into the driveway. In response, the landscape, entryway, and kitchen lights illuminate, ensuring you always return to a well-lit home.
- Motion Sensors: Smart motion sensors softly illuminate a trail of lights in the middle of the night, whether the kids are making their way to your bedroom or someone’s headed to the kitchen.
- Schedules: Your lights and shades can adjust automatically based on the time of day. Wake to sunlight entering your bedroom as the shades rise in the morning. Watch certain lights throughout your home and outdoor areas brighten when dusk descends.
- Scenes: Scenes create the perfect lighting for various activities. Press ‘Dine,’ ‘Entertain,’ or ‘Relax,’ and the lighting throughout your home transforms. When you press the ‘Good Night’ button, all the lights turn off and the shades lower.
- Remote: Are you arriving home from work later than expected? Pull up the app and turn on the entryway and landscape lights to deter thieves.
- Automated: Lights and shades work together to provide the perfect level of natural and electric light. The shades lower when direct sunlight brings in harmful UV rays. In response, your lights brighten in occupied rooms.
Adding Another Layer of Security
A lighting control system also enhances your home’s protection. Press the ‘Away’ button when leaving for a long weekend, and your home creates the illusion that it’s occupied. At random times, your home turns the lights on and off and adjusts the motorized shades. Law enforcement recommends this type of presence simulation for deterring intruders.
And that’s the tip of the home lighting control iceberg. At Beacon, we design and install easy-to-use, customized technology solutions that enhance your daily life. To learn more about home lighting control or to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact Beacon today.
