The Incredible World of Whole-Home Lighting Control
Discover the Magic of LED Lighting Under Smart Home Control
In most homes in Boca Raton, whole-home lighting control consists of dimmers and on-and-off switches. They have become such an everyday part of our lives that we use them almost unconsciously.
But, in the hands of a lighting designer and today’s control systems, how we illuminate our homes becomes much more than an unconscious act. It becomes a work of art.
Here, we’ll explore how modern lighting control elevates everyday living and transforms Florida homes for every occasion.

One-Touch Smart Lighting Control
Imagine banks of light switches transformed into elegant, custom-engraved keypads and high-resolution touchscreens. These controls not only dim and brighten multiple lights throughout your home, but they also change the color, saturation, and intensity.
Pressing the “Relax” button may change the living room lights to a cyan and sunflower color scheme or adjust the lighting in the media room to a soft purple haze. This remarkable system controls every light in your home, changing it to match your mood, activity, or the time of day.
Smart Sensors & Automated Programming
Today’s smart sensors play a significant role in easily managing your home’s illumination. When everyone leaves a room, they turn off the lights. When you pull into the driveway at night, they illuminate your home and entryway in stunning brilliance. Many homeowners have sat in their driveway for longer than intended when they first experienced this welcome.
Your home’s lighting can also enhance wellness. Called human-centric lighting, it automatically adjusts the color and brightness based on the time and the changing light of the sun. During the day, it creates the sensation of bringing diffuse sunlight indoors, and in the evening, it settles into a warm, amber glow. This type of lighting affects humans on both a physical and emotional level, helping the body return to balance under the natural light in which it evolved.
Part of a Greater Whole
At Force AV, we partner with Lutron and Control4, leaders in smart lighting and home automation. Together, they enable us to elevate a home’s lighting in remarkable ways and control it with one touch or voice command.
As part of the automated ecosystem, one touch manages multiple settings, from lighting to music, climate, and motorized shades. This integration creates the perfect ambiance for every moment, whether cooking, cleaning, relaxing, entertaining, or reading.
A Sense of Safety
Have you been lying in bed and heard a noise that left you a little uncertain? You wait, seeing if it returns before deciding it's time to make a trip downstairs and peer out the windows or turn on the floodlights.
In a smart home, you can pick up the touchscreen sitting on the bedside table and press the “Security” icon. In an instant, the backyard, entryway, and kitchen lights illuminate, startling the neighborhood cat or scaring away a potential intruder.
When integrated with security cameras, you can see exactly what’s occurring right from your bed.
While it’s hard to imagine, we’ve only touched the tip of the iceberg when it comes to whole-home lighting control. To learn more about the possibilities or to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact Force AV, Florida’s top home automation company, today.
