Enhanced Well-Being through Lighting
Lighting affects our moods, energy levels, and overall well-being. The first light of the morning prompts the body to create hormones responsible for energy and wakefulness. As the sunlight disappears and darkness arrives, the production of melatonin kicks in, the hormone responsible for a good night’s sleep.
However, it has been a long time since we’ve lived in alignment with the changing patterns of the sun and the moon. As a result, our indoor, blue-screen lifestyles have left us out of sync with our internal time clock, the circadian rhythm that supports our sleep-wake cycle. In response, we may experience restless nights and loss of energy. Focusing becomes a challenge, and our once calm and relaxed demeanor transitions into irritation all too easily.
Today’s tunable LED lights and motorized shades can be programmed to support your body’s internal rhythm, bringing filtered sunlight into your home and creating lighting that aligns with the light outside your windows. Your shades rise with the sun and lower when direct sunlight affects your furnishings. Your lights transition from the color of sunrise to a brighter, blue-toned hue midday before settling into a warm yellow-gold and a soft amber-red.
A Spa-Like Retreat
Many homeowners seek spaces to relax and unwind at day’s end. This may translate to a soaking tub amidst lighting that resembles candlelight. A smart home lets you manage any room or your entire home with pre-programmed scenes. Whether relaxing, entertaining, or watching a movie with the family, one touch of a button can create the ideal environment.
Of course, relaxing means something different to everyone. That’s why Garrett Integrated Systems partners with Savant, the industry leader in luxury home automation. They understand the customization required in luxury home living. For this reason, each family member and household staff member has personalized access and programming.
When one person presses the ‘Relax’ button, the lighting in the living room transitions to violet-blue, and ambient nature sounds fill the room via high-fidelity in-ceiling speakers. When another family member taps ‘Relax,’ the landscape lights transform to an iridescent glow, the outdoor satellite speakers stream their favorite relaxing tunes, and the spa heats.
Today’s luxury homes enhance wellness while elevating everyday living. At Garrett Integrated Systems, we’re excited to share the remarkable world today’s home automation brings.
