Whose house is that lit up across the street? Oh, it’s yours!

Whether you’ve recently moved into a new house or are ready for a home improvement project, landscape lighting can make all the difference after dark. You’ll call attention to architecture and greenery while creating an inviting atmosphere every night.  

But before you head to the hardware store for some cables and bulbs, you’ll want to make sure your outdoor lighting not only looks good but is easy to use and will last for years to come. So, consider these five points before installing landscape lighting in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

What Is Human-Centric Lighting?

Home Lighting That Anticipates the Perfect Mood

We’ve all been in spaces that are lit too brightly. Imagine walking into a hospital or a fluorescent-lit store. Cool-white lighting may feel fine during the day, but it often feels harsh or uncomfortable after dark. On the flipside, dim interiors during the day can feel gloomy and stuffy.  

Many homeowners accidentally use lights that aren’t suited to the right time of day. They might turn on an icy-white lightbulb that looks fine when getting ready in the morning but appears much too bright at night. Incorrect lighting goes far beyond aesthetics—light’s been proven to influence our moods, both positively and negatively.

The solution? Install a smart lighting system that will automate your lights to follow natural sunlight. Lutron’s tunable lighting solution, Ketra, transforms the way you illuminate your home with ‘human-centric lighting.’

As a Lutron installer based in the Delray Beach, FL, area, we’ll shed some light on what human-centric lighting really means and how it can improve your daily moods.
