If you’re considering adding a lighting control solution to your Atlanta home, you need to consider both the functional and aesthetic factors. On the functional side, you want a lighting control solution to offer many ways to control lights through apps, sensors, schedules, and wall-mounted controls. On the aesthetic side, you’ll consider the color temperature and dimming capabilities of lights and the look and style of the fixtures.

When it comes to those lighting wall controls, they need to meet your most stringent criteria – are they easy to use, save you time and effort, and look good doing their job? Lutron dealers like GHT Group understand these needs and have the full set of Lutron solutions available to meet your needs.

Lutron offers seven styles of wall-mounted controls, ranging from wired models to wireless models that use RF (radio frequency) for ease of installation in existing homes. We’ll cover three of these popular wireless styles below, so we hope you keep reading!

Is there such a thing as a no-compromise solution? In reality, there are very few, but we think we have one of them for you. If you’re thinking of custom window treatments for a new home, remodel, or just a little redecorating, we highly recommend (implore, plead, urge, beg) that you consider making them motorized. Why? We’ve written at length on this subject and think motorized window treatments are like sliced bread in the smart home. In all seriousness, the benefits in convenience, luxury, comfort, and efficiency will pay dividends for many years. 

But you might think, don’t motorized window treatments involve wiring and installation foibles? Interestingly, we find that misconception still exists. Wireless motorized shading is as easy to install as regular window treatments and requires no special maintenance.

If your Buckhead, GA home leans modern, industrial retro-modern, or mid-century eclectic, you'll want to know more about the new wireless option for Lutron’s Palladiom motorized shades. Read more below!

If you’re expecting a bit of a downer like HBO’s Scenes from a Marriage, we try to keep it upbeat here at GHT Group. Our scenes are all about lighting control, and these scenes will put a smile on your face every time you use them! 

If you’re not familiar with lighting scenes, it’s all about controlling many lights at the same time with the ease of automation. You can do it with the push of a button or even by just arriving or leaving your house. Scenes are the “killer app” of whole-home lighting control systems – if you’ve got your entire house and property automated, the sky’s the limit. Here are four of our favorite ways to use lighting scenes in homes in Rosemary Beach, FL. 

Lutron is the world leader in lighting control solutions in both residential and commercial markets. Unlike other companies constantly churning out new products every year, Lutron tends to take more time introducing new technology and products.

Does that mean Lutron isn't innovative? The company that invented the modern solid-state dimmer doesn't rest on its laurels. But it also recognizes that people expect lights to just work. No one needs fancy lighting scenes that don't work consistently or light switches that take a second to turn on a light. Lutron is all about reliable, simple, fast operation. When you invest in a lighting control system for your Woodstock, GA home, you’re going to have it for years, and it has to work all the time.

Indeed, the company’s popular RadioRA 2 system was around for many years. A system that could manage medium to very large homes, it was a popular and rock-solid solution. But now there’s a new, upgraded system, Lutron RadioRA 3. Why is it a big deal to Lutron dealers and technology integrators like GHT Group? Find out more by reading below. 

When the pandemic hit and gyms everywhere were suddenly closed, there was a renewed focus on exercise at home. Wait times for Peloton bikes stretched for weeks, dumbbell and weight sets were nowhere to be found, and it seemed like the entire world was doing yoga classes on Zoom, YouTube, or from exercise apps.

Now, gyms have reopened, Peloton is even offering discounts (gasp!), but the home gym is here to stay. Why? It’s easy, you don’t have to go anywhere, you can control your environment, and it’s much simpler to step away from a work-from-home day to get some exercise in. Not to mention that no one will care that you’re not wearing the latest Nike or Lululemon. 

But one thing that shouldn’t be overlooked in home gyms is lighting. Just like in the home office and your living areas, lighting affects every activity. Keep reading to learn about the most illuminating ideas interior lighting design companies recommend for Roswell, GA, home gyms. 

Lighting control is one of the most popular smart home accouterments, and for very good reasons. But those reasons will vary greatly depending upon people’s needs and motivations. For some, it’s the convenience of having more than one way to control lights, like from a smartphone or through a voice assistant. For others, a schedule or sensor that turns off lights brings efficiency and energy savings.

Perhaps the best reason for going with a whole-home lighting control system – and not just one room or a few lights – is all of the above. Each reason is justification enough for lighting control for a Milton, GA home, but it becomes so easy to rationalize when putting them all together. See what we mean below!

It’s easy to take our lights for granted. We wake in the morning, flip a switch, and expect the lights to brighten our space. Then, we set out on our daily routine not always considering which lights should remain on to best accomplish our tasks. 

With a whole-home lighting control system that utilizes the best lighting solutions today’s market has to offer, you will no longer undervalue or disregard the power of lights. Your home’s illumination in WaterColor, FL will be transformed, from the soft or bright white lighting of your typical incandescent bulb to the full spectrum, color-tunable lighting of smart LEDs. 

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again – LED technology has created a revolution in lighting. You're seeing it everywhere. In cars, LED lighting has almost totally replaced incandescent and xenon lighting for bright, long-lasting headlights and taillights. In homes, LED bulbs and fixtures offer up to 80% better efficiency and longevity compared to incandescent ones.

But that’s not all. LED technology makes tunable lighting possible to change white color temperature and render color, creating more flexible lighting than ever before. And LED technology makes it possible to design impossibly thin and flexible light sources, like linear lighting.  With new options like Ketra lighting and low voltage LED solutions, GHT group is an interior lighting design company offering new ways to add functional and beautiful illumination to your Buckhead, GA home. Keep reading below to learn how LED linear lighting can add a new level of aesthetic appeal to your home.

In the sunny Florida Panhandle, window shades are a must for a variety of reasons, most of which are likely obvious to you. You want to control the sun for heat buildup, protect your interiors from too much UV ray exposure, and add privacy to your Santa Rosa Beach home.

Of course, all that can be achieved without powering your shades. So, can manual shades compete with custom motorized shades? Let the comparison begin!

If you’re building, remodeling, or simply tired of the current window treatments in your living areas, you might be overwhelmed with all the choices available for window covering options. As with most things, one of the best ways to start the process is to think about how you actually use your living spaces. For most people, these rooms are for relaxing, socializing, and entertaining – but some of these uses will rank higher in importance than others.

Then we have the practical and aesthetic considerations, such as light control, energy efficiency, and décor and style. Does this sound like a lot? Maybe, but let the custom window treatment experts at GHT Group help with a few suggestions for your Roswell, GA home. Ready? Explore four popular options below.
