We always say that lighting should be part of a well-thought-out interior design. Surprisingly, sometimes lighting is thought of functionally but not aesthetically. But if you’re a design professional, we’re preaching to the converted; you understand the importance of light and its effects on your projects.

A great lighting scheme for a home involves many facets, from the fixtures for function and aesthetics to control. As one of Georgia's premier home technology and interior lighting design companies with a showroom in Marietta, we think of all the details, including the last lighting mile (or perhaps foot?). The touchpoints for light control can and should be an integral part of the lighting design for a home. And that brings us to the subject of this blog: two exquisite choices in lighting keypads from Lutron, the industry leader in lighting control. Please keep reading!

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.

Some people may think that smart home technology is just about convenience. Without question, convenience is a real benefit, but it's not the only one. Smart lighting is not just about giving you an app to dim and control your lights from wherever. It's about letting you have complete control over lighting to make your home more beautiful, energy-efficient, luxurious, and even healthier.

You might also think that intelligent lighting is a great feature to have for just one area in your home. Perhaps you want smart control for your main living area or your outside lights. But we say, why not go all the way? With a whole-home lighting control system, you can open up another world of possibilities for your Woodstock, GA home. Let's look at four ways you can leverage the power of intelligent lighting control.

You may have heard of lighting control systems or smart lighting, but like many things now labeled “smart,” you may not have a great sense of what they can do for you. Smart lighting control systems also sound like they might require a significant investment.

The good news is that smart lighting control may require a minimal upfront investment in wiring to get started. With the advances in wireless technologies, however, you may be surprised at how painless it is to add lighting control to your existing home. Moreover, you can automate your outdoor lights, one room, several rooms, or the whole house – you have choices, and you can expand in the future.

Why install a smart lighting control system in your Metro Atlanta home? Because there are real benefits in convenience, safety, and efficiency – not to mention adding a little luxury to your lifestyle. Read on to find out how.

We’ve talked plenty in our blog about how lighting control and smart home automation makes your life easier, more convenient, and even safer. But how about a dose of some good old fashioned fun?  

Halloween is right around the corner, and while it's fun for the kids, consuming that much candy may not be conducive to good health in adults. However, we do have our toys – tools like Lutron lighting control to make our house the scariest on the block. So, besides all the convenience and efficiency that lighting control can bring to your Buckhead, GA home, let’s explore the fun side for Halloween!

Summer isn't over yet, and we're already talking about holidays? If you plan to make some home improvements, it certainly isn't too early to start planning. As we write this, Labor Day is upon us, and with it begins the school year and many other activities that keep families very busy going into the fall season. 

The December holidays may seem distant right now, but autumn isn’t. Halloween and Thanksgiving will be here sooner than you think. And what better way to celebrate holidays than with a little light? Here are three ways you can use Lutron lighting control to put a shine on the fall in Vinings, GA.

If you’re just getting started with smart home technology at your Georgia residence, one of the first systems you might consider is lighting control. Perhaps you’re aware of the benefits but have been hesitant to make a significant investment in a whole-house lighting control solution.

Yes, the pandemic is still with us, and as tiring as it may be, maintaining health and safety habits will go a long way to ensure its tenure in Georgia will last no longer than necessary. One of those healthy habits – in any environment and time – is to keep hands clean and oft-used surfaces germ-free.

Light switches and controls are a high-touch area that likely few think of as potential sources of germs. No, you don't necessarily need to remove them or cover them up with tape. Fortunately, Lutron lighting control solutions provide multiple ways of controlling your lights that involve touching nothing at all. Now there’s a high-tech approach to keeping your Sandy Springs home a little safer for you and your family in these challenging times. Keep reading for three simple ways to make managing your lighting touch-free.

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.

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.

Thanks to LED technology, lighting has undergone a significant transformation in the past ten years. Incandescent lighting was fixed and inflexible, and the compact fluorescent technology that followed, while more energy efficient, was also limiting in various ways. LED technology has ushered in a new era in lighting with tremendous benefits. 

By now, you might know the basic benefits of LED technology. It's incredibly efficient, long-lasting, and can be molded into different lighting bulbs and fixtures not feasible with incandescent and fluorescent technology. But there's more. LED technology makes lighting dynamic, capable of varying the color of white light and displaying a rainbow of color. When you couple these capabilities with smart lighting control, you get a whole new way of illuminating your home. That’s what Lutron’s Ketra is all about. Available only from professional interior lighting design companies like GHT Group, Ketra dynamic lighting is a gamechanger in residential lighting. Keep reading below to learn more!
