Create the Perfect Illumination with a Lighting Control System

Enjoy One-Touch and Automated Control of Every Light in Your Home

What catches your eye when you walk into a luxury home? For many, it’s the natural elements—the travertine countertops, beautiful white oak flooring, and the dramatic views from the floor-to-ceiling glass walls. The filtered sunlight brings the outdoors in, creating a sense of relaxation and warmth. The corner reading nook is illuminated in a soft golden glow—light from an unseen source.  

At Captivate, we view lighting as more than elegant fixtures that align with a home's décor. We consider it a defining element, setting the stage for every activity, highlighting your home’s best features, creating the desired mood, and providing a new level of luxury. We believe this element deserves more than light switches and dimmers.

Are you ready to experience the unparalleled ease of living and enjoyment today’s lighting control system offers your home in Austin, TX? Let’s explore the possibilities.

SETTING THE AMBIANCE

You no longer flip a switch when entering a room. Now, you press a button on an elegant custom-engraved keypad. These buttons denote activities and moods, such as dining, entertaining, reading, relaxing, and outdoor gatherings—a personalized system based on your many activities and lifestyle.

For instance, press the ‘Entertainment’ button, and the lights throughout your home settle into preset hues. For some, this translates to a golden candlelight glow in the dining area, soft orchid violet and sapphire blue lighting in the living room, and a kitchen cast in a gleaming luminescence. When integrated with your home automation platform, this same button also streams your ‘Entertainment’ playlist throughout your home and outdoor areas, ignites the outdoor fire feature, and illuminates beautiful patio and landscape lights.

After everyone leaves, tap the ‘Good Night’ button on a touchscreen by the bed, and every light turns off. You can manage all the lights in your home from these user-friendly interfaces. In addition to effortless control, the latest dynamic full-spectrum LED lighting offers every color of light imaginable and all from the same source.

MANAGING DAYLIGHT  

Natural light provides a sense of spaciousness and brings out the best of every design element it touches. Unfortunately, the sun's direct rays can harm a home's interior. Since managing daylight can be time-consuming, it’s often disregarded in the busy timeline of our days. As a result, window coverings tend to remain in one position, and we miss out on the many benefits of sunshine or fail to protect our home’s furniture and flooring. 

That’s where automated shades come in. Gone are the manual cords, and in their place are the powerful and beautiful one-touch keypads and touchscreens. We can also program them to raise and lower automatically based on the temperature in a room and the time of day. When your shades lower due to the sun’s harsh UV rays, your lights brighten, maintaining the perfect illumination at all times.

At Captivate, we create and install customized lighting control and home automation systems designed to fit your unique style, desires, and activities. To learn more about the many options in lighting control or to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact Captivate today.
