With years of home design experience under our belts, we can say, without a doubt, that lighting is an essential part of any home design. That is why BRAVAS Atlanta is proud to feature Lutron Lighting systems to anyone interested in adding the perfect amount of lighting integration to their home. Lutron offers a wide variety of home automation services making it easy for homeowners to control every light in the house from a central location. Set timers so lights turn on and off while you're away, giving your home the appearance that it isn't temporarily vacant. Program the light outside the back door to turn on as you pull in the driveway, providing you a safer path inside. You can even change your lighting options online, without needing to be at your house! Now all of these options sound great, but such extensive programming must send your energy usage through the roof, right? Wrong! Lutron offers dimming options with your state-of-the-art lighting, allowing you to not only use up to 10% less energy but also double the life of your bulbs. And, some of their systems take it a step further, using whole-house control to monitor and reduce energy consumption. So your HOUSE will keep lights on only when they are needed. And you thought your phone was 'smart'. The possibilities are endless and it's no wonder they were awarded a number of distinguished honors including the 2012 EC&M Product of the Year: Energi TriPak in the lighting controls category. Call BRAVAS Atlanta today and ask about the wide variety of Lutron lighting systems we offer. There's no better choice in Atlanta home automation. image from flickr: Kendyl Young
