Tunable White Lighting Is a Healthier Choice
One fantastic option you have with LED technology is investing in tunable white lighting for your home. A tunable system allows you to change the color temperature and intensity of lighting for any fixture around your house. Our bodies use light and color temperature to help regulate sleep-wake cycles (called the circadian rhythm). Traditionally, our internal clocks are regulated by the patterns of natural sunlight. But spending all day cooped up inside under artificial lighting can throw circadian rhythm wildly off-balance, leading to fatigue and burnout during the day and poor sleep at night.
Tunable LED lighting is artificial lighting that can mimic the patterns of natural sunlight. During the day, cool white light boosts mood, energy, alertness, and productivity. In the evening, warm white light promotes rest, relaxation and winding down. With a smart tunable system, you can program your lights to adjust automatically throughout the day in tune with the sun.
Smart lighting control also allows you to set personalized scenes that you can activate with the touch of a button on your smartphone or touchscreen tablet. A “Home Workout” scene in the living room can turn the overhead fixtures to a bright, white light that helps you feel energized and pumped. A “Relax” scene in the bedroom can switch off the overhead lighting and turn on the bedside lamps to a warm glow that helps you settle down before bed.
LED Lighting Fixtures Are More Energy-Efficient and Longer-Lasting
LED bulbs are vastly more energy-efficient than traditional incandescent light bulbs. Energy.gov states that LED bulbs use approximately 25-80% less energy than incandescent bulbs, and you’ll be able to see the energy savings on your monthly electric bills. Additionally, LED bulbs last 3 to 25 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs, which means you won’t need to replace them as often. Fewer replacements save you money over the lifetime of the bulbs. All in all, replacing your home lighting with LED lighting fixtures is a cost-effective way to go green.
