Smart bulbs contain many different colored LEDs, and when you select a setting from your phone or tablet, it will fine-tune your lights from cool to warm hues. Color temperatures are measured in Kelvins, and the lower the number, the warmer your space will feel. \u2018Candlelight\u2019 <a href=\"item\/useful-fun-ways-to-use-total-home-integration\">settings<\/a> at around 1800K will create warm, golden light, while \u2018daylight\u2019 at 7000K is a bright, icy white.<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Lighting and Wellness <\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>Our bodies\u2019 internal clocks\u2014also known as circadian rhythms\u2014regulate when we feel tired, awake, and hungry. Our circadian rhythms can be thrown out of sync by our unpredictable lifestyles, staying up too late or not sleeping enough. One major culprit? Lighting. You may have heard that the blue lights on screens can impair sleep. This also extends to all lighting in your house.<\/p>\r\n<p>With tunable lighting, you can set your lights to automatically adjust themselves throughout the day. In the morning, lights will appear bright and cool like a sunny day, inspiring serotonin production for alertness and productivity. By the evening, lights will be warmer and dim, like the sunset and firelight. This will trigger melatonin in your brain, so you\u2019ll sleep soundly at night.<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Added Comfort at Home <\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>Not only will your sleep improve with circadian lighting, but the <a href=\"smart-home-demo.php\">atmosphere of your house<\/a> will suddenly feel more inviting and comfortable. If you\u2019ve ever been inside on a sunny day with warm-colored lighting, you know how stuffy that can make a room feel. Or at nighttime, bright cool lights have a sickly effect, like a hospital room or city bus. Now, the same lightbulbs will change color for the perfect time of day. It will happen so gradually that you won\u2019t even notice your lights adjusting until it\u2019s already a golden afternoon.<\/p>\r\n<p>Could your Bel Air home benefit from tunable lighting? <a href=\"contact.php\">Contact Future Home Theater here<\/a> or call us at (310) 559-6100 to discuss your options.<\/p>","intro":"<p>Discover the Wellness Benefits of Smart Lighting Systems<\/p>\r\n<p>If you\u2019re feeling sluggish, sleepy, or just plain blah, that\u2019s no way to get through the days.
