Have you ever screwed in a new lightbulb, only to find it was much too harsh and bright—or the reverse? Too warm and sleepy for the home office?

Light bulbs come in all shades of white, and sometimes they aren’t appropriate for various times of day. Light dimmers can improve the atmosphere, but if you’re using cool-toned bulbs, dimming won’t make them feel any cozier. 

Luckily, when you have a smart Lutron lighting system in your Southlake, TX house, you can enjoy both cool and warm lighting. Your LED lights will be automated to adjust on their own throughout the day. In the morning, lights appear brighter and cool, gradually warming and dimming by bedtime.
