Smart Home Lighting

Revolutionize the Way You Manage Light in Your Home

In an average home, controlling your lights is all about flipping lots of switches. The lights in a room are either on or off. Depending on the time of day, however, the amount of natural light, and what activities you're going to be doing in the room, smart automated lighting can revolutionize the way you experience lighting.

Lighting and shading controls enable you to set the perfect amount of light at the touch of a button or the sound of your voice. These systems give you unprecedented control, provide a superior experience, and increase security in your home. When implemented correctly, they will turn off when you set your alarm and dim before you go to bed.

As the largest and most experienced residential lighting and shading dealer in the Carolinas, Audio Advice can design, install, and program the perfect solution for you, regardless of the size and complexity of the system.

If you're building a new home, we will work with you and your architect or builder to transform ordinary lighting into an elegant automated lighting system that enhances your home’s beauty and gives you the freedom to easily set any mood you desire.

Whether you need help with choosing the best LED lighting, selecting the right motorized shades for your home, or pathway lighting designour team of Smart Home & Lighting Designers are here to help you every step of the way.
