LIGHT SHOW

Mike Fitton, David Robaina, and Eric Robaina of Home Technology Solutions in Charlotte specialize in all kinds of home automation and tech, from centralized video distribution, to security, whole home audio, and—increasingly— smart lighting.

Pictured here is the Control4 Vibrant Lighting on full display. As Mike tells us, there are two main aspects of advanced lighting in a home. One is the ability to control lighting and add lights to smart scenes. The second is using light- ing to call attention to aspects of a home that owners want to highlight. Doing so can have a “drastic effect on the colors, hues and shades” of the surrounding space.

Plus, smart lighting can automatically adjust in color and temperature to match the natural circadian rhythm of the day. The Control4 Vibrant, framing this owner’s pool, provides intense color saturation, transition effects, and fadeto-white lighting effects. The tape light has a virtually unlimited RGB palette of color combinations.
