What Is Diffuse Lighting?

At Total Home Technologies, we partner with Control4, a global leader in smart home automation platforms. Their Vibrant Linear Lighting system enables our team of design and integration experts to transform a living space with a premium light diffusion experience. 

High-performance LED strips bring stunning accent lighting throughout your home, enhancing your finest architectural features while creating an expansive sense of place and time. These premier light strips can be placed in coves to develop soft, inviting illumination, making a room feel larger and more dimensional. 

Under cabinets, they create a sleek, modern look that adds depth and drama. On the underside of shelves and desks, they highlight unique objects and create indirect lighting for a room. Placed along baseboards and the edges of the ceiling, they bring dynamic, awe-inspiring brilliance. 

Can You Change the Light’s Color and Intensity?

Not only can you change the look and feel of a room by changing the color, but you’re also assured the most authentic hues permeate your space. Control4’s Vibrant Linear Lighting has a color rendering index rating of 90+, which translates to an excellent rating, guaranteeing these light sources accurately display subtle variations and colors just as they appear in natural light. 

We’ll program your system to change the lighting based on the activity. Press ‘Relax,’ and the colors, hues, temperatures, and intensities bring a sense of peace with lights that reflect the sunset. Having friends over for a casual gathering? Set the lights to the color of the tropics in hues of seafoam green, cerulean, aqua, and indigo.

Your lighting is only limited by your imagination. 

Does this Lighting System Offer Circadian Lighting?
