Using Lighting to Set the Perfect Holiday Party Mood

Advanced Lighting Control Systems Create Festive and Inviting Atmospheres

The holiday seasons are upon us: a time filled with music, good fun, and laughter. Boxes come out of storage, and decorations grace homes, from mantels to ceilings. Family and friends gather for shared meals amidst a backdrop of music, a festive ambiance that few can compare with. 

There’s one element, however, that influences every aspect, a central piece of creating the perfect atmosphere. It’s the right lighting, and it sets the stage for every holiday. Today’s lighting does it miraculously. 

Here, we’ll explore the latest lighting control systems and how they’re helping homeowners in Virginia Beach, VA and the Coastal Virginia area reimagine the holidays.

Lighting Aligned with the Holidays

At DomesAV, we program advanced LED lighting control systems that create the ideal illumination for every holiday. Pressing ‘Halloween,’ Thanksgiving,’ Christmas,’ ‘New Year,’ ‘Hanukkah,’ or ‘Johnny’s Birthday,’ creates the perfect lighting for each occasion. 

For some, that may mean various indoor and outdoor lights that transform into red, green, and gold. Tapping ‘Holiday Dinner’ creates lights resembling golden candlelight in the dining room. Accent and ambient lighting illuminate the living room in emerald and ruby, and bathrooms shine brilliantly in shades of arctic blue.

The Movie Classics

For many families, holiday meals transition to snuggling up with loved ones and watching a classic holiday movie in the media room. Press ‘Movie Night,’ and the lights dim while the blackout shades lower. When it’s time for a trip to the kitchen, restroom, or bar, press ‘Break,’ and a trail of lights lead to your destination. 

Creating Culinary Masterpieces

On average, it’s estimated that people spend about three hours in the kitchen preparing the holiday meal on Christmas day. One way to make this a pleasurable experience is to illuminate the kitchen in just the right manner.

Press the ‘Cooking’ button on an elegant keypad, and task lighting throughout the kitchen illuminates, brilliant and beautiful. When heading to the dining room, the task lighting fades, and soft, diffuse cove and under cabinet lighting come alive.

Bringing Daylight Indoors

Today’s advanced lighting control systems allow your lights to follow the rhythm of the sun. Midday, your home seems to be filled with natural light. By day’s end, your lights have settled into a warm glow reminiscent of the setting sun. In addition to incredible beauty, it helps your guests relax, melting their cares away amidst good conversation, delicious food and beverages, and illumination that gives their bodies and minds a sense of peace.

Seamless Integrating with Smart Home Automation

All your systems align for the occasion when integrated with a home automation platform. Tap ‘Holiday Dinner,’ and the lights transform into the perfect setting. Your holiday playlist streams through the whole-home audio system, your outdoor landscape lights transition to the colors of the season, the climate adjusts, and the doors unlock to welcome your guests in.
