Are Your Lights Helping or Harming Your Health? 

Sleeping well, reducing stress, and eating mindfully—these are all keys to living a long, healthy life. 

But what if we told you your home’s lighting could be getting in the way of these healthy habits? 

By now, it’s common knowledge that lighting has a significant influence on our mental and physical well-being. Seasonal affective disorder is all too common throughout our Pennsylvania winters. Blue light is known to disrupt sleep, and red light therapy is popular for its healing benefits. 

So if the sun and screens are influencing our mental health, why wouldn’t our home’s lights? The truth is, your home’s lighting does alter your circadian rhythm and well-being. Lights that are too dim and warm during the day can lead one to feel fatigued and depressed, while bright, cool-toned lights at night inspire anxiety and restless nights. 

That’s why people are swapping out their standard light bulbs and switches for a lighting control system that provides the best of both worlds. Here’s why homeowners in Montgomery County, PA, are embracing smart lighting control.
