Do you remember standard dimmable fixtures? The ones that remained the same hues as they brightened and dimmed? If you’re looking around at your home’s lighting system as you shake your head yes, it may be time for an upgrade. 

Today’s lighting fixtures are incredibly sophisticated in their capabilities and design elements. Standard white lights have given way to natural LED lighting that mimics the sun, promoting health and well-being. Lights change for every occasion, with access to millions of colors at the touch of a button.  

The key is combining this sophisticated lighting with simple controls. That’s where Savant and USAI Lighting come in.
