Here are answers to the most common questions our clients ask before starting their smart home integration.
How many recessed lights do I need?
Rule of thumb: one 6" can per 25–35 sqft for general lighting. We do a lighting plan during the site visit accounting for ceiling height, room use, and natural light.
Tunable white vs RGB — which should I get?
Tunable white (warm-to-cool) is ideal for living areas — better sleep, better focus during day. RGB is for accent and entertainment spaces (media rooms, kids' rooms, holiday lighting).
Can you retrofit my existing fixtures?
Yes. We replace incandescent/halogen with LED retrofit kits, add smart dimmers, and program scenes. Often no drywall work needed.
