Nowadays, smart home technology exists for almost every aspect of the home, from entertainment to climate control and security to lighting. However, while these technologies are designed to make your life easier, controlling them all separately can cause confusion as you juggle different apps, remotes, and switches.

We’ve all felt the struggle. Your kids are on their iPads, and your partner is watching TV while scrolling through Instagram on their smartphone while you desperately try to connect with colleagues over a Zoom call. You move your laptop around until you reach that one spot that, for some reason, is above the refrigerator in the kitchen, where you get the best speed.

You call your internet provider, and their suggestion is just to reset your router. And maybe put a chair near your refrigerator. Not a great solution, but what are your options? Having a high-speed internet connection is essential, sure, but how it's dispersed around your Ogunquit, ME home and devices makes all the difference. Having a whole home Wi-Fi setup is the answer.

Longtime residents in bucolic coastal Maine like to talk about the good old days when life was simpler, and there was less technology to deal with.  While life may indeed be faster and more complex in this modern world, it’s also true that innovations in technology have vastly improved our lives.

Not only is it far more efficient than incandescent and fluorescent technologies, but there are new features that can make LED lighting adapt to a more natural state when living indoors.

A recent development has been the introduction of tunable LED lighting systems into residential environments – lights that shift throughout the day to adjust to our circadian rhythms.

From ecological friendliness to wellness, keep reading to see the advantages that LED Light fixtures can bring to your Kennebunkport home.
