Wall Switch Solutions

Legrand, a lighting industry leader for over 110 years, makes it a delight to hit the lights with their adorne® collection of switches, outlets, dimmers and wall plates. If the lights are constantly left on in your home when rooms are not in use, adorne® could be the solution. Their motion sensor dimmer switches turn the lights on and off as you go, with the option for manual control.

When you need to install more lights in a room, you don’t have to worry about traditional switches distracting from the ambiance. The adorne® collection features a wide range of colors and customizable options to match your existing décor. Not only are these switches and wall plates more visually appealing, but they are easily operable by push, touch, wave or tap of a button.

Sleek Outdoor Lighting

When the exterior of your home lacks light, you may not have room for additional fixtures. In response, LED step lighting for outdoor applications not only saves space, but also energy! The average LED bulb lasts about 25,000 hours compared to the incandescent at 1,500. Efficiently light the way for guests without raising energy costs or sacrificing the beauty of your landscape.

Space-Saving Indoor Lighting

Inside your home, the kitchen is another common area where lighting may be insufficient. Yet this room is often too full of appliances, cookware and glasses for extra light fixtures. In this case, you need a solution that doesn’t take up any counter space. Under-cabinet lighting, installed beneath kitchen cabinets with no visible wiring, provides the concentrated illumination you need to complete tasks.

Integrated Technology

Over the past several years, smart home devices have grown immensely in popularity. At Connecticut Lighting Centers, we partner with the best brands in the industry to allow homeowners more control over the features they use the most. For instance, Lutron™ Caséta Wireless to control indoor and outdoor lights and Nest to control home temperature and surveillance.

Many smart home technologies integrate with one another, so you can create one connected system to control, monitor and protect your home.
