In this article, you\u2019ll discover the best lighting technologies that can make your new home more comfortable and stylish.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re designing your new home, I’m sure comfort is what’s most important to you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every environment should give you a feeling of deep well-being. And every feature should be designed to make your life easier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this sense, lighting technologies have made great strides.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, light in the home can do much more than just illuminate a dark room.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And it can be controlled in ways that were unthinkable a few years ago, by automating most of the controls or bringing them to the devices you use every day.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve followed OLEV for some time now, you probably know that our main focus is <\/span>developing smart lighting solutions that improve people’s well-being<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

So let’s take a look at the technologies that are capable of making your home a real smart home, welcoming and relaxing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dynamic light for your well-being at any time of day<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"circadiano_schema_OLEV_LUCE<\/p>\n

We have talked several times in this blog about <\/span>how light affects people’s well-being within an enclosed environment<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dynamic light technology allows you to switch from bright to soft light, or from cooler to warmer light.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And that’s not all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It also allows you to mimic the variation of natural light, the healthiest light possible, by shaping it to your daily needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a few examples.<\/span><\/p>\n

Biolight<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n

\"EXAGON_SILENCE_BIOLIGHT_ambiente_cambio_luce_olev_lampada_design_fonoassorbente_4\"<\/p>\n

Biolight <\/a><\/span>is the OLEV technology that reproduces the variation of natural light in a completely automatic way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to Biolight, you can have the light that best suits your psycho-physical needs at any time of day.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Active<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n

\"OLEV_MERCEDES_active_lampada_led_schermi_videoterminali\"<\/p>\n

Active <\/a><\/span>is the OLEV technology that automatically adjusts the intensity of artificial light based on the amount of natural light in the room.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to Active, you can have the artificial light perfectly adjusted to your functional needs at any time of day.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dim to Warm<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n

\"olev_POLY_ESAGONO_DTW_dim-to-warm-luce-intelligente_dimmerabile\"<\/p>\n

The Dim to Warm <\/a><\/span>allows you to control the colour temperature of the light and its intensity at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n

By lowering the intensity, the light becomes warm and soft, creating an intimate and relaxed atmosphere.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just like the old halogen bulbs.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lighting at your fingertips: home automation and Casambi<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"OLEV_wifi_casambi\"<\/p>\n

Managing these features is really simple.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to modern home automation systems, it is also possible to enjoy the benefits of dynamic lighting through less complex and invasive solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of them is Casambi.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Casambi is the system that allows you to manage light through apps for smartphones, tablets, or smartwatches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A Bluetooth control unit will be installed directly in the lamp, allowing you to instantly control the light.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lighting management by voice command<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"EXAGON_SILENCE_BIOLIGHT_TUNABLE_WHITE_cambio_luce_olev_lampada_design_fonoassorbente_comando_vocale_EN\"<\/p>\n

Not just screens.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most interesting trends of the last few months is the <\/span>management of lighting by voice command<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The most advanced LED lamps can be configured to be controlled by devices like <\/span>Alexa<\/b> and <\/span>Google Assistant<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Commands such as <\/span>“Ok Google, turn the lights on\/off”<\/span><\/i> or <\/span>“Alexa, turn the lights on\/off”<\/span><\/i> allow you to switch from total darkness to an illuminated space while sitting comfortably on the sofa…\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or to create spectacular lighting settings, perfectly tailored to the activities you do in each room of your home.<\/span><\/p>\n

And in this regard, let me make a consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hundreds of light fixtures that are really easy to set up, suitable for those who are not familiar with the technology, are rapidly becoming available on the market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But voice-controlled lamps are NOT all the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s one thing to buy a low-cost light bulb or table lamp that is already pre-set for voice control…\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is very different to integrate voice control into a large and complex lighting project for a luxury villa.<\/span><\/p>\n

At OLEV, we use specific components to add compatibility with Alexa and Google Assistant to the designer lamps in our collection.<\/span><\/p>\n

This way our lighting designers can provide our customers with <\/span>the 3 essential features that a voice-controlled home lighting should have<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n
