September is CEDIA EXPO 2009

Every thing is new about the CEDIA Expo in Atlanta this year. It's a very exciting atmosphere and the industry is ready to move in a positive direction again with the economy gaining strength. LyteSnyc enjoys attending events such as this and the CES Show as it allows us to see first hand the latest industry tends and new products.

Building/home automation and audio/video has erupted into a flood of manufactures and installers offering new products. At LiteSync we have been watching this evolve over the past 30 years and within the last 10 years is when we have seen the most growth. Everywhere the consumer looks there is new product choices and vendors offering this industry credential or that industry credential...it becomes a daunting task to know what is the right choice for ones budget and needs.

LiteSync's approach is to align themselves with manufactures that have been been in the industry for decades like ourselves. We all will be here years from now for the support you need. Our best advice to consumers is...do your homework! Ask the vendor you are considering the tough questions. If their automation is controlling your lighting, what education, what credentials do they have in the lighting discipline? It's much more than just turning some lights on and off rest assured and we have witnessed their failings in the most expensive of projects. Do they have the electrical contractors license to execute all phases of your work or do they have to hire others to support them? While many vendors put on a very good facade, there are big holes in their service and these holes can affect you and the cost of your project.


 

Automation can save energy dollars, make your living better!

A home or building isn't complete with out systems that control lighting, power, audio, video, communications, air conditioning/heating, window treatments and anything else you can need. We all live by a variety of lights on and off everyday so why run back and forth from multiple switches to make it all happen? Why not push one button or simply have it programed to happen for you? One button from your room when you hear a "bump" in the night can bring on many sources of illumination inside and outside your home. As the sun rises or sets, lights and window shades adjust automatically thus utilizing daylight harvesting techniques.

Today we want our audio/video at the touch of our fingers with music and video feed servers. Multi-room audio/video is the norm today and making it all work simply for you is critical. A "smart home" isn't very smart if you must struggle to make it work. How nice is it to have one touch screen remote that can literally meet your every need and be customized for your lifestyle and your home or building.http://lightcompose.com/automation.html

This is where Light Composers, Inc. excels as compared to the automation only contractor or as compared to the standard electrician. We have the credentials, the licenses and industry associations to best meet today's synchronization requirements. The layout and design of lighting, power and low voltage systems can be complex in order to make it very easy for you. Relying on multiple contractors to meet these complex needs and arrive at the optimal end product is not the best approach today. Light Composers, Inc. has an overview of the big picture and can properly design and install lighting and power systems of your home or building. http://lightcompose.com/automation.html
