This newly built custom home in Southern Ontario, beautifully encapsulates a modern and unique style while still maintaining an overall warm and cozy feeling. Designed for the homeowners’ needs, it has a wonderful layout for everyday family living while providing a beautiful and welcoming space for entertaining guests. Throughout the home there is a combination of traditional, and Wi-Fi controlled lighting to create the perfecting ambiance for any mood or setting. For their Wi-Fi enabled lighting requirements, the homeowners decided to go with Liteline’s OnCloud products.
Liteline OnCloud is a full smart lighting solution, with two full color and white tuning downlights, one white tuning downlight, full color and white tuning tape, undercabinet lighting kits, and wall controls for the smart and traditional fixtures. These OnCloud fixtures allow you to seamlessly control your lights through the WiZ app on your smartphone or tablet from anywhere, or through smart home speakers. Create scenes, timers, and much more with color, to bring excitement into every room of your home.

The homeowners were looking for creative ways to integrate new technology into their home and the Electrician, Rodney, showed them Liteline’s OnCloud family. They chose to install traditional LUNA 2’’, 4’’, and LUNA 56 PRO fixtures throughout the home, and they connected most of these fixtures to OnCloud Dimmers for wireless control, while the fixtures in low traffic areas, like stairways or closets, are wired to traditional dimmers. The LUNA 2’’ fixture was also utilized outside the front door and the LUNA 4’’ in the outdoor porch areas, to match the overall feel of the gathering spaces inside and out. These fixtures are also connected to OnCloud Dimmers to be a part of the WiZ ecosystem.

The LUNA 56 PRO was utilized for its high light output, by strategically installing these fixtures in the higher ceiling area in the living room around the bulkhead for general illumination. The living room bulkhead is a double diamond shape and includes OnCloud Mood Tape, with full color and white tuning, all around to bring more attention to this decorative feature. This tape is connected to an OnCloud Room Controller which allows for ON/OFF, dimming, white tuning, and 4-favorite modes selected in the app to be controlled from the wall. This Room Controller also controls the traditional LUNA 56 PRO fixtures wired to the OnCloud Dimmer for full room control.

A high quality white tape, Powertape, was also used for accent lighting around the bulkhead over the dining room table. The dinning room consists of 3 different control levels, separating the general illumination downlights, the Powertape, and the chandelier. This allows the homeowners to control the level of lighting they want while they dine, be it a bright family dinner, or a romantic dimmed atmosphere.

The lighting and customization capabilities are not limited to just inside this cozy residence. With the placement of SlimLED OnCloud fixtures within the outdoor soffits of the home,  the homeowners are able to easily change their outdoor lighting from everyday nightly glows to fun holiday colors at the press of a button!

The homeowner herself was very pleased with the lighting design, the products, and ease of use. When discussing the lighting in their home, she loved how it all came together in perfect harmony and how the WiZ app was very intuitive.

“We are absolutely in love with the lights we have chosen. Although Wi-Fi lighting is not essential to illuminating the space, it was essential to enhance our lives. I get so excited to change the colors of the lights. It really makes the entire space feel different and unique with each change.”

The Wi-Fi control capabilities through the WiZ app allow for the them to set their lighting to fit their needs, with an option for Circadian Rhythm. This is available with all OnCloud fixtures as well as Liteline Dim-to-Warm fixtures including the LUNA. This functionality not only elevates the overall lighting, but it provides the capabilities to enhance overall sleep, mood, and mental health by setting the lights to follow the suns natural progress throughout the day.

Plus, connecting lighting fixtures throughout the residence to the OnCloud ecosystem allows for the homeowners to have control and flexibility to not only save on energy but to have creative freedom to change the overall feeling of the space with ease from anywhere in the world.
