Ever find yourself daydreaming about a home where your lights and shades adjust effortlessly to your every whim? Lutron’s HomeWorks QS makes it a reality. With advanced programming and centralized control, you’ll be able to manage your lighting and shading just the way you want. Below we outline some of the reasons we’ve installed Lutron’s premier lighting control system in luxury homes throughout Hawaii.
The appeal is obvious. Walk into any big-box store (or peruse Amazon) and you'll find smart bulbs for $10 to $15 that promise app control, voice commands, and millions of colors. Some homeowners invest a bit more in reliable options like Philips Hue, which genuinely deliver quality performance for bulb replacements. Either way, you're adding "smart" features without hiring an electrician or integrator or rewiring your home.
But here's what most people don't realize until months later: you're limited to the fixtures you already have. And if you went with truly budget options, you're also dealing with inconsistent colors, connectivity headaches, and automation that never quite works the way the marketing promised. There's a significant difference between smart bulbs replacing existing lighting and a professionally designed lighting system built into your home's architecture.
When you invite someone into your home or trust them with your clients’ properties, you want to feel confident they’ll get it right. Across Maui—from luxury estates to managed rentals—Control Freaks Hawaii has become the go-to team for smart technology, entertainment systems, and expert electrical work. But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what our clients have to say.
Maui’s beautiful weather makes time outdoors all the more exciting in winter; unfortunately, the sun doesn’t always cooperate with our plans. Unfailingly as November hits, sunsets start arriving sooner and sooner. Not only do gatherings by the pool and patio get cut short, but your driveway and walkways become uninviting.
Outdoor lighting is a great way to extend the day and provide greater safety for your family, but it can be a chore to deal with. But what if exterior lighting turned on itself based on the sunset and not guesswork? What if a well-lit exterior was always there to greet you without you lifting a finger?
It’s possible with automated outdoor lighting, which creates greater safety, visibility and curb appeal—while reducing your energy costs.
