    New Partnership Illuminates Bright Opportunities

    At Jackson Hole AV, we’re very excited about a new partnership between our main integration platform, Savant, and Usai Lighting, a leading manufacturer of refined architectural light fixtures. This partnership brings a new level of lighting elegance and control to the integrated smart home employing the Savant platform.

    Savant is a national leader in home control and automation. Its technology integrates climate, lighting, entertainment, and energy in a single application interface for the homeowner, giving comprehensive smart home control available through both iOS and Android. 

    USAI Lighting is an industry leader in the architectural lighting market, pushing boundaries with their award-winning LED fixtures. The company not only develops the light engines, they also excel in optics and thermal management. Their innovative LED options create the perfect balance of color technology, visual design, and first-rate performance.

    Together, Savant and USAI Lighting will provide seamless lighting solutions solving compatibility issues and optimal lighting control for the smart home owner. 

    Smart home owners will now be able to curate their lighting for any activity, says Bonnie Littman, President and CEO of USAI Lighting. The combination of Savant and USAI Lighting’s advanced controls and lighting technology, she says, provides an intuitive way for homeowners to experience the power of personalized lighting. 

    The partnership will revolutionize how tunable white and WRGB lighting can be organized and controlled. 

    Savant’s technology enables home owners to experience virtual lights in any room from photographs taken and stored on their mobile devices. Home owners can adjust dimming levels, kelvin temperatures, and WRGB colors from their mobile device, Savant touch screens and Pro Remote, and from Savant Scene access via voice command. Together, Savant and USAI Lighting will employ Savant’s scene engine and USAI Lighting’s color research to provide pre-set light color and scene content easily implemented and modified based on personal choice and design.

    This partnership will also benefit the smart home family’s wellness. USAI Lighting’s tunable white light and WRGB technologies, combined with Savant’s intelligent automation, will provide a “default circadian rhythm mode,” available for any single room or the entire home. This setting provides indoor lightning that matches the natural outdoor lighting rhythms, positively affecting natural Circadian rhythms with the proper light color and intensity to align with the time of day.
