One of our customers shared The Better Homes and Gardens updated 1/2/2025) article “These 6 Lighting Trends Will Be Illuminating Homes in 2025” which highlights 6 key trends in lighting in 2025. Our customer also shared that Brilliant’s product set and our ecosystem of partners truly met her needs for an integrated smart, sustainable, and wellness-oriented lighting solution in her Seattle home. While all 6 trends are of interest to design-minded homeowners, 3 in particular fall in line with Brilliant NextGen’s passion for smart home tech.
Integrated Smart Lighting Features
Integrated smart lighting is revolutionizing home design by offering personalization and automation. Brilliant NextGen’s systems control and automate customizable brightness, color temperature, and on/off or dim/bright schedules tailored to daily routines. Motion sensing allows lighting to come on automatically when you enter a room with your hands full and to turn off when motion ends. Automation and motion sensing ensure convenience and energy optimization - enabling homeowners to effortlessly create inviting, comfortable, and functional atmospheres. Whether managing lights remotely or automating transitions to suit the time of day, these solutions align with the growing desire for intelligent home integration.
Sustainable Lighting Innovation
The article emphasizes the rising demand for eco-friendly lighting options, which Brilliant NextGen prioritizes in its product offerings for advanced LED technology. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, residential ENERGY STAR-rated LED lights use at least 75% less energy and last as much as 30x longer than incandescent lighting- reducing both the cost of lighting your home and the amount of trash sent to the landfill. Color-changing smart LED lighting allows for change as you refine your lighting style - easily allowing you to modify how your home looks and feels without the need to change lighting fixtures. The bottom line for your pocketbook? Around $245 in energy and lightbulb costs per year for the average homeowner. (Motion sensing switches offer more than just convenience since they can help save even more by turning off unneeded and left-on lights.)
Wellness-Focused Lighting
Wellness-oriented lighting has become a cornerstone of modern design. The article highlights the benefits of lighting systems that mimic natural light cycles, supporting circadian rhythms to improve sleep, productivity, and overall well-being. Brilliant NextGen’s products can be customized to adjust brightness and temperature throughout the day, and users can set scenes for summer or winter lighting, fostering environments that nurture mental and physical health.
