Dim-to-Warm Lights

Two different color temperatures of light are generally useful at home: cool and warm light.

Cool light, which is bright white, is useful when you want to work, because it helps you see clearly and keeps you alert. However, the blue portion of the light spectrum that does this also interferes with sleep.

Warm light, which is more yellow, is great when you want to relax, because it makes the environment feel more inviting and does not interfere with sleep.

All bedrooms at Lion Canyon feature recessed light fixtures that provide both kinds of light: They provide white cool light when at maximum brightness, then gradually change to warmer light as you dim the brightness, hence the name "dim-to-warm" lights. These lights give you the best of both worlds, automatically providing the right kind of light when you need it without any extra effort or complication. The shift to warmer light also provides a cue that it's time to stop using devices like phone and laptops, whose ultra-bright screens also interfere with sleep.
