PowerShades, a provider of manual and automated window shades for residential, commercial, and hospitality applications, has expanded further into the smart-home ecosystem with the introduction of PowerShades Smart Lighting.
Introduced at CEDIA 2024 in Denver, PowerShades Smart Lighting is available in both Down Lighting and Flex RGBW Strip Lighting, plus assorted sizes, styles, colors, and beam angles. Down Lighting has been designed to be completely agnostic of the control system, making it extremely versatile. They have a very smooth dimming response and are dimmable down to 1 percent.
The numbers back up Chacon’s observation. The global smart lighting market is expected to experience a compound annual growth rate of 22.1 percent from 2023 to 2030 to reach a hefty $72.35 billion (USD) by 2030.
PowerShades Smart Flex RGBW Strip Lighting can be scheduled to coordinate with the user’s automated shades according to the sun position at the geographic location of the install — with brightness and color temperature adjusting to compensate for sun color and brightness throughout the day and particular season.
The company is partnering with Converging Systems for control of the new Flex RGBW Strip Lighting, as their eNode controllers have drivers for all the major control systems. Both products will be available exclusively through the Powerhouse Alliance, PowerShades’ distribution partner.
