May is National Home Remodeling Month and is a great reminder for homeowners to start checking off their growing home improvement to-do list. This month marks a time where homeowners begin gearing up for their summer home improvement projects. This is also a good time to plan and start making upgrades using a human centric approach – focusing on dynamic lighting and shade control to make the most of natural lighting, which is abundant during this time of year, and to improve the overall home environment.

In celebration of National Home Remodeling Month, Legrand brands QMotion and Vantage Controls are helping homeowners with unique shading solutions and lighting controls that make it easier to update their homes.

Upgrading to one of the industry’s most advanced automated lighting control systems, the Vantage InFusion system, has never been easier. Existing Vantage Q System and LiteTouch System owners can upgrade to an InFusion System with minimal cost (and limited effort for dealers) through the Vantage Upgrade Program. The InFusion control system offers enhanced control of energy efficient LED lighting, new innovative keypad styles and keypad functionality, mobile app control, and integration with residential A/V, shading, and other systems. InFusion also features:

• Adaptive phase technology for precise and multi-load dimming of LED lighting
• RGB control for precise color aesthetics
• New adorne^®  projective capacitive touch keypads
• Warm dim and human centric lighting solutions for enhanced lighting and well-being

Incorporating advanced shading systems combine both home improvement and design benefits. Shades can easily manage light for energy savings and help reduce heat and glare. An exciting upgrade option is the QMotion battery-operated Automated Roller Shades, which can be installed as a stand-alone unit or as a part of an integrated system. All automated roller shades from QMotion can be controlled via remote, smartphone or tablet, or with its exclusive manual override capability. Additional features include:

• Programmable scenes to raise and lower shades, keeping lighting and temperature at optimum levels.
• Patented manual override technology that allows shade operation with the tug of a hand and does not strip the motor unlike traditional roller shades.
• Customizable and elegant collection of fabrics and hardware to fit the aesthetic of any room throughout a home.

Just adding new window treatments can change the look of any space and is an easy but high impact way to update any room’s interior. QMotion’s most recent collection of decorative fabrics offers a wide range of options to beautifully complement any style.

With sophisticated lighting control and shading systems from Legrand, homeowners can make the most of National Home Remodeling Month and beyond.
