An Inside Look at Barrett’s Technology Solutions’ Exclusive Lighting Lab Event for Chicago’s Top Designers and Architects

When creating a truly extraordinary living space, lighting is everything. This is not just mere illumination; lighting sets the mood, creates ambiance, and brings out the best of a home's architecture and decor. At Barrett's Technology Solutions, we understand this, and that's why we created a unique demonstration experience showcasing the latest technology and techniques in lighting control systems and design. 

Recently, we hosted a two-day event that brought together top architects, designers, and contractors from the Chicago area to discuss the latest innovations in lighting. In this blog, we’ll take you behind the scenes of this exclusive event and show you how Barrett’s is helping our clients and partners take full advantage of lighting technology in their projects. 

Explore Hidden Technology and Séura Mirror TVs

As we head toward 2025, the interior design trend known as minimalism continues to redefine our living spaces. As it reshapes toward a more personalized approach, with some bright and bold designs displacing neutral creams and whites, today’s minimalism is a combination of functionality, serenity, and beauty. It’s about living a joy-filled life and surrounding yourself with the things that you love.

The challenge for interior designers is technology. The convenience, comfort, and incredible experiences home technology provides are hard not to love. Yet, as the possibilities in home entertainment explode and more smart devices for home solutions enter the market, AV and automated systems begin taking over the once-clean lines and elegant simplicity of luxury homes. 

At Barrett’s Technology Solutions, we’re committed to providing our clients with the latest technology that defines ease of living and enjoyment while retaining their homes’ aesthetics. You can live a life filled with the benefits of automation, stunning images, and breathtaking sound in every room of your home. The key is hidden technology.

One of our partners and favorite brands in this space is Séura Mirror TVs. Let’s explore what they offer homeowners in Union Pier, MI. 

Managing Your Home’s Energy Effortlessly

Savant is a luxury home automation platform known for its customization and the ability to scale up for large luxury estates. In 2021, it came out with Savant Power and changed the face of smart home energy systems. 

The Savant Power System is the ultimate smart energy management solution for your Chicago, IL, home. While several of these systems are on the market, Savant Power has given homeowners control at the circuit level and, as Savant does, created scenes that let homeowners direct their energy at the touch of a button. Let’s explore what this means and why it places Savant at the top of the pack.

Managing the Power Grid

Numerous systems, like Savant, offer solar power and battery storage. As the sun creates energy, it’s stored in batteries, enabling homeowners to use its power when it best suits them. Green energy becomes available 24/7, accessed with the tap of an icon on a smartphone app.

Controlling Your Home’s Energy Usage

Savant goes a step further by using sensors and controllers built into smart modules that are inserted into your home’s existing circuit breaker. Via the Savant app, you can see which circuits use the most energy, including how much each appliance uses, and turn them on and off from anywhere.
