For years, integrators have delivered smart lighting solutions centered on overhead fixtures such as recessed cans, pendants, and chandeliers controlled through a single app. While effective, that approach only delivers on a piece of the overall intelligent lighting experience. Accent lighting, task lighting, and decorative sources like table lamps or under-cabinet fixtures often are not tunable and are disconnected from the whole-home control system, requiring separate manual controls or additional apps.
When light sources such as smart under cabinet lighting and smart bulbs operate within the same app ecosystem as larger overhead fixtures, homeowners gain the ability to coordinate brightness, color temperature, scenes, and schedules across every layer of light in a room. Instead of isolated lighting zones that feel disconnected, the home delivers a unified atmosphere that is both visually polished and easier to manage.
This is especially impactful in spaces like kitchens and living rooms where layered smart lighting can dramatically influence how a space looks and feels. Tunable under cabinet lighting can provide crisp, bright illumination for cooking and food preparation during the day, then automatically shift to a warmer tone in the evening for entertaining or relaxation. Smart bulbs in lamps, and smart light strips and decorative fixtures can mirror those same adjustments, creating a seamless lighting environment throughout the home.
The lack of a solution that can provide the flexibility of tunable smart lighting in all areas of the home and the convenience of single app control across all devices has resulted in a fragmented experience for homeowners and a missed opportunity for integrators.
New GE Proseo smart switches and tunable lighting solutions, from Savant, changes that dynamic by making it easy for integrators to incorporate additional lighting layers into a home. By bringing tunable smart under cabinet lighting, bulbs, and other fixtures into the unified Savant app experience, integrators can now offer optimal whole-home lighting control. This seemingly simple advancement has meaningful implications for business growth and customer satisfaction.
Expanded Project Scopes Mean More Revenue
One of the most immediate advantages for integrators is the ability to expand the scope of projects without significantly increasing complexity. Integrating non-overhead smart lighting often requires additional wiring, specialized drivers, or separate control systems. That adds time, cost, and potential points of failure. With easily deployable GE Proseo solutions, these barriers are largely removed. Integrators can now include layered lighting as a standard part of their offering rather than an optional upgrade that can complicate a job.
This expanded scope directly translates into increased revenue per project. When the conversation shifts from lighting control to complete lighting design and control, it reframes the value proposition. Homeowners are no longer just investing in convenience; they’re also elevating their home’s look and feel. Adding GE Proseo tunable under cabinet lighting in kitchens, accent light strips for shelving, or smart bulbs in floor lamps becomes an easy upsell because the benefits are highly visible and immediately impactful.
Increased Retrofit and Remodel Opportunities
Another added benefit of offering GE Proseo solutions is the ability to more easily and effectively address retrofit opportunities. New construction has traditionally been the ideal scenario for comprehensive lighting systems, but it represents only a small portion of the market. Existing homes often present challenges due to wiring limitations and the disruption associated with installation. Solutions that incorporate tunable smart bulbs, undercabinet fixtures and other modular lighting elements allow integrators to deliver meaningful upgrades without opening walls or running new wire. This makes it easier to sell into existing homes, expand the customer base, and generate incremental business from past clients.
Beyond the initial installation, a more comprehensive lighting system also creates opportunities for ongoing engagement. Integrators can offer services to optimize and update more spaces in the home over time, creating potential recurring revenue streams and strengthening long-term client relationships.
Differentiation vs Competitors
At the same time, GE Proseo solutions can help integrators differentiate themselves in a crowded market. Many dealers can install smart switches and program basic scenes. Fewer can deliver a fully layered, tunable lighting experience that integrates every light source in a home. By offering that level of quality and completeness from two trusted brands, GE and Savant, integrators can further position themselves as trusted home advisors and residential technology experts. This distinction can be especially valuable when working with architects, builders, and interior designers, opening the door to earlier involvement in projects and stronger referral networks.
Happier and Healthier Homeowners
For homeowners, the benefits are equally compelling and they start with simplicity. Instead of juggling multiple switches, remotes, or apps, they can control every light in their home from a single interface – the award-winning Savant app. Unified control reduces friction in everyday life and makes the system feel intuitive rather than complicated.
More importantly, it enables a higher level of personalization. Lighting is most effective when it’s tunable and layered, combining ambient, task, and accent sources. When all those elements are connected, homeowners can create scenes that truly transform a space. A kitchen can shift from bright and functional for meal prep to warm and inviting for entertaining. A living room can transition from daytime brightness to a relaxed evening atmosphere with a single command.
Tunable lighting further enhances this experience by allowing adjustments to color temperature throughout the day. Savant’s patented Daylight Mode is an intelligent, circadian-based software feature that automatically adjusts indoor light intensity and color temperature to match the natural progression of the sun. It promotes health, sleep-wake cycles, and wellness by providing cool, high-intensity light during the day and warm, low-intensity light in the evening. When this capability extends across all lighting types, the result is a cohesive environment that feels intentional and balanced.
Convenience also plays a major role. Whole-home control allows homeowners to turn off all lights at once, automate schedules and routines based on time or occupancy, and make quick adjustments with the touch of a button or through voice without moving from room to room. These features are not just luxuries; they improve usability and can even help maximize energy efficiency.
GE Proseo lighting solutions bridge a longstanding gap in smart home lighting. For integrators, it creates a clear path to higher revenue, stronger differentiation, and deeper client relationships. For homeowners, it delivers a smarter, simpler, more cohesive, and more enjoyable way to experience their living spaces. By offering tunable smart lighting options for all areas of the home and enabling complete control of every layer of light, GE Proseo products powered by Savant, elevate smart lighting from a collection of features to a truly integrated lifestyle solution.
