How Managing Light Improves Mood and Energy

We may not realize it, but light – and the absence of it – affects us in many ways. Instinctively, we may feel far more energetic on a bright sunny day than a rainy, dreary one. In fact, your mood and energy might swing dramatically when the sun comes out after an extensive cloudy period.

Fortunately, the Park City area and the Utah Wasatch Front are known for getting their fair share of sun and light. Yet there are still times in the mountains when daylight hours are short and days may be relatively dark. The good news is technology has solutions to keep your energy up no matter the weather or light.

In this blog, we’ll mention how two incredibly convenient smart solutions – home lighting automation and motorized shades – can help you make the most of natural and artificial light all day long.

Good Outdoor Sound Requires Good Planning

To get excellent sound quality indoors, most of the effort revolves around choosing the right equipment and matching it well. If you go with a good source component, well-built amplifier, and high-quality speakers, you are highly likely to end up with enjoyable sound.

When you do to take your sound outside, the right equipment also counts. But proper planning and installation will also make a huge difference in the end result. For example, in your indoor setup, the speakers can reflect sound off of walls and ceilings, helping to emphasize bass and other notes.  In wide-open areas outdoors, you won't have that and may need to have multiple speaker pairs and subwoofers to obtain the sound quality you expect.

How do you get an outdoor sound system for your home in Salt Lake City, UT, or the surrounding areas that sounds as good as your indoor setup? Keep reading to see four ways to get the most from your outdoor audio.
