What Are Aura Illuminated Shades?
The Aura Illuminated Shades system allows you to experience soft, natural light, block light & views, or illuminate the entire space with complete privacy. How do these shades do it? Aura Illuminated Shades have a light filtering shade option, allowing you to welcome softened, natural sunlight into your home. You can also block the outside light entirely for room darkening and total privacy. When you want a truly customized lighting experience, you close the shades for complete privacy and activate the LED lighting that is integrated into the headrail, using reflective shading to illuminate your space.
Customize Your Ambiance with Light Temperature Control
Aura shades offer built-in interior lighting that reflects off the shading to illuminate the space. The color of interior lights is known as the “temperature” of the lights. Cool, bright light is associated with daylight. Warm, amber light is commonly seen at sunset. Because lighting temperatures can evoke natural responses in our brains, you can customize the way your atmosphere feels by changing the lighting temperature. Aura Illuminated Shades allow you to shift the color to meet your desired vibe.
LED Shades with Built-In Light for the Perfect Atmosphere
With various options for shade settings, and the ability to adjust the color temperature of the LED lighting, Aura Illuminated Shades help you create the ideal atmosphere every time. In addition to turning on and off the LED lights, as well as changing the colors, you can dim or brighten the lighting to further customize your home. Combine this system with motorized shades for scene setting and saved favorites that you can access on a schedule, or in an instant.
Frequently Asked Questions About Aura Illuminated Shades
What are Aura Illuminated Shades?
Aura shades are a revolutionary Hunter Douglas innovation that offers integrated LED lighting into the headrail of the window shade. This LED lighting allows you to softly illuminate your space for a comfortable, adjustable glow when the shades are closed.
Does the LED lighting work when the shades are closed?
Yes. The LED lighting is meant to illuminate the interior of your home when the shade is closed, using the reflective material of the shading to spread the lighting throughout the room. You can enjoy complete privacy and a well-lit atmosphere at the same time.
Does the color or brightness of the light change?
Both can change. Aura Illuminated Shades allow you adjust the color temperature to meet the needs of your interior, from cool daylight to warm amber lighting. You can also brighten the LEDs or dim them to set the perfect ambiance.
Do Aura Illuminated Shades offer energy efficiency?
Yes. The integrated LED lighting uses minimal electricity, plus you’ll experience less need for overhead lights. Hunter Douglas shade fabrics help block radiant light that tend to heat up the home. The Sonnette® collection of cellular roller shades is available as Aura shades, and they will insulate your windows for better temperature control.
Is it possible to combine Aura Illuminated Shades with motorization?
Yes. Aura shades are compatible with Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation, which means you can enjoy the benefits of customized lighting, but also make automated adjustments via remote, smartphone app, or voice control. This helps when you want to create lighting “scenes” that sync with your lifestyle.
