ProSource to Feature Savant Smart Home Products in New Lighting Technology and Learning Center
SOUTHLAKE, Texas — ProSource, the largest audio, video, and integration buying group in the United States, today announced that Savant and USAI Lighting will showcase exceptional luxury lighting fixtures paired with the most advanced, intuitive smart home user experience that can transform any space with the touch of a button. From the wellness benefits of tunable white lights that maintain natural circadian rhythms through the progression of each day to the unmatched convenience of personalized scenes for every room or occasion, Savant and USAI Lighting have created an unforgettable demonstration of intelligent lighting for all visitors at the ProSource Lighting Technology and Learning Center, set to open in Q1 2021.
The space was initially conceived as the hands-on live Level 2 curriculum to the exclusive ProSource Lighting Technology Certification program launched earlier this year through ProSource University. The space will also provide an opportunity for Dallas Market Center retail and design-build customers to learn about lighting applications and advancements in an immersive setting. The Dallas Market Center is also home to popular trade shows such as Lightovation, which welcomes customers from around the world.
Savant redefines the modern smart home with a new feature called Daylight Mode that can align lighting schemes to match the natural circadian progression based on the time of day. The wellness experience can be personalized by the end user to adjust timing, intensity and color temperature.

"Savant is excited to participate in the ProSource Lighting Technology and Learning Center designed to educate dealers, homeowners, and specifiers about the limitless possibilities and lifestyle benefits of advanced lighting solutions," explained Angela Larson, Senior Vice President of Customer Operations at Savant. "The premium WRGB and Tunable White lighting solutions from USAI Lighting, combined with Savant control, provide the ultimate demonstration of intelligent lighting solutions. Savant's award-winning smart home ecosystem delivers the ability to incorporate wellness features into the home as well as personalize lighting to suit any mood or activity."
The customized Lighting Technology and Learning Center was designed by David Warfel and Mark Langston, both of Light Can Help You, and will feature multiple residential rooms showcasing smart home systems and devices for the benefit of ProSource members.
"Our original focus for the training center was lighting equipment only, so we were sure to include USAI's Infinite Color fixtures," said David Warfel, Chief Evangelist, Light Can Help You. "No light fixture reaches its potential without controls, and the Savant UI with TrueImage is as user friendly as it is unique. Savant's system gives us the flexibility to create an incredibly smooth moment-to-moment educational experience, and we're featuring their linear product as well. Savant's support went beyond lighting with an incredible sound system and a vanity mirror we're all wanting to take home!"
