LIGHTING SYSTEM

Noon Home (from $250 ; noon

home.com ) allows users to adjust

the light in an entire space with

a single touch. “When dinner is

served, you can swipe to change

the scene to Dining,” says Noon

cofounder Annie Cheung. The set-

ting dims living-room and kitchen

lights and focuses attention on

the table. “Once dinner is over,

you can switch to a brighter scene

in the living room for game time

or bring the lights down low for a

dance party.” Read more about

Noon Home in our next issue, in

a feature story about the 2018

Silicon Valley Idea House.
