Custom Illuminated Shades for Colorado Homes
Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades
Enjoy Natural Light without the Glare
~ NEW ~ A revolutionary new design, Illuminated Shades allow you to control the lighting temperature of your home, and the privacy, while also blocking bright light, harsh glare and UV rays. The trick is in the combination of LED strip lighting and reflective shading. By activating the LED lighting, the reflective backing of the shade illuminates the entire room. This is an amazing opportunity to create ambient lighting with floor-to-ceiling shade options.
- LED lighting illuminates the room
- Shades can offer light filtering or room darkening
- Lighting temperatures: bright and cool to warm and cozy
The temperature of the lighting creates the mood–from bright and cool to soft and warm. This ambient lighting is known to benefit our lives in a variety of ways, from increasing productivity and improving our moods, to calming us down when we need it most.
Three Levels of Lighting
With Aura Illuminated Shades, you can enjoy three very different levels of light control. The first is light-filtering, where the sun’s natural light glows through the shade fabric. With the reflective shade lowered into place, you can block light from entering for a room darkening experience. Then, activate the LED lighting for glowing ambient light within your home.
Lighting Temperature
The “temperature” of lighting is a personal preference for homeowners. Cool white light reminds us of daylight, while warm amber light is reminiscent of the setting sun. With Aura Illuminated Shades, you no longer have to choose which you prefer, as lighting can be adjusted from cool and bright to warm and cozy–depending on the time of day and your mood.
The Ideal Ambiance
Not only can you adjust the temperature of the lighting, the amount of light can be adjusted for the right atmosphere. Bright light can enhance your mood, making you feel productive and energetic, while dimming the light can calm the environment for quiet reflection and relaxation. Add PowerView® automation, and your motorized illuminated shades can be adjusted in an instant for the perfect atmosphere–every time.
Modern Light-Filtering Shades Designed for Comfort
The Aura Illuminated Shades feature is available with three different shade collections from Hunter Douglas. Enjoy light filtering, privacy and the ideal lighting atmosphere.

What are illuminated shades?
Aura Illuminated shades are a specialized innovation of Hunter Douglas. This system offers three different light levels at the same window: Light-filtering, blackout and LED lighting.
