the luxury of hunter douglas illuminated shades
Aura® Illuminated Shades are designed to create adjustable illumination at the window—a flexible light source that replicates the feel of daylight. Designed to allow homeowners to manage the light at their window more fully, these shades are fundamentally two elements in one:
The Window Treatment
A beautiful, functional custom shade for solar control and privacy. Homeowners can choose from three popular shade types for the front panel: Vignette® Roman Shades, Designer Roller Shades, or Sonnette® Roller Shades.
The Illumination
The revolutionary system integrates a dimmable, linear LED lighting system directly into the headrail, combined with a room-darkening liner. This control allows you to bathe your window and the surrounding sheer fabric in a beautiful, natural-looking glow, mimicking the sun or moon, even on a cloudy day or late at night.
Eliminate the dark, flat appearance that windows often have at night by installing Aura® Illuminated Shades. The outward-facing liner protects your home's curb appeal while your internal facing fabric panels soften the luminous glow of variable lighting.
Create customized lighting scenarios
When you add these shades, you have ultimate customization, including dimmable control, and color temperature. During your scheduled consultation, our skilled team can go into further details about the shade's lighting features.
Precise Dimmable Control
The integrated LEDs are fully dimmable, allowing you to control the illumination intensity with precision. At Rebarts, we help you choose the proper settings for different times of day—from a bright, early-morning glow to a soft, nighttime nightlight.
Color Temperature Matching
Choose from warm or cool color temperatures for the integrated light. Whether it's a cozy, warm white or a crisp, modern cool white, you can seamlessly match the Aura® glow to your home's existing lighting scheme.
Fabric Selection
The Aura® system is compatible with Vignette® Roman Shades, Designer Roller Shades, or Sonnette® Roller Shades. Choose from a wide array of premium fabrics that interact perfectly with both natural light (when the sun is out) and the integrated illumination.
Aura® illumination with powerview®+
Because of the integrated lighting system and motorized closure options, Aura® Illuminated Shades uses the advanced PowerView+™ Automation system, ensuring that the shade's motion and lighting are controlled seamlessly. PowerView+™ can control shade and liner positioning as well as illumination strength, color, and tone.
PowerView+ can be hard-wired to the home via the low-voltage Smart Power Supply to power and communicate with PowerView+ shades, such as Aura®. The system uses the Pebble® remote, the PowerView® App on your smart devices, and the PowerView® Hub to manage your shades by voice with your smart home assistant. Imagine the light turning on as the sun sets and dimming for bedtime. We ensure your system manages your daily rhythm perfectly, so you don't have to think about it.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly are Aura® Illuminated Shades?
They're two products in one: a custom Hunter Douglas shade for solar control and privacy, plus a dimmable LED lighting system built right into the headrail, illuminating the shade. The LEDs wash the window and the fabric in an adjustable glow that mimics natural daylight—or soft moonlight—independent of the time of day or weather. A room-darkening liner faces outward to protect your home's nighttime curb appeal, while the fabric panel facing the room softens the light. It eliminates that flat, dark look windows take on after sunset and adds ambient lighting to your home.
Which shade styles and light settings can I choose for Aura® Illuminated Shades?
The front panel comes in three styles—Vignette® Roman Shades, Designer Roller Shades, or Sonnette® Roller Shades—so you can match Aura® Illuminated Shades to the rest of your window treatments. The integrated light is fully dimmable on your smart device, from a bright early-morning glow down to a soft nighttime nightlight, and you choose the color temperature, from cozy warm white to crisp cool white, to match your home's existing lighting. We'll help you dial in settings for different times of day during the consultation.
How are Aura® Illuminated Shades controlled, and do they work with a smart home?
Aura® Illuminated Shades run on Hunter Douglas's advanced PowerView+™ Automation, which controls both the shade and liner position and the light's intensity, color, and tone together. You operate it with the Pebble® remote, the PowerView® app, or voice through your smart-home assistant, and you can schedule it—imagine the glow easing on as the sun sets and dimming for bedtime automatically. For Bay Area smart homes in Menlo Park, Atherton, and the South Bay, this integrates with the systems you likely already run.
Does Aura® need to be hard-wired, and can you install it?
Yes—because of the integrated lighting and motorized operation, Aura® Illuminated Shades is best powered by a low-voltage Smart Power Supply that's hard-wired into the home, which makes it best suited to where we can add or plan the wiring. This is a complex, integrated system, and as a Hunter Douglas Gallery dealer with over 40 years in Bay Area homes, we handle measurement, wiring coordination, installation, and programming in-house so it operates seamlessly from day one.
