Avira turns your home's exterior into a canvas — refined architectural ambiance one night, full seasonal celebration the next, all from your phone. The Avira app is the control center for the Avira architectural holiday lighting system: a professionally installed platform built around patented dual-LED bulb technology and a precision aluminum track system (patent pending). Avira's patent pending dual-display design puts two independent lighting systems in one — a rear-facing display for soft architectural illumination that gives your home an elevated evening presence year-round, and a front-facing display for the color, animation, and warmth of holidays and celebrations. Run them separately or together. ONE APP. EVERY PROPERTY. Manage your home, office, vacation home, or cabin from a single account. Each property connects through its own Avira controller, so you can adjust your lighting whether you're standing in the driveway or halfway across the country. THEMES FOR EVERY MOMENT Save complete lighting experiences as Themes and apply them to one Atmosphere or all of them at once. Halloween. Thanksgiving. Christmas. A birthday. An ordinary Tuesday that deserves something warmer. Customize colors, effects, animation patterns, brightness, and timing — then bring a Theme back with a single tap. SET IT AND FORGET IT Schedule Shows and Themes by time or occasion so your home is lit the way you want it without opening the app at all. DESIGNED AROUND YOUR SYSTEM Avira's 48V low-voltage architecture, patent-pending plug-and-play components, and concealed track were engineered alongside this app as one platform — and it's built to grow. Future landscape, tree, and whole-property products connect into the same ecosystem and the same app. GETTING STARTED The Avira app requires an installed Avira architectural holiday lighting system with an Avira controller. Avira is sold and installed exclusively through authorized professional dealers. To find one near you, visit www.aviralighting.com. Avira™ is a product of Village Lighting Co. Protected by U.S. Patent and additional patents pending. See www.aviralighting.com/patents.
