Lighting Controls
Automated lighting systems have historically been regarded as a bit of an expensive indulgence. In fact nothing could be further from the truth - developments in technology have driven down installation prices and a lighting control system can open up a whole new lifestyle for home owners.
In fact it is all about eliminating compromises that you may not have even considered! In the traditional sense, lighting control has meant using numerous light switches and dimmers, however this cannot offer the very real benefits offered by an automated lighting system that fixes lights to suit different lighting schemes in different rooms at different times of the day.
This is done by grouping lights together appropriately, specifying the best intensities for each fixture and programming a system that can be controlled via touch control, voice, PC or even PDA.
Some Examples
Specifically we are talking about things like
being greeted by feature lighting as you pull up to your front door.
enhancing the appearance of your room by intelligent highlighting of its architecture and features creating the desired ambience according to your changing requirements for example softness or warmth, quietness or even excitement.
providing intelligent night lighting from a low level in your childrens’ bedrooms to subtly lit paths to bathrooms or down the stairs.
Besides these benefits to daily life, there are real security advantages to automated lighting, these range from external lights being triggered by movement or ambient light up to very latest systems that replicate the exact lighting pattern of the previous two weeks if you go away - far better and more advanced than using a plug-in timer switch.
