Lighting Control Systems
In the past, 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 iPhone or iPad.
Automated Lighting Systems allow you to:
- Be greeted by feature lighting as you pull up to your front door
- Enhance the appearance of your room by intelligent highlighting of its architecture and features
- Create the desired ambience according to your changing requirements for example softness or warmth, quietness or even excitement.
- Provide intelligent night lighting from a low level in your children's bedrooms to subtly lit paths to bathrooms or down the stairs
- Automatically light a route in response to a switch or sensing movement
Lighting Control Systems - For Security
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 replicatethe exact lighting pattern of the previous two weeks if you go away - far more realistic than using a plug-in timer switch or simple dusk to dawn sensor.
Lighting can even be integrated with the home's security functions so that all of the house lights come on if the burglar alarm is triggered. This is often enough to deter a possible intruder.
Saving Energy
Finally, as well as improving the quality of your life, a carefully designed lighting system that dims lights selectively burns less electricity, making your home more environmentally friendly and less costly to run.The control system knows you are there and it can turn lights on to enable easy no-switches passage through your house if you so desire, turning lights on as you enter a room and turning them off when you leave.
Automated Lighting Systems and Limited Mobility
People with disabilities or who are not as able to get around can find lighting control a boon, being able to control lighting throughout the home without having to leave their armchair. With the lighting system being tied into other systems, such as door entry or timers, someone with limited mobility is able to take control over their home.Find out how we can help with the design of lighting in your home by calling 023 8099 0029.
