Why Lighting Control?

Luxury homes can have 150 loads of lighting fixtures. Or more. How do you manage all those lights? Do you run around the house turning them all off at night? How many light switches are on a wall plate in your primary areas? Are you getting the most out of your lighting by using layered lighting scenes?

Here are the ways lighting control addresses these issues:

~An all-off button takes the hassle out of retiring for the night, turning off all controlled lighting loads with one button push. You can even have an automated schedule that turns off lights at a preset time. The all-off scene could also be activated by a control system that ties it into the same button that arms your security system, locks the door, and turns off the house music. No more wondering if you left lights on when you left in a hurry. 

~Multiple wall switches are replaced with an elegant, single-gang keypad available in beautiful designer colors with sleek screwless plates.

~The advantage of using multiple sources of light in a room is to combine them for various purposes; highlighting aesthetic features, ambience anhancement, or task support. Lighting keypads have preset buttons for instantly recalling these scenes.

~Using a light at 90% saves about 20% of energy usage yet is barely perceptible to the human eye. Lighting scenes rarely use a light at full illumination. Lighting control saves money while providing beauty and convenience; a win/win situation.

Lighting control has become an important amenity in luxury homes, where the quantity and variety of light fixtures used to create a desirable ambiance has increased dramatically over the years. Whether whole house or only primary areas, if your not looking at lighting control for your new home you're missing out.
