Lighting Control
Automated lighting control systems are a modern and elegant way to manage your lights. Similar to motorized shade systems, they are about simplicity, efficiency, and safety. When you are able to control lights from an iPad or an on wall keypad you no longer have to walk downstairs to turn the lights off before bed. You don’t have to worry about leaving them on when you leave the house. Want exterior lights on in the early evening but off late at night? No problem. Lights can be scheduled to turn on and off at any time of day. By adjusting the default brightness you’re able to be energy efficient and save money on electricity bills. You never have to walk into a completely dark house or get up to dim the lights before watching a movie. Elegant scenes can be programmed so with a single button press all the lights in a certain area or even the whole house will adjust to your exact specifications (i.e. entertaining, movie watching, romantic dinners, good night, etc). When you leave out of town you can turn on “vacation mode” so it will appear as if the house is occupied as usual.
The best news? Lighting control systems come in all shapes and sizes for every house. Whether a new build that requires a panelized lighting system for the ultimate in design and elegance or an existing home that wants more control without cutting drywall and completely rewiring, Control4 and Lutron have solutions that will meet every need.
