How Smart Lighting can benefit your home


One of the reason we have windows in our homes is to provide light. One of the first steps your architect will have taken would have involved looking at the elevation and positioning of the building to ensure it maximized the benefits of natural light…but what happens when the sun goes down?
Architects and lighting designers have long understood the power of light and its ability to define, highlight, and transform architecture. To manipulate light in such a way as to simultaneously evoke subtlety and complexity requires a serious understanding of light.
With Smart Lighting System dusk doesn’t mean your home has to lose any of the dynamic aesthetics that are provided by natural light. Automated lighting can be described like the rising or setting of the sun.
Smart Lighting Systems create automated changes in lighting levels to affect mood, emphasize architecture, illuminate art, and influence action.



What is Smart Lighting Control?
Smart lighting control is the ability to regulate the level and quality of light in a given place. It is more than turning on and off, shading and dimming. Daylight sensors can automatically adjust shades and overhead lights to maintain the perfect look throughout the day, while occupancy sensors can ensure that lights are never left on when a room is unoccupied.

Convenience

Improve the ambiance of your home for any occasion or mood, while also enjoying greater levels of comfort. At the press of a button your lights will dim, with the convenience of controlling any lighting fixture from a touch screen interface, remote control  or your smart phone from anywhere in the house.
Voice-command and motion sensors systems can control lights as well. Total control over lighting throughout your home to improve security. Automatically set lighting levels based on occupancy, time, or event. Unused lights will turn off when leaving the building and restore automatically upon return.



Energy efficiency 
Current statistics reveal that dimming your light to 90% illumination can save you 10% on energy bills. We can see that lighting energy takes up a lot of energy and even 1 percent of saving on that part will matter a lot in energy efficiency.
To help reduce energy usage and cost by eliminating over-illumination and unnecessary waste, these solutions provide centralized control of all lighting within a home or commercial building, allowing easy implementation of scheduling, occupancy control, daylight harvesting and more.



Control Lights from the Car
Let your lights welcome you home. With a lighting system, you can press a button and your interior/exterior lights turn on as you arrive home. Illuminate a pathway of light from your car and into your home. Ensure lights are turned off when you leave with a single touch of a button.
