The Magic Touch of Lighting Control and Automation

A major advantage of a lighting control system over conventional lighting is the ability to control any device from any interface.


For example, a master touch panel might allow the user the ability to control all lights in a house or building, not just a single room. Any light might be controlled from any location. Visit our Bend showroom for a complete demonstration.

LIGHTING CONTROL ADVANTAGES

• Safety (Enhance Security) – Turn on pre-selected interior and exterior lights from the safety of your car. Never enter a dark home again.
• Convenience (Simplify Daily Routines) – Touch a button to illuminate a pathway, allowing you to move easily throughout the home.
• Ambiance (Beautify every room) – Set the perfect lighting scene for any occasion or activity – reading, relaxing, dining, or entertaining.
  
  

POPULAR USES FOR LIGHTING CONTROLS

• Morning – Set a gentle lighting scene to start your day.
• Goodnite – Turns off all exterior and interior lights without leaving your bed.
• All On – Repond to unusual noises with this feature.
• Spa – Create a soothing environment for a relaxing bath.
• Nightlight – Welcome late night visitors.
  
  

LIGHTING CONTROLS CAN BE PROGRAMMED FOR:

• Time of Day
• Daylight / Night
• Events

ENERGY SAVINGS

• Dimming bulbs by 30% can save electricity costs by 24%
• If every household in the U.S. installed one lighting control dimmer, we would reduce CO2 emissions equivalent to that from 370,000 cars
• Dimmed bulbs last up to 10 years, reducing landfill waste.
• The more you dim, the more you save.

• High-speed internet
• Digital and/or cable TV in any room
• Home theater surround sound
• Networking of computers, printers, fax and scanners
• Music throughout
• Phone systems
