Path Illumination – When getting up at night to use the bathroom or to get a drink, sometimes it's difficult to see where I’m going or find the doorknob. With the help of a motion detector and a little programming, a hallway light dimmed to 25% illuminates my path. Both the hallway lighting and the bathroom lighting do not blind me (and consequently wake me up) but instead, give me just enough light to maneuver to my destination and back without the need to fumble for light switches or door knobs.
Another popular lighting function is triggering the mud room and the kitchen lights to turn on when the garage door is opened. This is especially handy when arriving home from the grocery store; now there’s no need to fumble for light switches as you attempt to carry things from the garage into your home.
Outdoor lighting - Having the lights actually react to the astronomical clock is very beneficial in that there is no resetting timers or worrying about daylight savings time. Our system allows for the lighting to respond to the sunrise or sunset and adjusts itself.
Security - Clients who opt to have their homes fully automated and integrated can also tie the lighting control system to the security. If the alarm system is triggered at night or while you are away the entire house can be lit up inside. The program can also make the outdoor lights flash, which will make your home more obvious to the approaching police or fire vehicles. You can also have the lights turned on remotely before you arrive with the use of a wireless key fob; simply get in range(approximately 300ft) of the home and press the lighting button to activate your welcome home scene before you arrive. This makes homeowners feel very secure.
