Save Energy
A lighting control system can add value to your wallet and your lifestyle. By ensuring the lights are off when no one’s home, utilizing dimmers, and adjusting balance in response to natural lighting levels, a homeowner will be surprised to learn the potential for savings on monthly utility bills. In addition, lighting control systems make it possible to keep energy use in check, which benefits the environment and the homeowner.
Improve Health and Wellness
Studies show that the right amount and tone of lighting can affect a person's energy levels and moods, as well as improve sleep. Circadian lighting cycles mimic natural daylight cycles, providing your body with energy during the day and helping you relax at night. Automated lighting control can manage fluctuations in lighting levels and color tones throughout the day to support these wellness benefits.
Improve Vision
Some tasks are easy to complete in a broadly lit room, but other tasks, such as sewing, reading, and working in the kitchen, are easier done with additional layers of lighting, called task lighting. When you want your eyes to work with finite detail, task lighting can help improve your vision and the efficiency of those tasks. Lighting controls can adjust the brightness of task lighting to find the perfect balance for your visual comfort. You can also program lighting scenes for specific activities, so all you have to do is tap one button, and the lights will calibrate to match whatever you’re doing.
Enhance Security and Safety
Automated lighting controls can pair with your home's security system to enhance surveillance video footage and deter criminal activity. Lighting controls can turn lights on and off while you're away to make it appear as if someone is home. Additionally, motion-activated lighting can assist in capturing more detailed surveillance video images. If an alarm sounds at your home, it can trigger your home's lights to flash, making it easier for first responders, firefighters, or police to locate your home when driving down the street.
