Controlled lighting

We believe the importance of good lighting at home - or work - cannot be underestimated.


It can transform and enhance any room. With a controlled lighting solution you can make any space more practical and comfortable and have the right type of light for each room, or space, function.


A properly designed and installed controlled lighting system is key to a comfortable, practical, safe and energy efficient home.

 

5 Thoughts about lighting.

  • With a controlled lighting system you can simply recall scenes of light that will change your room, or space, to suit the task, mood or time of day.

    No more twiddling of dimmer switches so you can see what you are cooking or being blinded by light in the bathroom in the middle of the night.

    Having the correct lighting and levels will enhance any living space, making it more comfortable and functional, and with a lighting control system we make this operation simple, not fiddly, to achieve.

  • The best lighting schemes that we have been involved with are where thought has been applied to getting the right light type for each room area. Choosing the the right light output, focus, angle, temperature, colour and fixture will often result in getting the best light with less fittings.

    We can assist with helping you choose the lighting fixtures and fittings yourself or we can introduce you to a lighting designer who will help you get the very best light for your space.

  • However complex a lighting design is, it should always be simple and intuitive for everybody to use.

    When designing lighting control systems we always make sure that every room has a clear on/off function and all of the room lighting scenes are easy to recall. We try to encourage all of our clients to have their lighting keypad buttons custom engraved - all of the lighting control systems keypads that we install have this feature available.

  • Not all dimming is the same , just because a light fitting says it is dimmable does not mean that it will dim from 0-100% and will do so in a linear way.

    There are a few different types of dimming:

    • Phase(Mains),

    • 0-10v, 1-10v,

    • DALI

    • DMX

    Choosing the best dimming type will depend on the type of light fitting you chose and the quality/level of dimming you require, with DALI and DMX type control you are also able to adjust the light colour and temperature as well as the dimming level which can make spaces even more special.

  • Lighting the garden is both a great way of showcasing your garden and enhancing any rooms, or spaces, with views of the outside. Garden lighting also adds to home security by being able to deter uninvited visitors.

    Using the lighting control system’s astronomical clock we are able to activate the garden lights to come on at dusk all year round and turn off after bedtime, and linking the lighting control system to the house security system enables us to turn on the garden lights in the event of any zone intrusion.
