Lighting design is an important and often overlooked aspect of home automation and is probably the feature you use most in your home. You may or may not use the multi-room audio daily but you will definitely use your lights every single day. You need your lights to navigate through your home at night, to answer a child’s cry, or to stumble to the bathroom. These are problems that are easily solved through a home lighting design. Lights are not simply functional; they can be expressive as well. Lighting design can set a mood for every type of room in your home for any particular occasion.
Lighting design increases your enjoyment with your home. Lights are a very powerful element in creating moods. Ever notice how dining out at that chic café is so much more enjoyable as opposed to your own kitchen table? The answer lies within the lighting design. Lights create anything from a warm comfortable atmosphere while dining with guests to softly lit pathways to the bathroom for the children at night.
Lighting design not only increases your satisfaction with your home, it also adds security, value, and energy savings. With HAI Lighting Control (HLC) you can experience all of the benefits of a sophisticated lighting control system that is affordable and easy to install. The HLC product line includes dimmers, switches, remote controls, and plug-in modules. Lighting design can become part of your security system several ways; when a motion detector is tripped the outdoor flood lights can flash on or if the smoke detectors are set off your lighting control can make your front porch lights blink on and off to signal distress.
Lighting design is multifunctional in that it creates moods, is a key element in safety, makes your home more valuable, and can put money back in your pocket. But all of these attributes mean nothing if creating your own lighting concept is not easily accomplished. Let’s face it: navigating your home at night can be dangerous. Feeling blindly along the wall for the nearest light switch is the last thing any sleepy homeowner wants. On the other hand, home owners do not want to have to walk around the entire house to turn off lights or accidently leave them on overnight, wasting energy.
Remote control lighting is the answer. This gives you the ability to turn on or off a hallway light or an outside light or the rec room light from the touchscreen in your bedroom. Your lighting design will ensure that no lights will ever have to be left on overnight.
As you have seen, lighting control can enhance the enjoyment and value of your home, add security for peace of mind, and decrease costs on your energy bill. You can experience all of the benefits of a sophisticated lighting control system easily and affordably. Homeowners can have sophisticated lighting control in a home theater or living room and add rooms as needs grow. Additionally HLC switches can be tied into an HAI home control system or any UPB compatible automation controller for full-fledged integrated lighting control coordinated with other events, such as time, motion, security modes, etc.
All HLC products are extremely easy to install – no modifications to the home are required. These plug and play products are an easy way to add a touch of class to any home.
I agree with you people 100%. Just like any component of interior design like color, good lightning systems have a big influence on the overall mood and theme of your space.
