Mood Lighting vs illumination

When most people think of what light sources they'd like to place in their home or place of business they are thinking of illumination of an area only. By considering which light sources to use and your ability to control the brightness and colour of each source, you suddenly enter a world of mood lighting that can dramatically change how the premises looks by day and by night.

Using C-Bus, Dynalite or Vantage home automaton systems, a lighting designer or architect can achieve the exact look for each area with one press of a button. Simple!

Using modern CFL, incandescent and LED lighting a home or place of business can add colour to under-bench-tops, stair treads, garden lighting and features.

Safety and Comfort

Another key area of lighting control is the ability to automatically switch hallway, bathroom, entry or stairway lighting on and off as the need arises. This can be very useful if a member of the household gets up in the middle of the night. As the occupant walks into the hallway, if there are no other lights on in the home, the hallway or stairway lighting fades on at only 20%, thus avoiding shock to the eyes. If movement is continually detected for 5 mins, the lights can gradually fade up to 80% providing better illumination as the eyes adjust to the light level.
