Intelligent Lighting Systems

Intelligent lighting systems make the Smart Home dream a reality but can equally be applied to other applications. Office, meeting and conference facilities take on a more professional image with moods for presentations and meetings. The atmosphere in bars and restaurants can be subtly changed, enhancing the customer experience with smooth fading, reducing the impact of cumbersome switching. Scene changes can be easily selected by staff or automatically from repeatable timed events. Hotel rooms have added sophistication, giving guests a little extra luxury whilst dining and public areas benefit from a more relaxing feel with scenes becoming more intimate the evening progresses.

Mood lighting systems offer the user the ability to recall a scene, or mood of lighting, at the touch of a single button despite controlling multiple circuits and lamp types. Circuits are split to define zones and highlight room features and are programmed to suit the different uses of space. Scene changes incorporate fade times giving subtle lighting transitions.

Advanced technologies allow control of all light fittings, including the dimming of LED's, fluorescent lighting and low voltage fittings, saving energy and increasing lamp life as lamps are dimmed.

Push button systems allow two, or multi-way control and can be controlled from hand-held remotes as well as smartphones and tablets. Digital communication means system integration is easily achievable, linking lighting to audio-visual, security and home/building control systems, including control of blinds, screens and curtains.

Advanced programming features allow "Master Off" control from any keypad or maybe a button to create a "Welcome Home" scene. It is possible to put your home in holiday mode, so when away it appears somebody is home, using timed events and astro dusk/dawn programming.

Intelligent lighting systems are available in a number of installation options including wireless for ease of installation and retro-fit applications. More complex and new-build/refurbishment will be better suited to a wired network with a centralised rack, of possibly a hybrid system.

The ability to offer wireless, wired or combined options, means AJOB Electrical Ltd can provide the best possible approach for any project.
