How Many Types of Light Controller Do You Know

The choices you have for controlling the lights in your home run the gamut from simple to sophisticated.

Dimmers

The ability to dim the lights offers several opportunities, from being able to quickly alter the mood and feel of a room to the ability to extend the life of incandescent lamps. Dimming mechanisms vary from a small sliding tab on the side of a light switch to a rotating knob all the way to a touch-activated control. It's the most common light controller in the home lighting. It helps you to make the lighting darker or brighter.

Occupancy Sensors & Photocells

Occupancy sensors turn on the lights when someone walks into a room and automatically shut them off once they leave. They do this through several different technologies and levels of sensitivity. Photocells work well for outdoor lighting and operate based on the amount of daylight present. Both types of controls are effective energy savers.

Programmable Scene Controllers

Rooms with several types of lighting on different circuits can be pre-programmed with different lighting "themes". Called scene controllers, these devices allow you to program different settings with varied lighting and dimming schemes that turn on and off at the push of a button. Just like the lighting system in the KTVs. It can offer you different lighting effects.

Whole-House Lighting Control

You have the option of controlling all or a portion of the lights in your home from one location. Being able to turn off all the lights at bedtime with one push of a button is ultra-convenient. These controls are available for existing homes as well as new construction. Hotel lighting systems use it most frequently. It helps you to have a comfortable home life, as convenient as living in the hotel room.
