The impacts of lighting

The lighting in your home - Living Room, Game Room, Bedroom, Study or Kitchen provides the backdrop for the activity in that space. Installing a fixed amount of lighting in a room, assumes that all you need is adequate lighting for the activities in that room. But in every room, you do different things at different times. Yes, cooking is always done in the kitchen. But sometimes you do it alone and sometimes together with the kids or grandkids. And maybe you enjoy a coffee and a quiet chat with a friend there. When you throw a big party, your friends gravitate to the kitchen. Rooms serve different purposes at different times and you want the lighting to add to the atmosphere of any occasion.


Lighting suited to the activity and time of day
Varying the quality of the light has a powerful impact on the ambiance of a space and can change the mood. Think of the flood lights that detectives in the movies use on the suspects or the candlelight of a romantic scene. Lighting should be commensurate with the nature of the activity. It should add drama to the artworks displayed on the walls and make your garden at night even more stunning than it is by day.

Security lighting
Your automated lighting system will also make your home safer. Whenever motion is detected around the perimeter of your house, flood lights will automatically be turned on and a buzzer activated to warn you and to frighten an intruder. And in the same instant, a video recorder can be activated. It can also provide safety and security in the event of a fire or other disaster. Lights can automatically go on to illuminate passages to staircases and exits.
