What Are Automated Lighting Control Systems?

You’re likely familiar with lighting timers, as many of us have used them for holiday lights and porch lights, turning on automatically at dusk and off at sunrise. Now, take that concept, but spread it throughout the entire property, plus add in devices besides lights, like shades and security alarms. A lighting control system manages all of those devices and more.

Integrating smart home control with your lighting is essential if you want your property to look great inside and out. You can control brightness, color temperature, and color-changing capabilities through a simple smartphone app, Josh.ai voice commands, or a dedicated touchscreen or keypad control. Whether it’s due to the time of day, a special occasion, or a functional need like cooking, adjusting the lights and other features within your home is a quick and simple process.

Elite Media Solutions works with premium control systems like Lutron HomeWorks and Control4 that support an extensive range of devices, including dimmers, switches, keypads, and motorized shades; security systems, audiovisual setups, and other third-party devices work seamlessly together.

Lighting Design Trends

We’re dedicated to providing our clients with best-in-class technology options that not only lead the industry but elevate lifestyles as well! Here are some of the top home lighting design and lighting technology trends we’ve seen lately:

1. Wireless Control Systems

Sophisticated wireless control platforms simplify installation and enable advanced features like occupancy sensing, daylight harvesting, and energy monitoring. Because it’s wireless, retrofitting spaces is more convenient, so you’ll be able to manage your home’s lighting in no time.

2. Advanced Programming and Customization

Do more than simply turn your lights on or off at certain times. HomeWorks provides advanced programming capabilities for creating intricate lighting scenes and automation routines, bringing together a variety of devices to work in tandem. Each space of your home becomes highly personalized, from the lighting’s brightness to the music selection to how high or low the shades are drawn. You’re in the driver’s seat when it comes to managing the ambiance and functionality of your living spaces.

3. Tunable White Lighting

Advanced LED fixtures allow for color temperature adjustment from warm to cool white, creating the perfect ambiance for different activities or times of day. This tunable white lighting provides versatility and comfort, enhancing your home’s atmosphere whether you’re lounging in the home theater or hosting a dinner party outdoors.

4. Human-Centric Lighting

LED solutions, like those from Ketra, take tunable lighting to the next level by mimicking natural daylight patterns to support human circadian rhythms, automatically adjusting color temperature and intensity throughout the day without a second thought from you. Lighting that enhances well-being and productivity? Yes, please.

5. Fixtures

The trend of producing compact LED luminaires without compromising light output or quality allows for flexible and discreet lighting designs in architectural spaces. Architectural LED fixtures and decorative lighting design combine aesthetics with performance for luxury residential applications.

6. High-Performance Optics

Advanced optical designs improve light distribution and glare control, making lighting functional and comfortable. The latest releases, such as the Ketra D2 and Rania D2 downlights, offer superior performance and sleek design.
