The Impact of Smart Lighting in a Home

Added by Brad Baldwin | March 7, 2007

Smart lighting makes that “old” light switch cool again. It also saves you money as you conserve power.

Ed Ryan and Scott Moulton at Control4 talk about how little everyday tasks can become conveniences with Smart Lighting. With Control4 “scenes,” you can wake-up to lights that come up gradually, have shades open to let in the sun, and have favorite wake-up music grow in volume. Keep kid’s from turning on lights in the middle of the day. High-tech switches easily integrate into your walls and support more commands. Plus the same remote you use to turn on your TV can also control your lights. Finally, you can even turn lights on or off with a web browser from a remote location.

Have you ever jumped in bed and then realized that an outside light is on but the switch is all the way downstairs? Or have you ever wanted to wow your friends in your home theater by having the lights dim gradually over a 10 second period? Find out how.
