SYSTEMS of LIGHT INTELLECTUAL CONTROL — LUTRON

Since discovery of electricity, artificial light has gradually turned into an inseparable part of usual comfort for us. We will be able neither to read nor write nor even live a usual life without illumination. But it is not easy to create good light conditions in a modern apartment filled with different models of lamps. We have to take into account the season of the year, part of the day, your mood, the kind of work you do, presence of guests. Shall we continue?

In order to avoid constant clicking the switches or changing power of bulbs in a few months and reduce expenses on electric energy considerably, there is intellectual control system of lighting.

Advantages of the intellectual system of house lighting are obvious. We will consider some of them.

For example, you decide to wake up a bit earlier in winter. It is dark outside, and your first action after awakening is to turn the light on. If the switch is close, you press the button and… screw up your eyes. You will need a few minutes to get used to the bright light. And if the switch is on the wall, it will be necessary to find your way to it in complete darkness, and again get struck by light rays on the most sensible nerve terminals. And this is a scary story for adults, and what about your children many of whom are afraid of darkness?

The system of light control set for a specific time will turn the light on, gradually increasing its brightness. Thus, accelerated transition from dusk to light will be imitated in a room as it is optimal for our eyes. It is possible to set minimum lighting in the nursery appearing after first abrupt movements of a waking baby. Intellectual light control system fully changes the usual methods of light streams distribution. Rooms with one three-lamp chandelier hanging in the middle of the ceiling and giving a spot of light are a matter of past now.

10 different types of lamps are used to design modern rooms in order to create different zones. With the old system, exactly the same number of switches must appear on walls, and these are most commonly located near doors. In order to change the lighting mode, it is necessary to walk up to it, find the necessary button and press it. It happens many times a day because you do different work and so lighting requirements change, too. It is very uncomfortable. Lighting control system programs different modes of lighting which are comfortable exactly for you and memorizes them. And then all you have to do is to press one button. For example, you come into the house and push the control button which means the mode of staying in the house. Switch on the set of different lamps which will allow you to change clothes and have dinner comfortably. If you decide to see a video after that, the mode of lighting will change automatically when you switch on your home theatre. If you decide to read a little in your favorite armchair, push the button and the lighting in the house will change again. Lighting control system connects all the sources of your house so you don't have to walk around all the rooms checking them before leaving. Press one button again and the light will be automatically turned off in all rooms.

Intellectual lighting control system may include both street lighting and decorative lanterns on the facade. It will help you create a performance on the New Year's Eve or at any other time, shading all best features of your garden and facade. This system is very comfortable in terms of providing security. A preset scenario will imitate usual life in your absence, turning the light on and off.

Saving money is important, too. Smooth turning on of lamps will increase the term of their service by almost twice, and special tuning will turn on light only if a person is present in the room. So the installation of the intellectual lighting system, being part of the “Smart home”, opens new possibilities to construct systems of architectural and landscape lighting and solves the problem of controlling any amount of light sources; it also provides convenient controlling, low-power mode, automatic on-off, regulation of brightness and increased working resource of lamps.
