Energy Efficient Lighting

Did you know that lighting can actually account for up to 20% of a homes yearly electricity usage and up to 40% a year commercially?

Adding Lighting control to your home has always been seen as a luxury item, but today’s solutions not only provide comfort and added security but also saves you money and reduces your energy usage by up to 15%.

For the home or office, lighting is a major proportion of energy costs. Lights can be left on when they don’t need to be or operating on a higher or even full intensity when they don’t need to be. This ends up being very wasteful use of energy and ultimately costly. In turn of course this also has an effect and substantial increase contribution to the carbon footprint of homes. Lighting control solutions are not complex but help reduce cost, waste and pollution

Dimming controls come in a number of forms, they work on the basis of reducing the amount of power to be put through to the lighting circuit they are attached too. By reducing this % of load not only does the system provide efficient lighting loads, but provides unique and styled scene sets. A number of additional options are light sensitive systems that detect the presence and intensity of natural daylight and set the dimming level accordingly.

Wired or wireless occupancy sensors are an ideal way to control your lighting in a room automatically, these types of sensors can be be pre-programmed to create event timers to keep lights on while not only someone is in the room but can be told to stay on for a period of time after someone has left the room. With this type of set up in certain areas of the house or office you don’t even need to think about turning lights on and off, they automatically follow you round the building turning off behind you
