What Are Home Lighting Controls?
Home lighting controls are lighting devices that automatically turn lights off when they are not in use or dim lights to reduce glare, improve ambiance, or save energy. Our team can discuss your needs and determine which types of lighting controls will work best for your home lighting control station. The most common types of lighting controls are:
- Dimmers – Light dimmer installation improves the versatility and customization of your home's lighting design. Dimmers can be operated manually via timers, sensors, or smart home integration. Dimming bulbs reduces their wattage and output, which can save energy, extend the lifespan of bulbs and lighting fixtures, improve ambiance, reduce glare, and save money. Dimmable lights can also alleviate certain health issues, like migraines and photophobia.
- Motion Sensors – Motion sensors can automatically turn lights on when they detect motion in a room. They can be programmed to turn off again if there is no further movement for a set time.
- Room Occupancy Sensors – Like motion sensors, room occupancy sensors turn on when they detect indoor activity in a designated area. They switch on automatically when someone enters a room and save energy by turning lights off when a space isn't occupied.
- Photosensors – Photosensors can prevent lights from turning on when it is light outside. This saves energy and can act as a security system for outdoor lighting.
- Timers – Lighting timer installation gives you full control over when and where lights turn on and off. You can even control lights when you aren't at home or are on vacation. Manual timers plug into an electrical outlet to control one specific appliance. Programmable digital timers allow you to customize schedules to automate interior or exterior lighting. Smart timers can integrate with your home's smart functions, so you can control your lights using an app, remote, or voice operation.
