Dimmers and light scenes

Lighting, light in our homes. What else could be so popular and familiar? Even a beautiful chandelier attracts our eyes only while it is new. And then, the look was used to, and nobody was just noticing it. In fact, the light conceals many more interesting opportunities that will make your life more beautiful and interesting. More precisely, it is not so much the light itself as modern management methods.

For example, an interesting feature like light source brightness control. Firstly, there are physiological reasons for this. Indeed, for different types of human activity, there are different requirements for lighting.

For example, requirements for lighting a student’s workplace. Daylight may be sufficient, but artificial lighting is required at night. But what about at dusk? When there is still not enough natural lighting, but artificial is unnecessary, which is also not very good. In this case, you need a system that tracks the current illumination, and turns on the lighting, but with the desired level of brightness.

To control the lighting, there are brightness controls, or dimmers. You can find dimmers having manual brightness control. But it is much more convenient when dimmers are part of an automated lighting control system.

For example, it is convenient when the lighting in the corridor has two brightness levels. In normal times, it turns on at full brightness, and at night only at half brightness. It is much more pleasant for the eyes. It is convenient to connect bedside sconces to the dimmer, you can always adjust the brightness either for reading, or use the sconce as a night lamp.

Lighting is a powerful tool in the design, and even the formation of the interior. Using the scene tool provides virtually limitless possibilities. With their help, you can not only change the mood or color, but also the feeling of geometric space.

Today, often in important rooms, for example, in the living room, more light sources are used than is necessary for hygiene standards. Naturally, no one includes all these sources at the same time. But different combinations give us different sensations. Such combinations are called light scenes.

And if you do not just turn on various light sources, but also change the brightness of these sources, then in skilled hands you can achieve amazing results. When building a light scene, sources are selected, their brightness is adjusted.

But every time to do such an operation is tiring. Therefore in automated lighting control systems the resulting setting can be remembered. And then activate the light scene by pressing only one key. So you can have light scenes for a reception, a simple dinner, or for an intimate meeting with friends.
