Filed Under Decoration Accessories | Posted on September 4, 2007
Lighting controls give you the flexibility to design a lighting plan with multiple uses and decorative effects. With the touch of a button, today’s sophisticated dimming systems enable you to:
- Lower light level to conserve energy and increase bulb life.
- Vary the mood of a room.
- Alter the intensity of the light to suit the activity.
- Create and save a number of different lighting scenes in each room.
Lighting controls should be an integral part of the lighting design of each room.
Types Of Controls
1. Integrated dimming systems allow you to create multiple preset lighting scenes within a room. Scenes can be recalled with the touch of a button from a single wall box or with hand held wireless remote controls.
2. Touch dimmers allow you to vary the intensity of the lighting while depressing a button. These systems permit one-touch recall of the previous lighting level. Some are equipped with indicator lights that provide a continual readout of the lighting intensity.
3. Slide dimmers provide full-range, manual dimming control. Some are equipped with a touch-button that allows you to return to the previous lighting level. Others have an indicator light that glows in the dark for easy location.
4. Rotary dimmers provide full-range, manual dimming control. Some are equipped with a push-button operation that allows you to turn the light on and off and return to the previous lighting level.
