Home Lighting Control 06/24/2009
Chances are that lights, lighting fixtures, and switches are a part of your everyday life, and it is also likely that for the most part you don’t pay much attention to them. We constantly turn them on and off, they can create ambiance, and can provide security among many other things.
Home lighting control solutions are quickly becoming one of the most popular home improvements. One of the main benefits of home lighting control is the potential energy savings. According to the a white paper produced by the Energy Conservation Enhancement Project at Louisiana State University, “20% of all electricity produced in the U.S. is used for lighting, but 50% of that is wasted by inefficient lighting sources or careless consumers.” And, they recommend that home lighting controls should now be part of every family’s home energy plan.
And when your home lighting control system is connected to your other home control systems, you will be able to control everything with one panel. So, you can dim the lights, turn up the music, and set your alarm system without leaving the couch.
