Simple Whole-Home Control

We need energy — and lots of it — to light our homes, schools, offices, hospitals, hotels, and restaurants. Lighting, in fact, consists of nearly 25% of the United States electricity budget, which is approximately $37 billion annually. Because it consumes such a large portion of the country’s energy, lighting has emerged as a priority for energy efficiency efforts. Such efforts can reduce carbon emissions and save our environment.

In the average home, most light controls are a simple on/off switch, rather than a dimmer. This means that whether it's the middle of the day or it's nighttime, your fixtures are putting out the exact same amount of light. In fact, light switches are one of the few appliances that only have two settings — on and off. One of the best and simplest ways to save energy is to use dimmers and other devices that manage daylight and electrical light.

An integrated lighting system has many benefits. Lighting control systems add value to your home. The preset scenes and automatic timers can conserve power and save you money, as well as running lights at preset dimming levels.
