Application For The Home
Rako lighting systems make the Smart Home dream a reality but can equally be applied to other applications.
Office, meeting and conference facilities take on a more professional image with moods for presentations and meetings. The atmosphere in bars and restaurants can be subtly changed, enhancing the customer experience with smooth fading, reducing the impact and intrusion of cumbersome switching.
Scene changes can be easily selected by staff or automatically from repeatable timed events. Hotel rooms have added sophistication, giving guests a little extra luxury whilst dining and public areas benefit from a more relaxing feel with scenes becoming more intimate as the evening progresses.
Mood lighting systems offer the user the ability to recall a scene, or mood of lighting, at the touch of a single button despite controlling multiple circuits and lamp types. Circuits are split to define zones and highlight room features and are programmed to suit the different uses of a space. Scene changes incorporate fade times giving subtle lighting transitions.
Advanced technologies allow control of all light fittings, including the dimming of LEDs, fluorescent lighting and low voltage fittings, saving energy and increasing lamp life as lamps are dimmed.
Push button systems allow two, or multi-way control and can be controlled from hand-held remotes as well as the new generation of smartphones. Digital communication means system integration is easily achievable, linking lighting to audio-visual, security and home/ building controllers, including control of curtains, blinds and screens.
Advanced programming features allow ‘Master Off‘ control from any keypad or maybe a button to create a ‘Welcome Home’ scene. The addition of a TCM time-clock module provides ‘Holiday Mode’ security, timed events and astro dawn/ dusk programming. The TCM also allows sequenced events and macro commands.
Rako offers a number of installation options including wireless control for ease of installation and retro-fit applications. More complex projects may suit the wired network with centralised RAK units, or possibly combined systems giving a mix of both.
The ability to offer wireless, wired or combined options means Rako can provide the best possible approach for any project and gives the safety net should cables be forgotten or extra wall-plates be needed after walls are sealed.
