O
ur lives are getting smarter. We have smartphones, smart TVs, even smart fridges. And as we become used to this labour-reducing and life-enhancing technology, demand
increases. High-end technology that we’ve seen in films and experienced in top-quality hotels is now filtering into our everyday lives and households. Smart lighting that can be controlled with the flick of a switch or swipe of a button, smart audio that can stream music to any area of the home, inside or out, is becoming increasingly popular in the home.

Don’t get left in the dark The kitchen is the hub of the home. Its purpose has evolved from a meal preparation area to a multi-functional space used for entertaining and relaxing. As the kitchen’s functionality increases, so does its desired size and we’re seeing the rise of the ‘super kitchen’. Other rooms are being combined into this large open plan area, often incorporating the outside space too with bifold or French doors. With such an expanse of space and with varied requirements, it’s
important to be able to switch between uses quickly and easily. Smart lighting is perfect for effortlessly converting the space from one function to another and creating zones for activities.
Setting the scene Typically, rooms feature three types of lighting: task, accent and ambient. Ambient lighting sets the mood, accent lighting highlights key features
Both single and double USB charging ports are now seen as ‘essentials’ in the bedroom and kitchen.
and task lighting helps people to complete desired activities easily. Smart lighting control enables the creation and programming of ‘lighting scenes’ that finds the right balance between these three lighting types to create the desired atmosphere and complete necessary tasks. In fact, ‘task’ undercabinet kitchen lighting is proving a popular trend
at present. Often, ceiling lighting alone can cause shadows but undercabinet LED lighting illuminates the workspace below making it easier to complete precise tasks. With smart lighting control, a specific lighting scheme can make it easier to prepare food and complete knifework. Then, with a flick of a switch, this light can be softened, ambient ceiling lights can be dimmed, and accent lighting increased to transform the space into a relaxed dining area.

With a simple set-up procedure, it allows the user to create, store and recall lighting scenes easily without the need for complicated programming.
