Time to break up the stigma surrounding lighting control systems.  

Yes, lighting control is great for managing lighting scenes in a large room with more than five lighting loads.

Yes, lighting control is great for turning lights off in the whole house when you arm the security system, or to turn lights on so you never drive up to a dark house, or to create entertainment ambience, or to light up the house if there's a security breech.

There's also an energy savings boost using lighting controls.  Lighting contributes to as much as 15% of your annual energy savings.  Turning your lights to 90% intensity is hardly noticed, but saves you 10% of that energy cost while doubling the life of your bulbs.   An intelligent system can account for daylight and occupancy, saving further.

The easiest way to accomplish this is to start with the Crestron® Prodigy system, but other options exist.  Call us or stop by the Smart Home Pro showroom!
