There are no end of lighting control
systems on the market, however British made Rako have one great advantage. They can be
added with major upheaval of your home.
Most control systems rely on having a central processor unit (perhaps under your stairs) that all the connections go to. This is fine if your building from scratch, but in an existing home it's next to impossible without major work to your home. Also once installed, these systems offer little in the way of upgrade without running more cables back to the controller.
With Rako, their excellent design is in their ability to be added in line of your lights at any time, just by gaining access to the mains point that supplies it. And don't think that they stop at controlling just your lights. Curtains, garage doors, pools, etc. can all be controlled by this ingenious system.
Setting your lights by four different mood setting can enhance your rooms and create a better living environment for you. Your first setting maybe some lights on bright so you can read whilst keeping your main central lights on dim. Your second setting maybe for movie watching, with you lights dimmed to an ambient level.
Rako even makes a unit that captures what you do for a week, so that when you go away on holiday it can replicate these light movements and give the illusion of people at home to anyone watching who shouldn't be.
Rako is affordable and easily fitted in most case, why not pop in and see how we can enlighten your house.
