TRANSFORMING SPACES WITH LIGHTING SOLUTIONS
Exceptional lighting can transform any space, bringing it to life and captivating the senses. Thoughtful lighting design paired with automation can set the mood and enrich the overall experience of any space.
The impact of lighting on a space cannot be overstated. Whether it’s a restaurant, cozy living room, an elegant dining area, or a professional conference room, the right lighting can make all the difference. It can highlight architectural features, create focal points, and enhance the overall ambiance. With the right automation technology, these effects can be achieved effortlessly and consistently.
Essential Elements of Lighting Solutions
Lighting solutions need to provide the options that can work together like a symphony to enable the desired mood within a given space. Some of the essential capabilities that are needed within the deployed solution must be:
Dimming
The ability to dim lighting provides infinite opportunities to creatively craft the moods that are desired in a space. It becomes an indispensable canvas that can be used artistically both to address the various times of the day as well as to accentuate specific spaces or moods for situations which would benefit from it. LED lighting makes use of various types of drivers to achieve the desired level of dimming of each lighting fixture from the lowest to the highest. Different types of dimming such as Phase Cut or Zero-to-ten can be used based on the wiring limitations presented by the physical spaces.
Tunability
The capability of LED lighting to display various colour temperatures allows tunable lights to mimic the natural light that one observes over the various periods of the day. This lighting can vary from dim yellowish to daylight white. All this variety is achievable, as needed by users, in the same fixture by using smart LED drivers.
Colour Change
Some moods demand a variety of colours to be enabled in lighting. LED strips can accommodate these colour changes, again using drivers to create the type of ambience that is needed.
The Role of Automation
Lighting automation takes the benefits of thoughtful lighting design to the next level. By automating lighting systems, you can pre-program the desired type of lighting ambience that is needed. This happens through capabilities called Profiles and Schedules.
Profiles
This allows users to define a combination of various types of lights at various types of dimming, tunability and colour to be triggered from a single click on a physical button or an app. This provides the ultimate convenience of creating the desired lighting and the accompaniment of other elements (e.g. curtains, blinds, AC) to generate the desired.
Schedules
Either profiles or individual lighting may need to change based on either timing of the day or even time of the year. Schedules provide an automated way to ensure that the correct lighting profile is turned on or off at the desired time of the day and then switched to some other profile at another time, all without user intervention.
Incorporating exceptional lighting with advanced automation technologies can truly transform any space. BuildTrack offers a range of lighting automation solutions to maximize the potential of your lighting setup and deliver the best combination of ambience, energy efficiency and convenience.
