Imagine having dynamic control over your lighting so that, at the touch of a button or with a single voice command, you can have them dim, brighten, change colour – all based on whether you’re cooking, getting ready for bed or having a summer party outdoors. Your smart home can integrate this level, and more, of control, without adding any complexity in use – you just need to plan ahead.
Lighting design
“Some self builders will hire a specific lighting designer, whereas others will read up on the principles and work with us to create a scheme that suits them,” says Darren Palmer from Baulogic. Whether you take this route or rely on your architect’s input, it’s important to speak to your smart home specialist early so you can maximise the setup’s potential and get best value for your budget.
