Imagine waking up, its 5:30am and still dark. With the push of a button you light a path to a softly lit bathroom that brightens several seconds after you enter. As the sun rises you look outside and notice the landscape lighting turning off automatically. As you enter the kitchen you press a button that adjusts the motorized shades to block the glare from the morning sun. As you leave for work you press a button that turns off all the lights and lowers the shades

to block the heat from the daytime sun and keep the home cool. All of this can be accomplished by using a lighting control system. Lighting controls are electrical devices that are used to operate lighting to achieve a desired effect. Lighting controls can operate lighting by turning them on or off, adjusting the the light level to a desired brightness, or operate lighting in a pattern to match your lifestyle.
