Lighting is no longer just about flicking a switch when entering a room.

Modern smart lighting can transform your home by improving security, reducing energy waste, and providing hands-free comfort tailored to your daily routines.

Through the use of an integrated smart home hub controller, every light bulb, sensor, and switch can work together seamlessly.

This gives you the power and control of a network that adapts dynamically to your routines throughout the day, whether you are at home or away on holiday.

The Ultimate Deterrent: Presence Simulation

A dark, quiet house is an open invitation to intruders. Traditional plugin light timers are predictable and easily spotted by experienced burglars.

Smart lighting solves this by making a vacant property look completely occupied from the outside.

1. Randomised routines

   Randomised routines can switch lights on and off from one room to the next make the light coming through blinds and gaps in your curtains simulate occupancy with a great deal of realism.

   

   These random routines work particularly well when you're away on holiday. You can set 'Away Scenes' to mimic the normal usage of your lights while at home, turning them on and off across the kitchen, lounge, and bedrooms, creating an authentic, unpredictable pattern that mirrors a real family's activities as they move around the house.

   Automatic routines don't just work for families away on holiday, they also work for vulnerable people living alone or with mobility challenges who want to make their property look like there are more people living there than there actually are.

2. Integrating lights and blinds

   When smart lights are paired with motorized smart blinds, they create an incredibly convincing illusion of life inside the home.

   As dusk falls, schedules automatically close the blinds and simultaneously switch on realistic, warm lighting across different rooms, replicating your natural evening routine.

3. Dynamic Sunset Tracking

   Forget manually adjusting timers as the seasons change, smart home hub controllers track your local dusk and sunset times automatically.

   Your lights and blinds will adapt their activation times day by day throughout the year, ensuring the home is never left looking dark, vacant and vulnerable.

4. TV Simulators

   

   One of the most effective security tricks is simulated television lighting.

   Specialized multi-coloured LED light units emit a brightness-shifting, flickering glow that can be seen against your blinds or reflected above the gaps in your curtains.

   The flickering lights are recorded from actual TV programmes, making them look completely realistic.

   From the street, the glow of the light looks indistinguishable from a real television being watched by someone sitting in the room, forcing any opportunistic thieves to quickly move on.

Midnight Bathroom Trips

Waking up in the night and turning on a harsh overhead light can give an uncomfortably shock to sleepy eyes and disrupt sleep cycles.

Skirting board lights sense motion and gently illuminate paths across hallways and landings and stairs using low, warm, low-power LED bulbs that guide you to the bathroom without waking the rest of the household.

These lights also have a safety application, shepherding young children or elderly relatives safely across the house in the body's time of sleepiest incoordination and vulnerability.

Kitchen and Utility Cupboards

Tiny contact sensors can be fitted directly to deep pantry or utility cupboard doors.

The moment the door is pulled open, the interior area lights up instantly, turning off automatically the second the door is shut.

Automated Children's Bedtimes

Bedtime routines can be fully automated to help little ones settle. A child's night light can be programmed to gently fade out over 30 minutes after they fall asleep.

Conversely, if they wake up and step out of bed in the morning, the hallway lights can illuminate softly to welcome them safely.
