Lighting Controls
Types of Lighting Controls
Manual lighting controls are the most common type of lighting control and involve manually adjusting switches and dimmers to regulate the amount of light in a space. Manual lighting controls can be used to adjust the brightness and color of light, as well as to turn lights on and off.
Automated lighting controls use sensors, electronic devices, and software to control the amount of light in a space. Automated lighting controls are often used in commercial and industrial settings, as they are able to respond to changes in the environment such as occupancy, daylight levels and time of day.
Smart lighting controls are a type of automated lighting control that can be programmed and controlled remotely via a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Smart lighting controls are popular in residential homes and for commercial use, as they allow for control of the amount of light in their building from anywhere in the world.

Uses of Lighting Controls
- Home Use. Lighting controls can be used to help create an ambiance that is comfortable, inviting, and conducive to relaxation. With the use of dimmers, motion sensors, and timers, homeowners can customize the lighting in each room to suit their individual preferences.
- Commercial Use. Lighting controls are used to provide the appropriate level of illumination for different tasks. They can be used to ensure that staff can work comfortably and safely, while also helping to reduce energy consumption.
- Industrial Use. Lighting controls are used to help improve safety and visibility. For example, motion sensors can be used to turn lights on and off when a certain level of illumination is required. Similarly, timers can be used to ensure that lights are only on for a specified amount of time.
- Outdoor Use. Motion sensors can be used to provide lighting for pathways and walkways, while timers can be used to ensure that lights are only on when necessary.
The Different Effects of Lighting Controls
Lighting controls can also be used to create a variety of different lighting effects. For example, dimmers can be used to create a warm, inviting atmosphere, while motion sensors can be used to turn lights on and off in response to movement. Lighting controls can also be used to enhance security, as they can be programmed to turn lights on and off at certain times of the day or when motion is detected. And, when used outdoors, lighting controls can craft a beautiful ambiance that is soothing and relaxing. Contact a lighting specialist to learn more today.
