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.
