Since the dawn of time both fire and then candlelight have been used by man to set and enhance their domestic scene. Romance blossomed in the caves just as it does in a Nottinghill brasserie today. Whilst the food has probably improved, the basic lighting principles remain unchanged. Fit the best system that the budget can afford to supply task, ambient and accent lighting on demand. Today’s technology provides for electronic methods rather than sticks and tallow, but the motivation is the same. Nothing can alter our mood as effectively or swiftly as a change in the lighting. Whether it is the anticipatory excitement of lowering the lights to blow out our birthday candles, or experiencing full blown irritation and the surly waiter raising the lights in a restaurant to signal his desire to bring you the bill, a change in the lighting scene can bring about an immediate effect. Ask Sean Connery, even James Bond would struggle in 1000 lux!
But scene setting has its uses beyond the romantic and seductive. Pressure on living space has ensured that our homes are required to be multifunctional. A single living area can perform many roles – Dining Space, Home office, Entertainment, Food Preparation and somewhere for children to do their homework.
Scene set dimming is more of a necessity now than ever before. In the past a designer has been able to ‘get away’ with using rotaries. A sophisticated client simply won’t put up with this any more. You can’t easily ‘two way’ a rotary – what good is that in a bedroom or entertainment space? What about the aesthetics? Six lighting circuits in a drawing room means six rotaries on the wall, not a pretty sight.
Scene setting and programming can be done either by laptop or from the control plate itself,
Remote Access allows for off-site programming and monitoring of the system. It can also offer astronomic time clock functionality, daylight linking along with PIR interaction and touch screen control.
Leax can also interface with home management systems and provide control of the Audio system using the simple and intuitive interface on our wall plates.
Leax welcomes the Partnership with Pixel Projects and the opportunity to be involved in the system design and specification at an early stage. The combined resources of Leax and
Pixel Projects together providing unique solutions ensuring Leax and Pixel Projects stay leading the field in innovative lighting control systems and integration.
