The home of the future is here! If you’re a home builder
you no doubt are already dealing with a bewildering
array of new technology requests from clients, ranging
from fiber optic wiring to new heating and cooling systems.
Technology is also rapidly remaking the way we light
our homes. New
lighting controls and touch pad control
technology have expanded the usability and functionality
of home
lighting far beyond what was previously
imaginable.
One new technology you’ll see soon, if you haven’t
already, is touch pad lighting controls. Beginning to
be used extensively throughout the home, these wall
touch pads feature pre-programmed lighting scenes and
a dimming override. They can be installed for all decorative
ceiling lighting, recessed
lighting and cove lighting, as well as
for all ceiling
fans and fire places. In a home theatre setting,
for example, touch pad controls can be integrated into
the movie and sound systems as well as overhead track
lighting.
One effect of all this new technology is an unprecedented
ability to customize settings and effects for each
customer. For example, touch pads in bedroom areas
can be installed as under-floor units. As the client
steps out of bed in the darkness a pre-programmed
sequence switches on pathway lighting to guide them
to the bath and hall.
All smart controls utilize leading-edge technology
can be tied to a central computer in the home. This
computer can be adjusted or be re-programmed via the
Internet by support staff per a client’s request.
As can be seen, the future is here today in home lighting,
and can be made as unique as each home’s owners.
