What is Lighting Controls Automation?
Light-Tech Inc. is proud to be a factory authorized dealer, installer, and Service representative for the Homeworks Interactive system as well as RadioRa manufactured by Lutron and the system by Vantage Controls. Lighting Automation gives you the ability to intelligently and conveniently control all aspects of lighting in your home or business. Lighting Controls systems can perform tasks as simple as turning on or off a group of lights with a push of a button, or integrating your lighting controls with Audio/Video, timers, shades, touch screen panels, climate controls, vacation modes, etc for total home automation. Light-Tech Inc has the certification and expertise to install and program a variety of different systems to fit your needs and budget.
Convenience and security:
Imagine starting your morning by pushing a single button by your bedside to slowly fade your bedroom and bathroom lights on, raise the shades in your home, and turn on your TV to your favorite channel. When you return home in the evening you'll see that your landscape lights have automatically came on, and a pathway from your garage to your living room is already lit. While at your home, create the perfect mood for parties, working, watching TV, or simply relaxing by the push of a button or even automatically. Push a single button before you go to bed instead of checking every room and turning on night lights. Your imagination is the only limit to what can be controlled by our lighting systems.
Elegance and Beauty - Which would you rather have on your walls?
Replace rows and rows of ugly switches and dimmers on your walls with a single, elegant, and smart computer controlled keypad. The function of each key is engraved onto the button so anybody can use them as easily as they can traditional switches. Unlike Traditional switches, these keys can not only control one light but the lights for your entire home.
No matter which system you choose, there are countless choices of colors, metal finishes, and key styles to fit your decor. In addition, any room can be controlled by a remote control provided by us or the lighting can be integrated with your existing audio/video equipment for true whole home automation.
Installation Options - Retrofit/New Construction :
There are many retrofit options available however we recommend that in order to enjoy all features that total home automation offers in the most cost effective way, the best time to install a system is during the construction or remodeling stage of your home. At that time, your centralized processor lighting system can be hard wired and fully integrated with all of your audio/video, communications, pool, lawn-care, and security systems. upon moving in, the only thing you will see on your walls are elegant keypads or touch screens which can be programmed to control your entire home.
As mentioned earlier, if your home was not pre-wired for automation, or you currently have another system with which you are not happy with or simply want to upgrade, you still have many options to automate your lighting or your entire home with very few if any limitations. We have several wireless system choices for you which will use RF signals in place of the hard wiring to communicate with the processor. We simply install a wireless processor like the one pictured above inside your home, replace your existing dimmers and switches with our radio controlled dimmers and keypads, and program the keypads with different lighting scenes, transforming your home into a modern marvel.
The Light-Tech Inc. Difference
By law, only a licensed electrical contractor may install the high-voltage wiring for any electrical system. Most electrical contractors do not know the first thing about lighting controls systems and simply do what the Audio/Video company has instructed them to do(or worst, performing the work themselves). The problem is that Audio/Video companies are not electricians and do not have the right qualifications to understand the electrical needs of the very specialized lighting, load calculations, ballasts, and transformers which are used in today's sophisticated homes.
In contrast, Light-Tech Inc's installers and service technicians are state licensed electricians and are not only experts in the low voltage wiring and programming of home lighting automation systems, but also the high voltage wiring that only an electrician should service. In addition, we have chosen the products we endorse very carefully and you can be assured that they will do every task that we claim they can perform.
There are many inferior products in the market today which fall short of what they promise or are incompatible with your home's wiring. Our products work. Visit our factory affiliations page for more details about our home automation products. If you already have a company performing your audio/video work, we will be more than happy to work with them in order to integrate your home's audio, video, and security with the lighting system to give you a truly automated home.
