Why Rako Lighting Control

With millions of different light fixtures to choose from, and 1000’s of different types and applications to apply lighting to you home controlling your lighting could soon become complicated. With dozens of switches, with multiple switches within one room and sometimes in one place, do you find yourself fed up of operating every switch in the room and manually dimming each light!!!

One Button Operation

Imagine, you walk into your kitchen, press one button with a pre-set scene that operates the island lights, dims your spotlights to 60%, switches the shelf lights on along with your pelmet lights while automatically playing your favourite play list on your kitchen speakers. In a world where time is so precious, this is a prime example of how Rako lighting can help make your life easier.

How Rako Lighting increases your home Security

A lot of people don’t realise, but Rako lighting can increase the safety and security of your home. Rako Lighting systems are always learning the way you use your home, when you use which lights, in which rooms, then when you’re away from home Rako will operate the lights to replicate that you are home. If your home has an automation system you can even link Rako Lighting to the intruder alarm, so if triggered it will send a commando to the lights to turn on to warn off any intruders immediately.

Automatic Lighting Control

Using smart Geo Fencing technology, Rako can detect when you are on your way home using your mobile phone and active lights before your arrival. This could be your driveway lighting to welcome you home, and so you can park safely, or pre-set ambient lighting within your home so you never have to walk into a dark room. Pre-set timers can also be used to switch on and off lights as required automatically, such as outside lights.

Bespoke Lighting Design

We offer a bespoke lighting design service to ensure that your home or office’s lighting is not only designed to deliver exactly what you require, but is installed correctly and to all the relevant safety standards. Our specialist lighting design engineers take the time to understand your requirements and make suggestions and recommendations before designing the full layout.

Hello/Goodbye

One of our clients favourite pre-set scenes is the Hello/Goodbye buttons placed conveniently near their front door. These buttons do exact what they have engraved on them, with the Goodbye button turning all of the lights in the house off saving your time checking every room when you’re in a rush to leave. The Hello button on the other hand does the opposite and turns on all of your pre-set “ambience” lighting so you never have to walk into a dark room again.

Saving you Money!

Did you know that the human eye cannot tell the difference between when a light is set to 100% illumination and 80%. Well with Rako we can pre-set all of your lights so the maximum you can set them to is 80%, this then saves you 20% on your energy costs. That’s right Rako dimming will save you money on every light you dim. So every scene set in the house where the lights are pre-set dim will save you money. House holds with rotary dimmers dim their lights 72% less often than those using a lighting control system.
