​A lighting control system is a network of devices that manage and control lighting, often automating it for energy efficiency and user comfort. These systems can range from simple on/off switches to sophisticated, integrated systems that use sensors, dimmers, and other devices to optimize lighting based on occupancy, daylight, and time of day. ​​​​​​

​

​Key Components and Features:

​

Switches and Panels:

​Control lighting from various locations, including wall switches,

touchscreens, and centralized control panels.

 

​Sensors:

Occupancy sensors, light sensors (detecting daylight), and motion

sensors automatically adjust lights based on presence or ambient light levels. 

 

​Dimmers:

Allow for adjustable brightness levels, saving energy when full illumination

isn't needed. 

 

​Centralised Control:

Control lighting from various locations, including wall switches, touchscreens, and centralized control panels. 

 

​Scheduling:

Pre-programmed lighting settings can be activated based on time or specific events. 

 

​Remotes Access:

Smartphone apps and other devices can be used to control lighting remotely. 

 

​Energy Savings:

Automated controls, dimming, and occupancy sensors reduce unnecessary lighting, saving energy and money. ​​​
