It is often said that creating a Smart home needs to start at the design stage, to ensure that the switches and wiring is positioned correctly from the start this puts a lot of people off. At Elkay our philosophy is more straightforward and revolves around just changing your light switches.
The first product that can be used in the home in this way is Customlight which is a unique and innovative fully programmable lighting control. It can easily be incorporated into existing lighting system – opening up a wide variety of new and stylish lighting options for the home.
The aim of Customlight is to give you full, unrivalled control of your lighting. This is achieved by key features, such as multiple dimmer and a dusk/dawn settings allowing the light to diminish or increase over a personal pre-set time period. All through a clever LCD control panel.
These setting have been seen to have significant benefits for those people who suffer with sleep deprivation or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). The system was voted winner of the ‘Best Natural Health Product’ for 2006. This is because the lighting can be pre-set to meet even the most specific of needs.
As well as personal health benefits and pleasing aesthetic features, Customlight also offers personal security control. The system uses cutting edge technology to allow the user to pre-set the lighting, for up to five separate on/off periods, giving the home the illusion of occupancy and therefore security.
Another feature that is often used by families is the child night light. This system ensures that a low level lighting option is available, during the night, for those parents with children who require some comfort light, or alternatively will dim the lights to off over a set period of time, so allowing the child to fall asleep naturally.
Customlight forms part of Elkay’s range of switches and controls, which offers stylish and clever solutions for the home, and at the same time aid in reducing energy bills.
Other products within this range include wall and ceiling mounted PIR’s (Passive Infa Red) sensors these detect movement within a room ideal for halls, landings, utility rooms where light are often left on for long periods without being used.
