Working with lighting designer Lucy Martin’s scheme, IDS created the circuits and coded key lighting scenes for use throughout the home, all controllable via Crestron keypads, placed at optimal positions around the house.
Scenes included good morning, good evening, late evening, and entertainment.
Lucy Martin explains, “Good lighting plus good controls are about what you don’t see. A lighting control system’s main aim is to make life easy and make light easy to use. IDS helped facilitate that for our client, and it works seamlessly. The client can walk through the house without thinking about light; it just happens when they need it. We used a standard 2700K colour temperature throughout the property. And through a combination of sensors and timed scenes, the right light is provided at the right time. For example, a pre-dimmed light is triggered upon entry if light levels are low. Here a combination of good light with easy, intuitive controls is conducive to good living and creating an inviting, homely environment – the result is magical.”
