Lighting Scenes to Try 

One of the most exciting features of a lighting control system is the ability to create lighting scenes. Lighting scenes allow you to set the perfect ambiance for any occasion or mood, activated with a single tap of a button or command. Try the following ideas:

  • Goodnight: Prepare your home for a restful night's sleep by turning off all the lights with a single button press.
