Despite our best intentions, we all waste electricity by leaving the lights on. In fact, lighting
accounts for 20% of all electricity consumed in the U.S., and 50% of that is wasted with
inefficient light sources or in unoccupied rooms.
The good news is that we can automate your lights so they come on when you need
them and go off when you don’t. Outdoor lighting can be controlled through motion
sensors only to come on when you need them, or programmed to come on at sunset
for the safety and security of your home and family. Indoor lighting can use sensors to
automatically turn off when no one is in the room.
Dimmers are another great way to save energy. Dimming your lights by 25% (hardly
noticeable to the human eye), reduces electricity consumption by 20% and quadruples
the life of your bulbs. Ambient light sensors allow Control4 to automatically adjust the
lighting levels on your dimmer so you never use more light than you need, but
always have enough.
