Benefits of a Lighting Control System

November 21, 2019

A lighting control system is a surefire way to save money and enjoy added home security. Once a luxury item, lighting control systems have become increasingly more affordable for homeowners of all income levels. With one system, you can pre-program lighting fixtures throughout your home – or one fixture at a time – to turn on and off at certain times of day, while you’re traveling or entertaining friends, or for any reason at all. Whole-house systems operate from a built-in command center. Here are just some of their capabilities: 



  • Set your system to slowly bring up the lights and music for a gentle start to your day, or have your system turn on your home office lights, computer and coffee machine to get your mornings started with purpose.
  • Imagine pre-programming a light to turn on as you move from garage to mud room or kitchen. It’s a major convenience, especially when your hands are full. It provides enhanced safety, too.
  • A lighting control system can provide an astronomical time clock that always knows when its sunrise and sunset enabling your landscape lights to turn on and off at exactly the right times.
  • Okay, you’ve just sat down to watch a movie and realize you’ve left lights on in other rooms. Now you can stay put and make the necessary adjustments from your Smart Phone or tablet.
  • Changing the lighting in every room at once without running from room to room and adjusting everything individually. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without one!
  • Having an intimate dinner party with friends? Set the mood with dim lights throughout the space for a more relaxed feeling. Improve productivity with task lighting. Or, use the CLEAN UP button to increase light levels to 100% for greater visibility.
  • Here at Bolt Electric, our lighting control systems are fully scalable. So, whether your home is a 1500 square foot ranch or an 8000 square foot Spanish style expanse, there’s the right system for you…installed and customized by Bolt Electric.
