10 Benefits of Lighting Control!

A room’s lighting is one of the first things you notice when you enter the space.  Too much lighting can be uncomfortable. Not enough lighting can put a strain on the eyes.    Lighting Control Systems are designed to provide the right amount of light where and when it is needed.  Properly lighting your home or business not only enhances the user experience, but increases safety and saves energy.  One of the major advantages of a Lighting Control System over stand-alone lighting controls or conventional manual switching is the ability to control individual lights or groups of lights from a single user interface device.  This ability to control multiple light sources from a user device allows custom lighting scenes to be created for different activities in that room.

why-occupancy-monitoring-could-be-the-missing-element-to-hotel-security_ee743324cd0e0f9b0774f2a73841edc7

Occupancy monitoring is quickly rising in popularity among Maui, HI, hoteliers, representing the missing piece of the hotel security puzzle. Occupancy sensors can monitor when your rooms are empty and automatically switch off all the lighting and A/V equipment, adjust HVAC, and more in unoccupied rooms.

If every person who occupies your hotel remembers to turn everything off as they leave their rooms, then you probably don’t need occupancy monitoring. But as we all know, that almost never happens. That’s where occupancy monitoring comes in. Here’s why your hotel or motel needs it and how it can save you time and money.
