Improve Security & Save Power With Lighting Controllers
Filed Under Lighting Controllers, Motion Detectors | Leave a Comment
Most landscape lighting systems now use a lighting controller with a timer that shuts your garden lights off at night (to save power and avoid disturbing neighbors).
Some systems will also let you select an option to maintain your lights at a reduced power setting, so you have a soft glow rather than full illumination.
Many systems also include a motion sensor in the control system. When the motion sensor is activated, it fully illuminates the lights for a pre-selected amount of time.
This performs 2 functions:
- It either advises you that there is someone on your property. In this situation the motion sensor fully illuminates the lights to alert you when an intruder has entered your property, providing your home with all night security.
- Or it turns on the lights to welcome you home and guide you safely to your door.
These lighting controllers are suitable to use with manor house landscape lighting systems.
