💡 Types of Smart Lighting Systems
At Mastery IT, we offer a range of smart lighting options tailored to your space, lifestyle, and budget.
1. Scene-Based Lighting Control
Create and save lighting “scenes” for different activities:
-
Morning
-
Movie Night
-
Dinner Time
-
Party Mode
-
Bedtime
You can activate them with a single button or app command.
Example: In a villa in Palm Hills, the “Good Night” scene automatically turns off all interior lights, closes curtains, and dims outdoor garden lights to 20.
2. Smart Dimmers
Dim lighting levels to suit the mood or activity, reducing glare and energy use.
✅ Applications:
-
Living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas
-
Ambient lighting in hallways or stairs
-
Adjust brightness with time of day
Tech Tip: Many dimmers work with LED and halogen bulbs, and integrate with KNX, Buspro, or RS485 systems.
3. Motion Sensors & Timers
Ideal for bathrooms, corridors, and outdoor areas—these systems detect presence and switch lights on or off automatically.
✅ Benefits:
-
Hands-free convenience
-
Energy savings
-
Added security at night
Example: In an apartment in Maadi, Mastery IT installed motion sensors in the hallway and kitchen that activate lights only when movement is detected—saving energy during the day.
4. Time-Based Schedules
Set lighting routines by time—great for regular habits or travel.
✅ Use Cases:
-
Wake-up lighting that gradually brightens in the morning
-
Lights that switch on at sunset

These systems are programmable via wall panels, mobile apps, or cloud dashboards.

Alexa
