UK manufacturers of electrical accessories, Focus SB, have moved into the waters of Home Automated Lighting with a system they produce called HAL.
This system, which has been designed for a simple installation process, and to be user friendly, has been successfully installed into a number of properties.
Ross Thornhill, Focus SB’s HAL product manager said: ‘Clients look for a sophisticated means of controlling a lighting system that has pre-set scenes but they do not necessarily want to see complex control options.’
This system is suitable for controlling low and mains voltage filament lamps and compatible led lamps. The HAL panel is networked to the wall mounted control plates with a CAT5/6 data cable.
The Home Automated Lighting enables for lighting scenes to be set in a room to create a particular atmosphere. The lighting can also be programmed alongside the music and any visual capabilities a room has also.
Focus SB’s HAL wall mounted control plates can contain OLED display units that have an internal library of icons that can relate to the selected/ programmed scene.
Also available is a four-channel universal digital relay module that has been designed to control ancillary circuits. These can be electronic curtains, blinds roof lights and television projector screens.
