The home of the future is here! If you’re a home builder you no doubt are already dealing with a bewildering array of new technology requests from clients, ranging from fiber optic wiring to new heating and cooling systems. Technology is also rapidly remaking the way we light our homes. New lighting controls and touch pad control technology have expanded the usability and functionality of home lighting far beyond what was previously imaginable.

One new technology you’ll see soon, if you haven’t already, is touch pad lighting controls. Beginning to be used extensively throughout the home, these wall touch pads feature pre-programmed lighting scenes and a dimming override. They can be installed for all decorative ceiling lighting, recessed lighting and cove lighting, as well as for all ceiling fans and fire places. In a home theatre setting, for example, touch pad controls can be integrated into the movie and sound systems as well as overhead track lighting.

One effect of all this new technology is an unprecedented ability to customize settings and effects for each customer. For example, touch pads in bedroom areas can be installed as under-floor units. As the client steps out of bed in the darkness a pre-programmed sequence switches on pathway lighting to guide them to the bath and hall.

All smart controls utilize leading-edge technology can be tied to a central computer in the home. This computer can be adjusted or be re-programmed via the Internet by support staff per a client�s request. As can be seen, the future is here today in home lighting, and can be made as unique as each home�s owners.
