Whether installed in a single room or a whole home a Skylark lighting Smart Solutions saves energy. Digital dimming ensures a dimmed lamp actual uses less energy (unlike lesser systems which simply use the same energy and create lots of heat) which means the benefits over a whole home can be huge. We have seen this in practice in two projects – Our Derby project was commissioned using a generator whilst we waited for mains hookup and the fuel lasted approximately 5 times as long as forecast; and our Dubai job where a limit on the incoming mains supply meant further expansion was impossible, we were able to prove our lighting system substantially lowered the load. 

Now factor the single room benefits up to include every room of the home – not only do you get the different scenes for different activities but there starts to become convenience and economies too. Pressing a light switch by the bed head can bring lighting on in the en-suite with a different level preset for the middle of the night (with no fan!) than during the day. Integration with security systems allows setting the alarm to switch off all internal lighting (or revert to the previously mentioned holiday mode).
