GET SMART ON LIGHTING

Often a new year is a good time to reflect on the year passed and wonder what lies ahead for the next 12 months. We decided on taking the latter when discussing lighting innovation. Gavin Williams, Head of Marketing at Hamilton Litestat gives us his take on what we can expect in 2019.

“Smart controls will continue to be a hot topic, with wireless lighting control set to be a front-running industry trend for the coming year.

More and more consumers are attracted to the proposition of a ‘smarter home’, fuelled in part by the numerous smart devices currently on the market. Smart lighting control is particularly appealing, as the use of dimmers and sensors allows homeowners to set several lighting scenes that create a multi-functional living environment: daily living, work and entertainment, as well as reducing energy costs.

There is an expanding range of wireless lighting control solutions on the market to support this demand which continues to inform Hamilton’s product development programme.  Smart controls will continue to be a hot topic, with wireless lighting control set to be a front-running industry trend for the coming year."
