Lighting control is the ability to regulate the level and quality of light in a given space for specific tasks or situations. We all should be seeking multiple light sources for our spaces. This enhances the ambient experience. However, manually and individually operating the lamps, overhead lights, counter lights, and/ or chandelier can, without a doubt, change the mood of our space but just might also be tedious and annoying. Convenience is the primary reason for the consideration of lighting controls. Lighting controls save energy and more importantly time. I recommend lighting controls for everyone no matter how complex or simple your lighting system is.

Light and Dark
Shadow in the space is just as important to creating ambiance as the lights. The mood in the room is quite different when an over head light is the only source of light compared to the same room with its table lamps as the only source of light. The shadows cast by the table lamps are an integral part of that lighting scene. In effect we have two different moods. Two different scenes. We almost have to different rooms.
Ambiance
Ambiance is the character and atmosphere of a place. This includes the mood, the feeling, the impression, and even the climate . This quality of a space can be enhanced with addition of choices for lighting and sound.
