Study Notes
Advantages of Automated Lighting System
- Automatic control of light sources is possible
- Energy consumption is reduced as lights are only turned on when necessary
- Wireless connections are safer with no trailing wires
- Bulb life is longer due to dimming or switching off when not in use
- Programmable new light displays for various occasions are possible
Disadvantages of Automated Lighting System
- Initial setup is expensive
- Wireless connections can be less reliable than wired systems
- Maintenance is required to ensure consistent performance, which can be costly
Home Automation Examples
- Automatic outdoor lighting system in a house that turns on when someone enters the garden or at dusk
- Microprocessor-controlled water fountain display with synchronized lighting that only turns on in the dark
