THE MAJOR ADVANTAGE OF A LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM OVER STAND-ALONE LIGHTING CONTROLS OR CONVENTIONAL MANUAL SWITCHING IS THE ABILITY TO CONTROL INDIVIDUAL LIGHTS OR GROUPS OF LIGHTS FROM A SINGLE USER INTERFACE DEVICE.

This ability to control multiple light sources from a user device allows complex lighting scenes to be created.
A room may have multiple scenes preset, each one created for different activities in the room. A major benefit of lighting control systems is reduced energy consumption. Longer lamp life is also gained when dimming and switching off lights when not in use. Wireless lighting control systems provide additional benefits including reduced installation costs and increased flexibility over where switches and sensors may be placed.
