..and style for the home.

Our lives are getting smarter. We have smart phones, smart TVs, even smart fridges. And as we become used to this labour-reducing and life-enhancing technology, demand increases. High-end technology that we’ve seen in films and experienced in top-quality hotels is now filtering into our everyday lives and households. Smart lighting that can be controlled with the flick of a switch or swipe of a button, smart audio that can stream music to any area of the home, inside or out, is becoming increasingly popular in the home.

As a supplier of smart lighting control and multi-room audio systems, along with designer control panels, switch plates and sockets, Hamilton Litestat can help incorporate quality state-of-the-art electrical solutions into any room of a property, whether that be the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom or garden.

Don’t get left in the darkThe kitchen is the hub of the home. Its purpose has evolved from a meal preparation area to a multi-functional space used for entertaining and relaxing. As the kitchen’s functionality increases, so does its desired size and we’re seeing the rise of the ‘super kitchen’. Other rooms are being combined into this large open plan area, often incorporating the outside space too with bifold or French doors.

With such an expanse of space and with varied requirements, it’s important to be able to switch between uses quickly and easily. Smart lighting is perfect for effortlessly converting the space from one function to another and creating zones for activities.

Setting the sceneTypically, rooms feature three types of lighting: task, accent and ambient. Ambient lighting sets the mood, accent lighting highlights key features and task lighting helps people to complete desired activities easily. Smart lighting control enables the creation and programming of ‘lighting scenes’ that finds the right balance between these three lighting types to create the desired atmosphere and complete necessary tasks.

In fact, ‘task’ undercabinet kitchen lighting is proving a popular trend at present. Often, ceiling lighting alone can cause shadows but undercabinet LED lighting illuminates the workspace below making it easier to complete precise tasks. With smart lighting control, a specific lighting scheme can make it easier to prepare food and complete knifework. Then, with a flick of a switch, this light can be softened, ambient ceiling lights can be dimmed, and accent lighting increased to transform the space into a relaxed dining area.

Let us feed & entertain you!Smart lighting allows the creation of multiple lighting scenes, so the perfect lighting can be set and quickly accessed for all popular kitchen/diner/living tasks, such as cooking, entertaining, the children doing homework at the breakfast counter, or reading in a comfortable chair.

Hamilton’s cost-effective and easy-to-install solution takes the complication out of smart lighting control. With a simple set-up procedure, it allows the user to create, store and recall lighting scenes easily without the need for complicated programming.

Add colour to your bedroomSmart lighting isn’t just for the kitchen, it can be applied anywhere in the home. The bedroom is the perfect place to incorporate the technology to enhance space. Appropriate lighting scenes can be created for winter mornings, summer mornings, watching television, reading in bed or simply relaxing. Additionally, with a DMX option, coloured accent lighting can highlight a key feature or completely change the ambience of a room with a RGB colour wash. Whatever the mood, the lighting and its colour can reflect this.

Wherever the music takes you.Additionally, smart audio technology can make the atmosphere even more relaxing. Multi-room audio allows easy streaming of music in multiple rooms, creating the luxurious feel of a top-quality hotel while in the comfort of your own home. Controlled by smart phone app, speakers can be installed into any room or space – even the garden – with the option of playing a single track on all speakers or different audio streams in different rooms.

Upgrade your bathroomMulti-room audio could even be installed in the bathroom to make an evening soak even more enjoyable. A recent poll by interior design outfit Houzz* indicated that a luxury bathroom experience was high in demand, with good lighting and relaxing space top considerations. Additionally, smart home features are also making their way into the bathroom, with consumers specifically looking for innovative technology, such as high-tech showers, toilets and baths. Smart lighting and audio control add that extra level of luxury, transforming the bathroom into a sanctuary of tranquility.

Making the switchWith all this technology and customisation, control panels and switch plate functionality and design are incredibly important. The homeowner is more tech-and style-conscious and we’re seeing a greater movement away from the bog-standard off-the-shelf fittings. Hamilton provides quality wiring accessories in a wide selection of designer styles and finishes for any area of the home. Sleek control panels are available for smart lighting and audio control, while switch plates offer a vast range of functions.

For the bathroom, stylish wiring accessories have shaver socket options. Meanwhile, both single and double USB charging ports are now seen as ‘essentials’ in the bedroom and kitchen, delivering extra charging capacity – supporting today’s desire for 24/7 connectivity. Additional functions such as telephone and aerial connections are also available for the bedroom or other living areas.

Tailored to suitOther kitchen options include grid-fix plates, allowing for the control of white goods with dedicated switches that can be marked with a printed name or icon for each appliance. Separate modules can be clipped together in any combination to ensure the switch plate is tailored to each property. Moreover, this can be completed on-site to accommodate any last-minute changes.

All switch plates and sockets can be provided in a coordinated design to suit the décor of each room. Plus, Hamilton’s new range of paintable plates offers a colour-match made in interior heaven. Available from the Hartland CFX® an Sheer CFX® collections, plates can be supplied pre-painted to exactly match – or even contrast – any wall colour or design theme. And in case you prefer to apply the colour yourself onsite, plates are also available in a ready-to-paint primed finish. * Houzz March 2017 Report – kbb Market Trends.
