Usage Examples
The Smart technology combined with magnetic LED lights ensures that one is spoilt for choice regarding the type of lighting required in a particular room in the house. Here are some examples of how these systems can be utilized in different spaces:
- Living Room: In the living room, for instance, magnetic track lighting can change its intensity depending on the time of the day or the movement in the room. For instance, during the day, the system can replicate natural light, from the blue light of the early morning to the amber light of the evening. At times, when watching a movie, a simple voice command or a touch on the smartphone can control the lighting and its color to set the right mood for the movie.
- Kitchen: One of the most important rooms in a house is the kitchen. Magnetic fixtures in this room can also be linked to motion sensors and timers. Under-cabinet lighting can be motion-activated and come on when a person enters the kitchen to help with task lighting for food preparation. In the evening, it is possible to set the system to a pre-defined “dining mode” whereby the brightness and color temperature of the area can be set to optimal for eating.
- Bedroom: In the bedroom, for instance, smart magnetic lighting can be scheduled to mimic the body’s circadian rhythm. Dimming lights in the evening can prepare the body for bedtime, whereas a gradual increase in light in the morning can help the body wake up naturally. It is compatible with smart alarm clocks, which can slowly turn on warm, low-intensity light when the person needs to get up.
- Home Office: Smart magnetic track lighting can be adjusted to maximize productivity and comfort. It also can change the color temperature and the screen’s brightness depending on the time of the day to help reduce eye strain and help a user concentrate. Some of the lighting scenes can be programmed to be activated by calendar applications at the time of video calls.
