What is a Rako System?

What are the benefits of having a smart lighting control system in my home?

Mood lighting systems offer the user the ability to recall a scene, or mood of lighting at the touch of a single button despite controlling multiple circuits and lamp types. Circuits are split to define zones, highlighting room features and are programmed to suit the different uses of a space.

A Rako lighting control system automates your home by allowing you to operate your lighting system from a centralised location.

You can choose to manipulate the lighting in a single room or control the lighting for your entire home by using a Rako smart home lighting control panel. The control module allows you to program each button on the keypad to produce a particular lighting effect or scene.

Wired vs Wireless

Rako offers two main types of lighting control systems: wired and wireless. A wired system connects the lighting control directly to the hard-wired light fixture through a physical cable. Wireless systems allow you to control lighting with a remote or smartphone application, which communicates wirelessly with a central controller, enabling you to operate your lighting from anywhere in your house.

• Enables easy system updates
• Allows for more functionality
• Not dependent on battery power

Benefits of a wireless system

• Ideal for retrofit solutions and existing homes
• Simple installation process
• Cost-effective components
