Have you seen the light? Millions of Americans have, but
UK residents are still in the dark. But MARK TRENT says all this is
about to change. Meet Futronix...
Do you have a light bulb in your room? It may seem a ridiculous
question, yet this makes you a potential client of digital dimmer
company, Futronix. As the world leader in this particular field of
lighting technology, Futronix cater for a whole spectrum of applications,
whether it be installing their all singing, all dancing PFX system to control
the grandiose chandeliers and extravagant peacock-feather lamps in your
luxury mansion, or simply pointing the remote control at your humble P100
unit to dim the lounge lights (all because you can't be bothered moving out
of your comfy armchair), they can do pretty much anything where lighting
is concerned. Truly, no job is too big or too small.
dawn of enlightenment
Unfortunately, at present, the average British
punter knows remarkably little about this kind of technology. But
not for much longer. The demand for lighting control within both residential
and commercial environments has increased at a phenomenal rate, with
housing developers, new builders, AV installers, and home cinema nuts
rushing to buy these special units. Of course, in the US, lighting
control has been very popular for a number of years - they always
seem know a good thing when they see it. And it's only now that the
UK has finally noticed what's going on in the rest of the world and
decided to catch up.
Which takes us neatly back to Futronix. Having been at the forefront of
this surge in demand for obvious reasons, the company is now finding its
unique services and expertise in considerable demand.
So how did they achieve this lofty position in a market that is crammed
with differing technologies? Well, first of all, the company prides itself on
technological virility, offering the only truly digital dimmer controls, meaning
the units are smaller and more accurate than croaky old analogue systems.
They have two ranges of lighting controls, domestic (P100, P400, P800)
and commercial (Enviroscene and PFX). The number and load of lighting
circuits you have within a room determines the particular unit you
require. So, if you wanted to install Futronix lighting controls in
your kitchen, you would have, for example, two wall lights, a main
light and under cupboard lighting totalling 1200W. The four-channel
1.2KW P400 would be the ideal solution. Simply replace your old fashioned
switches with the sparkling P400 and enjoy full control of your kitchen's
mood! Simple but remarkably effective.
design and technology
Available in white metal, brushed stainless steel, brass, chrome, and white
plastic, the P400 can blend in with all interiors and, should you still worry
about the aesthetics of your room, rest easy, it looks attractive too! In fact,
you can show off to all your friends and be the talk of the town. Just don't
let slip how much it cost you...
On which note... for less than 150, the P100 unit is an absolute bargain.
It comes complete with a remote control and has 20 programmable scenes
(or moods). Other features include a timer, lighting displays and
even a sleep function which gently fades the lights up - a great alternative
to that bloody annoying alarm clock klaxon that wakes you in a bad
mood every morning. Practical, easy to use, and rewarding. Now's the
time to take control of your lights.
