As our eyes age...

Starting around age 40, a person's ability to see gradually diminishes. Statistics estimate one of the 78 million U.S. baby boomers turns 60 every seven seconds. These statistics verify the projection that half the U.S. population will be older than 65 by 2032. And, according to the AARP, 90 percent of baby boomers want to continue living in their own homes as they age.

Knowing this information helps a professional lighting designer to properly illuminate a space for now and for the future as studies have shown that a 65-year-old may need up to 15 times as much light to read as a 10-year-old. It is important to hire a lighting designer that is educated in the discipline. Make certain whom you hire has the proper credentials to assure that your lighting design meets all of today's needs. Sadly, so many designers out there are nothing more than a ex parts sales person and such far from meets the needs which can be a costly mistake for you to make. Check the background of anyone you hire...

LiteTouch

LiteTouch is clearly the best automated lighting control on the market. What is the most important interface between the system and the occupant? The keypad of course and with that, no one makes better keypads than LiteTouch hands down. Look for yourself we say or come by our office and we will show you what we mean.

We are excited about the new LiteTouch RF interface products. Simply pop a new card in your system processor and one can add keypads anywhere they want to control any load they want. No more need for a wire to communicate anymore. This is a big break through and we are so excited about the possiblilities.
