Domestic Case Studies

Our customer wished to have some garden lights installed under trees, along a sea wall, around the summer house and in the fire pit. They wanted a wireless controller to control all lights being able to have different colours in different areas and a single switch integrated into their existing Rako home automation system.

The Challenge 

A significant challenge in this protect was the environment. It is right on the shoreline with prevailing weather causing regular flooding and the new lighting could be impacted by this flooding.

Our Solution

To address the harsh environment challenge with contacted GAP Lighting to help specify suitable light fittings that would be suitable in the environment and a have wireless switch/control system to set colours and light levels by zones.

The trees were lit with 50W RGBCCT flood lights whilst the Seawall, Firepit and Summer House all had RGBCCT LED stripe installed within an aluminium profile with opaque lids. All LED power supplied were IP65 as were the Flood lights.

The challenge of the Rako integration; All the electrical supplies to the lights were switched via a contractor housed near to the consumer unit and used a Rako Wi-Fi switch controller to enable the Rako App to switch all the garden lights on and off from the customers phone.

The solution allows the customer to select different colours and light levels within the zones and then switch all on or off at the touch of their phone from anywhere in the world.

We met the customers brief in full providing the colour changing and switching they were looking for. We built a strong relationship with the customer and continue to regularly work at their home 3 years later.
