The good thing about lighting is that it can be used to help attract customers when it comes to hospitality settings such as cafes, bars, restaurants, hotels and nightclubs. It can encourage longer stays, add real personality and help your space stand out from others. Dimmed lighting, warm tones or cool illumination can create the mood you like for your venue.
The benefit of upgrading to smart lighting is that it can transform spaces for any occasion or time of day, enabling venues to attract customers whenever they want.
Personality, Mood and Transformations
For restaurants or pubs looking to open for longer periods than before lockdown or at different times of the day, perhaps for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it may be that the same lighting doesn’t suit each occasion.
A small, quirky cafe that is only open during daylight hours will need very different lighting to a large, prestigious restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. For breakfast time, if you’re able to, make the most of natural light by understanding the light your space will experience as the sun moves. As for those extending hours into the afternoon and evening, bear in mind that lower lighting helps customers relax and encourages them to stay longer.
For those who open in the evenings and want to create an impact, or like dimmed warm tones whilst customers are wining and dining but want to transform the space to something more snazzy as the dining comes to an end and dancing may be on the cards, Connect.Control, Aurora’s bluetooth smart lighting system, is the perfect option.
Simple Smart Control
By installing the Connect.Control Smart Lighting system, restaurants, cafes, pubs and nightclubs can take full control over their lighting. Using just a remote control or their phone for advanced features, lighting can be changed instantly for any occasion. And should lighting be required to change at regular intervals, scheduling enables them to be dimmed, brightened, changed from cool from warm to any colour on the spectrum, and more. Individual lighting can also be controlled separately, creating different scenes and enabling different moods to be created in the same space.
For those that want to offer wedding packages or open up for small gatherings and more, smart lighting is also extremely beneficial as it can enable a couple to really tailor the room to suit their tastes and activities.
Retrofit or New Lighting Scheme
No matter whether you want to replace old lighting with smart lighting or start anew with a fresh design, the Connect.Control system can easily be installed.
A super simple smart solution, Connect.Control can be used straight out of the box - there’s absolutely no set up required! Operated with bluetooth technology, users can manage their lighting with just a remote control, an excellent method as it means that whether it’s installed in the lounge, dining room or children’s bedroom, anyone in the household can easily set the lighting to their preference.
To install Connect.Control in any room simply open the box, install the light fittings, turn on the remote and you’ve got smart lighting. You don’t even need a hub or have to download an app.
The remotes can be grouped to each room and it is possible to access six RGB colours, trigger five pre-programmed scenes, set brightness or adjust colour temperature from warm to cool.
Battery Wireless Dimmer
Our new AOne™ Bluetooth Battery Rotary Dimmer switch can wirelessly control Connect.Control devices out of the box. The left dimmer offers the dimming function of the group, the right dimmer allows the adjustment of the colour temperature and you can enable a secondary mode by pressing the dimmer for 3-4 seconds. This allows scene cycling and 6 RGB colours, giving the same functionality as the connect.control remote controller.
10W RGB+Tuneable White Downlight
Should you use downlights in your lighting scheme, you can simply replace them with these simple and powerful smart RGB + Tuneable White downlights. They have an opaque diffuser to create strong colour mixes as well as functional white lights from warm to cool for high versatility.
GU10
Our Bluetooth controlled lamps are a simple and convenient way to smarten your lighting space. The GU10 lamps come with built-in RGB + tuneable white and will retrofit into existing fixtures with a GU10 base.
RGBCX LED Strip
This Bluetooth LED Strip is perfect for placing anywhere to create a smart home as a hub is not required. Whether it’s under a bar top, on shelves, down some stairs, around a door, adding LED strip to a hospitality venue can create the right mood no matter what the occasion. We now also introduce strip addition packs, which are a simple and cost effective way to add more runs of the strip to the LED strip kit, increasing the length you are able to run off of the 5m and 3m strip kit.
