Seamless Indoor & Outdoor Control
RAKO offers a complete lighting control solution for the entire home, allowing homeowners to create the perfect atmosphere both indoors and outdoors. Inside, smart lighting can be adjusted to suit different moods—whether it’s bright task lighting in the kitchen or warm, dimmed lighting for a relaxed evening.
Outdoors, RAKO extends its functionality to garden lighting and architectural features. Homeowners can highlight pathways, patios, and landscaping elements with precision, ensuring a beautifully lit outdoor space. With programmable lighting scenes, users can effortlessly transition between settings—illuminating outdoor seating areas for evening gatherings or creating dramatic garden effects with layered lighting and colour control.
For clients with large gardens that have multiple distinct areas, the challenge often lies in controlling the lighting without having to clutter the space with switches. Many of our clients, as well as ourselves, have found that smart lighting solutions are the perfect way to maintain seamless control while keeping the aesthetics clean and minimal. These systems allow for easy management of garden lighting across various zones, whether through a single app.
With smart lighting, there’s no need for multiple switches scattered throughout the garden, and users can effortlessly create different atmospheres, set schedules, and even enhance security with just a few taps or commands. This flexibility, combined with the sleek, modern design of smart lights, makes it an ideal option for those who want both convenience and style in their outdoor spaces.
Integration with Smart Home Systems
RAKO seamlessly integrates with modern smart home ecosystems, allowing for effortless control via:
- RAKO’s dedicated app
- Home automation platforms, ensuring synchronised control with other smart devices
This connectivity allows for custom automation, such as lights gradually brightening in the morning, dimming in the evening, or turning off automatically when no one is home. Homeowners can also set up geofencing, ensuring lights switch on when they arrive and off when they leave. With RAKO, smart lighting becomes intuitive, efficient, and perfectly tailored to each user’s lifestyle.
Beyond Lighting: Garden & Fountain Control
RAKO goes beyond standard home lighting by offering control over outdoor features like garden lighting and fountains. Homeowners can synchronise these elements to create stunning visual displays, such as illuminating a water feature as it flows or adjusting garden lights to highlight landscaping at night.
With advanced scheduling, garden lighting can turn on at dusk and off at dawn automatically, while fountains can be programmed to operate in harmony with lighting scenes. This enhances not only outdoor aesthetics but also energy efficiency, ensuring that features are only active when needed.
The Benefits of Smart Lighting for Homeowners
- Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings – Dimmable LED lighting and automation features help reduce energy consumption and lower electricity bills.
- Convenience & Remote Access – Homeowners can adjust lighting from anywhere via their smartphone.
- Enhanced Security – Automated lighting schedules create the illusion of occupancy, deterring potential intruders and improving home safety.
