INTRODUCTION TO RAKO
Rako is leading the way in providing state of the art digital dimming technology, providing innovative solutions to meet the needs of a diverse range of applications with lighting systems that are simple to use, creative, easily installed and cost effective. Designed and manufactured in the UK.
Mood lighting systems offer the user the ability to recall a scene, or mood of lighting, at the touch of a single button despite controlling multiple circuits and lamp types. Circuits are split to define zones and highlight room features and are programmed to suit the different uses of a space. Scene changes incorporate fade times giving subtle lighting transitions.
Push button systems allow two, or multi-way control and can be controlled from hand-held remotes or smartphones. Digital communication means system integration is easily achievable, linking lighting to audio-visual, security and building controllers, including control of curtains, blinds and screens.
Rako offers a number of installation options including wireless control for ease of installation and retro-fit applications. More complex projects may suit the wired network with centralised RAK units, or possibly combined systems giving a mix of both. The ability to offer wireless, wired or combined options means Rako can provide the best possible approach for any project and gives the safety net should cables be forgotten or extra wall-plates be needed after walls are sealed.
