Home Decor Light Kit

A friend wanted better control of the lighting for her home, and this was the result. Our goal was to craft the lighting effects to be as realistic as possible. These lights are highly configurable so you can create just the right atmosphere for your home or studio

There are five light styles in this kit:

• Pendant Light - This fixture can be configured to project light in all directions, only to the side and down, or place a spot of the floor.
• Globe Lights - There are two variations a this ball light in the package. One is just a sphere (you can make this very small place in inside a lamp fixture that does not have its own light script), and one build with a suspension rod to hang from the ceiling. shrunk down and placed inside a table lamp that does not have its own light script.
• Can Light - This is positioned just below the ceiling to project a spot of the floor.
• Two Outdoor lights - Matching Path and Porch Lights cast light down and outward but not up

Features

• There are the light projection patterns available for some of the lights:
  • GP -- General Purpose throws light in all directions
  • GPNC -- throws light in all directions except toward the ceiling
  • DOWN -- projects a spot toward the floor

• Select the color for the fixture: White, Black, Silver, Copper, or Gold.

  Note that the resulting fixture color can be affected by the default color of the fixture.

• Select the color of the projected light:
  

  • Daylight - Pure white typically used for outdoors or work spaces
  • Soft White - Warmer color typically used for homes to create a more cozy feeling.
  • Red
  • Green
  • Blue
  • Yellow

Controls

You can touch any light to get a menu with several options: Turn it on or off, or set the intensity: Dim, Low, Medium, High

You can also assign light to a Switch Group and control all lights in the same Switch Group from one place.

There is also an optional wall switch you can assign to Switch Groups so you can control lights from one location.

Customization

There are several ways to adjust the lights to get just the look you want:

• Set the size
• Set the distance the light will travel
• Set the size of the spot for DOWN lights
• Set the amount of glow for the fixture glass
• Set the color of the projected light

Also available on the menu are sub-menus for adjusting the Size, Radius (distance the light travels), and (if the light is a 'DOWN' light), the size of the Spot on the floor. These adjustments are temporary but are connivent way for you to quickly determine the values to be used for permanent configuration of the light(s).

Group Configuration

Configuring each light with all of these setting is can be avoided by defining configuration groups.

All lights in the same Config Group will share the configuration defined for the Config Master light for the group. This way you only need to specify the values for a single light and it will distribute those settings to other lights same the same Config Group

Performance Considerations

In order for sharing of configuration or control of lights from one location to work, all of the lights will have an active listener. If you are in a poor performing region, you can avoid all these listeners by not including the SWITCH_GROUP and CONFIG_GROUP notecards. You will then need to touch each light to control it.
