Leia's Lights

A friend wanted better control of the lighting for her home, and this was the result. These lights are highly configurable so you can create just the right atmosphere for your home or studio

There are five light styles in the package:

• Pendant Light - This is the only fixture that can be configured to for General Purpose, General Purpose with no ceiling light, or a Down light
• Globe Light - A general purpose light that you can use on the ceiling (add your own suspension rod or cord), or shrunk down and placed inside a table lamp. Can be configured General Purpose light, or General Purpose but with no ceiling light.
• Can Light - This is positioned just below the ceiling to project a spot of the floor. It always acts as a Down Light
• Two Outdoor lights - A Path Light and matching Porch Light cast light down and outward but not up

Our goal was to craft the lighting effects to be as realistic as possible.

Features

• You can assign each light to a Group and control the intensity of all of them from one place. This lets you turns lights on/off by room.
• You can touch any light in a Group to get a menu for brightness selection, or optionally add a wall switch for the Group
• Configure the lights for three styles:
  • General Purpose - throws light in all directions
  • General Purpose but with no projection to the ceiling (the most realistic)
  • Down Light - that projects a spot downward 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 light color:
  • Daylight - slightly bluish white typically used for outdoors or work spaces
  • Neutral White
  • 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

A light switch is also included so you can control a group of lights from one location.

If the light (or switch), you touch is part of a 'switch group', turning it on or off, or setting the intensity, will affect all lights in the group

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).

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.
