An intelligent lighting control system essentially regulates lighting according to the function of an area, the time of day, outdoor brightness, or the intended use of the space. Most importantly, it supports preset modes, meaning it can adjust lighting brightness to a series of predefined configurations. These settings, also referred to as scenes, can be automatically activated by a dimming system or a central building control system.

An intelligent lighting control system essentially controls lighting based on the function of an area, the time of day, outdoor brightness, or the purpose of the space. Most importantly, it supports presetting — that is to say, it can adjust lighting brightness to a series of predefined configurations. These settings, also known as scenes, can be automatically activated by a dimming system or a central building control system. When used in a home, it can take the form of an integrated central controller with a touchscreen interface. In practice, this system replaces the full building management system used in commercial environments. An intelligent lighting system is a fundamental part of the overall smart home, especially suitable for large residences, making life more convenient and comfortable. Lighting control systems can be standalone, room-specific, or large-scale networked systems. In networked systems, dimming equipment is installed in electrical cabinets and operated via a network of external devices such as sensors and control panels. The advantage of a networked system is that different zones within a room can be controlled from multiple points. At home, a control panel can be mounted on the wall near the main entrance as the primary control point for multiple outdoor rooms. An intelligent lighting system is an important subsystem of intelligent control systems. Intelligent control systems include intelligent lighting control, electric curtain control, temperature control, audio-visual control, security control, and more. Main products include intelligent controllers, wireless smart remote controls, wireless transceivers, infrared repeaters, computer controllers, intelligent switches, and others. They are smart products because they contain built-in computer chips and software with complex functions; at the same time, they are user-friendly products with exquisite appearances, and their installation methods and basic operations are similar to ordinary switches.
