Rako Lighting Control

Description

What is Rako lighting control?

Rako is a British lighting-control specialist, founded in 2002 and designing and manufacturing at its own ISO-certified factory in Rochester, Kent. A Rako system replaces banks of ordinary switches with one elegant, intuitive way to control every light in the house — and the moods they create. Recall whole lighting “scenes” at a touch, dim and group lights room by room or across the whole home, set them to a schedule, adjust colour temperature, and control everything from refined keypads, a phone app or your voice.

A professionally installed system, not an off-the-shelf product

A Rako lighting scheme is bespoke — designed around your property, properly wired, professionally programmed and fully commissioned. As an officially certified Rako dealer, Hidden Home Technology handles the whole process end to end, from first-fix wiring to the final scene-setting. Because Rako offers both wired and wireless options, it suits a sensitive period renovation and a new build equally well, and it integrates neatly with blinds, audio-visual and wider smart-home control.

What a Rako system can do

• One-touch lighting scenes — “evening”, “cooking”, “goodnight” — at the press of a keypad
• Whole-home dimming and grouping, room by room or all at once
• Colour-temperature tuning, from warm and relaxing to bright and functional
• Scheduling, so lights follow the day automatically
• Wired, wireless and hybrid options to suit any property
• Control from elegant keypads, a phone app or your voice
• Integration with blinds, audio-visual and wider smart-home systems
