Scenestyle specifications

N.B. The when purchasing a control unit you also need to purchase a fascia plate, which come in the following finishes:- off white; brushed stainless steel; polished chrome or polished brass.

SceneStyle2 or 4 from Mode are the stylish ways to control your lighting. Self-contained, they connect to your existing wiring without fuss and can control up to 2 or 4 independent lighting circuits. The controller can quickly and easily be programmed by the user to store any combination of four moods or “scenes”, as well as on and off.

By selecting the different scenes, areas of your home can have completely different lighting atmospheres to suit your use of the space. You can turn your living room into a home cinema, the day room into a quiet snug and the conservatory into a dining room, all at the touch of a button. You can also select “full on” for cleaning or increase/ decrease the brightness of an individual scene. Each scene can be any combination of the two or four lighting circuits at any brightness level from a soft glow to bright illumination.

Even the time taken to “fade” between each different mood is programmable!
