Background 

Dunham House Senior Living is a modern residential care community dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for its residents. The facility required a lighting control solution that would improve resident comfort, reduce energy consumption, and simplify daily operations without extensive building modifications. 

Lumos Controls delivered a fully wireless intelligent lighting platform that transformed the facility’s conventional lighting into an automated, connected system designed to enhance both resident experience and operational efficiency. 

Objectives 

• Improve resident comfort through intelligent lighting automation 

• Reduce lighting energy consumption 

• Simplify lighting management for facility staff 

• Minimize installation disruption with a wireless solution 

• Provide centralized monitoring and control 

• Enable future scalability without additional wiring 

Challenges 

Senior living facilities require lighting that balances resident comfort, safety, and operational efficiency. Common areas, resident rooms, corridors, and staff spaces each have unique occupancy patterns and lighting requirements. 

The facility also needed a retrofit-friendly solution that avoided extensive rewiring while maintaining normal daily operations. Staff required an easy-to-manage system that could automate routine lighting tasks and provide centralized visibility across the property. 

Lumos Controls Solution 

Lumos Controls delivered a fully wireless smart lighting control solution that transformed the facility’s lighting infrastructure into an intelligent, responsive system. 

The deployment included: 

Occupancy-Based Automation 

Wireless occupancy sensors automatically control lighting based on room usage, ensuring spaces are illuminated only when needed. 

Intelligent Room-Level Control 

Smart room controllers continuously manage lighting behavior, allowing each area to operate according to its specific needs while maintaining occupant comfort. 

Wireless User Controls 

EnOcean-based wireless wall controls provide intuitive access to lighting adjustments without requiring additional wiring or maintenance. 

Centralized Visibility 

Facility managers can monitor and manage lighting performance from a single platform, enabling faster response times and better operational oversight. 

Scalable Wireless Architecture 

The wireless infrastructure allows future expansion and system enhancements without costly building modifications.
