Scenes

A Scene is used to adjust a Location’s Fixtures to achieve a desired lighting effect for a specific

period of time. Scenes apply to specific Locations, and as such are not global settings. You can

create Scenes for short Events, like a presentation. For example, a common Scene in a

conference room is presentation mode—the lights near the projector screen are turned off

completely, while the other Fixtures are slightly dimmed.

You can also assign specific Scenes to the buttons of the Scene Control Wall Switch to allow

users to override the current Policy or Scenes as needed. The Scene can be deactivated to

return the room’s lighting control to its regularly scheduled Event/Policy.

Note: Applying a Scene overrides Task-Tuning. When the Scene is deactivated, the lights return

to the previously Task-Tuned level.
