Ceiling light intensity

Can you make it so that the user can control the intensity of the ceiling light? Or is there a way to do that already?

Re: Ceiling light intensity

Hi pencilart,

The only problem with offering ceiling light brightness control is, all ceiling lights are tied together with the option of being on or off in all rooms at once.
So changing a brightness setting of one ceiling light, would then change all ceiling lights to the same brightness, in all rooms.

Probably the easiest way is, turn the ceiling lights off and place a light bulb, just below the ceiling height, set at a size and brightness of your choice.

One important thing to note!
Make sure the light bulb is just below the ceiling and not part way into the ceiling, or you might see a dark circle and extra shadow noise, because photons from the light would be lost.

Or another idea is adding a centre light fitting, then add a light bulb (or bulbs) to it, finally set a brightness of your choice. The new cross-hairs should help with correct placement.

Re: Ceiling light intensity

Thanks!
I was wondering about that but I wasn't so sure.
