Coming home in the evening to lights that automatically dim to a soft, warm glow – instant comfort for your eyes.
Waking up in the morning without being jolted by an alarm, as your bedroom lights gradually brighten like a sunrise.
When the little one’s going to sleep, the lights automatically fade over 30 minutes, helping them drift off peacefully.
Sounds like something out of a fancy smart home system from a film, doesn’t it? Actually, all it takes is a £46 Repenic smart dimmer switch. It’s really not as complicated as you might think.
The traditional idea of a dimmer switch is just to make the lights a bit brighter or darker. But Repenic aims to do much more than that. It can help you adjust your body clock, simulate being at home, and boost your productivity, all without needing to change your light fittings or do any complicated installation. Most users can get the hang of it in minutes.
Want to Sleep Better? Lighting Can Help
You might not know that 87% of Brits scroll on their phones before bed (YouGov research, 2022). The blue light and bright light affect the melatonin our brains produce, making sleep quality worse and worse. But Repenic’s “Sleep Companion Mode” and “Morning Wake-Up” can quietly improve this:
Co-Sleep Mode: Set a start time (e.g., 9 pm) and a duration (30 minutes), and the lights will gradually fade from their current brightness to off during this time, helping your body naturally produce melatonin. Perfect for getting kids to sleep or building healthy bedtime habits.
Morning Wake-Up: Set it to start at 6:00 am, and the lights will gradually brighten from their lowest setting to your chosen maximum brightness, like a sunrise. No jarring noises, just a gentle way to wake up.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) Relief: During the long winter months in the UK, many people are affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). By setting the “Morning Wake-Up” feature, even when it’s still dark outside, you can be awakened by “sunlight” at a set time, helping you feel less gloomy and more positive.
Moonlight Mode: When you turn on the lights at night, they automatically switch to a soft, low glow, keeping the space visible without disturbing deep sleep, making it safer to get up in the night.
Out and About? Make it Look Like You’re Home with the Dimmer Switch
Flexible Remote Control: Via the mobile app, you can check and adjust your home’s lighting status at any time, whether you’re on holiday or working late, giving you real-time control over your lighting.
Dynamic Lighting to Optimise Your Home Office and Study Environment
Around 44% of Brits regularly work from home. The problem? The wrong lighting can tank your productivity. Repenic’s smart settings and flexible control can transform into a productivity-boosting tool:
Set Up Task Lighting: Adjust the lighting according to different work tasks – soft, diffused light for video calls; increase brightness to 100% when you need to focus; set to a medium, warm light when reading documents to reduce eye strain.
Energy Monitoring and Optimisation: The “power consumption detection” feature lets you see the actual electricity usage of your lighting, understand the energy differences between different brightness settings, and find the best balance between visual comfort and energy saving.
Small details, big impact. Repenic uses light to quietly improve your daily well-being.
Don’t worry about installation; Repenic is designed for everyday folks:
You don’t need to spend hundreds of pounds on a smart home system. Starting with a £31.9 Repenic dimmer switch, you can gradually make your life more comfortable, safer, and more efficient.
