Nikobus Shines as the Perfect Lighting Solution All of Niko’s Lighting Controls work off of our Nikobus System. A totally flexible approach to home automation, Nikobus is easily installed, easily programmed and easily expanded. The Nikobus system allows automated operations based on communications, between individual electrical appliances in the household, targeted to provide optimum comfort and safety. It is simple, flexible and modular, allowing for design, planning and easy programming with or without a PC. The lighting design program is simplicity itself. The Nikobus allows you to create and store light scenes, with each scene easily activated by a single key. Although each control module contains a bus power supply, only one of these power supplies is active for the entire installation – with the others taking over automatically should a defect occur with the first bus power supply. This guarantees that the Nikobus keeps working at all times. Niko offers total solutions in the field of lighting control and home automation, providing a ‘Feature-Full’ system.
Niko Transformers Save Both Time and Money Every installation needs transformers and Niko’s range of low-voltage transformers are not only compact and efficient, but also very quick and easy to install. This new type of transformer with snap-on connectivity has been planned with energy saving in mind and anticipates the removal of 230 volt halogen and incandescent (filament) lamps from the market. Tests have shown that a 12 volt spotlight connected to a Niko transformer will produce a brighter light yet consume less energy. Niko’s wire connection system typically saving a third of the installation time compared to the traditional terminal connections. Niko’s innovative design has ensured that these transformers are suitable for the vast majority of applications. The new range offers a very compact transformer with a diameter of only 38mm and with IP65 standard protection, they are damp proof and so can also be used in outdoor applications.
Niko’s Touch Screen Lights the Way Niko’s intelligent management system enables your home to be tailored specifically to meet all of your Lighting Control needs. Programmable either manually or via PC, the Niko Touch Screen is a discreet, aesthetically pleasing and intuitive user interface which can be easily mounted on the wall, enabling you to enjoy the freedom of multi-zone control throughout your home.
Compact or Classic – Lighting Controls Tailored for You Both Niko’s Switch Controller and Dim Controller come in standard and compact forms; enabling you to fully take control of all your lighting with systems designed to match your needs. Each standard Switch Controller provides 12 internal relays to control electrical settings throughout the installation and includes a microprocessor, isolated power supply, and diagnostic reporting to ensure your lights are on whenever you need them.

A Stylish Updated Victorian Apartment The Ground Floor Apartment in this converted Victorian house was spacious and inviting but not modern enough. The challenge was to update the interior and introduce technology without impinging on the aesthetics. Everything is controlled by a Nikobus lighting control and home automation system using a single remote control unit; a Nevo Q50 Universal Remote. The apartment has two bedrooms, each with en-suite shower room, an integrated living space including a lounge area; kitchen, utility and dining space and large glass doors from the dining space can be opened to allow the garden to become a part of the living areas. Inside, the lighting is a combination of stunning modern light fittings and the creative use of white LEDs to flood areas for the maximum impact. Blinds are electronically controlled so that the mood can be changed at the press of a button. An electronically operated mirrored panel above the gas-flame fire hides the flat-screen television in the living area and the sound is delivered from one of eight sources available into four zones. It is stored using iTunes on an Apple MacMini and accessed using an iPhone, or the Nevo. A wireless keyboard and mouse allows for internet access via the television.
