How we test scene settings before handover
9 Sept 2026 · 4 min read
Our sequence for checking scenes, dimming range and control response on site, so the handover day has no surprises.
Handover is the first time a client sees the lighting scheme in its final state, and the last practical moment to correct it. We treat it as a test rather than a demonstration.
Pass one: load by load
The first pass is load-by-load: every circuit is driven from 100% down to its lowest stable level to find flicker, drop-out and audible driver noise. This is done before any scene is recalled, so faults are isolated to a single fixture group.
Pass two: the scene list in real order
The second pass runs the scene list in the order a client would use it — arrival, working, dining, evening, night. Each scene is checked for balance across the room and for the transition speed between scenes.
Pass three: the control layer
The final pass is the control layer: keypads, app, sensors and voice, each tested on the actual network with the devices the client will use. Anything that needs a firmware update is resolved before the walkthrough rather than after.
Key points
- Test each circuit from full output to its lowest stable level.
- Run scenes in the order a client would actually use them.
- Test controls on the client's own devices and network.
