Creating lighting scenes

Scenes are predefined lighting settings in which luminaires have specific brightness levels and sometimes a colour value. A scene may contain individual levels for different luminaires. e.g. some luminaires can be switched off and the lighting intensity of other luminaires can be reduced (typically used in classrooms). In this article, you will learn how to configure scenes using the E2D UI.
