AK Electrics has been a Rako installer for many years, and it remains our preferred lighting control system due to its flexibility, reliability, and ease of use.

With Rako systems they can be wired, wireless, or hybrid, therefore giving us complete flexibility when designing or installing a lighting control solution—whether for a new build, refurbishment, or retrofit project.

Rako is a UK-based manufacturer offering an extensive range of high-quality lighting controls suitable for almost any application. In addition they provide excellent technical support and next-day delivery on products and spares. With a long-standing presence in the industry, Rako has a proven track record for performance and reliability.

Intelligent Control & Automation

Whether wired, wireless, or hybrid, Rako systems allow us to automate:

Lighting
Blinds and shutters
Canopies and awnings
Heaters and other switched or dimmable loads

In conclusion, if it can be switched or dimmed, it can be controlled.

Automation can be triggered by movement sensors, time schedules, or light levels—such as turning lights on or closing blinds at dusk and switching off again at dawn.

Schedules & Holiday Modes

Scheduled events and holiday modes are ideal for security and peace of mind, helping to make your property appear occupied when you’re away.

Holiday modes can be:

Randomised for realism
Automatically recorded from your day-to-day usage

Simple App Control

The free Rako app allows customers to:

Create, edit, and save lighting scenes
Add or amend schedules and events
Set up and manage holiday modes

To sum up, this gives the customer full control, without needing to call an engineer or programmer for small changes.

The app works on iPhone, Android phones, tablets, and iPads.

However, if running cables isn’t possible—or you want to add additional keypads or devices—Rako’s wireless technology makes system expansion quick and straightforward, even on existing wired installations.
