Advantages of Lighting Controls
- Lighting controls and daylighting are used in lighting design projects to implement an energy-efficient lighting system
- Reduces or eliminates reliance on occupants or employees to turn lights off; lighting controls do that automatically withtimers, sensors or programming logic
- Life of lamps and ballasts are extended due to reduced run-time which reduces time spent on maintenance and lowers overall maintenance expense
- Reduces the number of hours per year that the lights are on
- Improves employee satisfaction and productivity by providing appropriate lighting levels, minimizing glare and balancing surface brightness
- Wireless lighting controls reduce installation costs and increase flexibility in areas where switches and sensors can be placed
- Lighting controls offer flexibility in lighting a specific office, a group of lights, a section of a floor or a whole floor
- Dimmers can provide lighting flexibility in multi-use rooms or rooms in which projectors are used
- Exterior motion detectors and interior occupancy sensors can turn lights on when people are present
