Lighting Control
Lighting controls are systems and devices that manage the delivery of the correct amount and spectrum of light when it is needed. At the most basic level,
lighting controls act on inputs which may be manual or automatic (
occupancy detection,
ambient light level sensing or instructions from a building management system). No longer are lighting controls an extra or an afterthought! A modern lighting system that can't be adjusted is inherently devoid of adaptability and flexibility. Technology advances are converging today to create lighting control solutions that make lighting context-sensitive. LED technology pushes the boundaries of lighting control. The controllability of LEDs overcomes many of the existing barriers to utilizing digital lighting controls. The programmable nature of a microcontroller-based LED drivers enables advanced dimming and scheduling functions. The
Internet of Things (IoT) technology unifies everything in our world, bringing
smart lighting to the next level. Together, intelligent LED lighting, digital control systems and IP-based communication can unlock the energy savings potential, transform environments, and create spectacle.
