Strategies for Commercial Lighting Controls
Lighting controls automate brightness levels, ensuring the right amount of light is sent where it’s needed. The controls can also turn lights off and on, depending on the room’s occupancy. With the right lighting control system, you can easily implement energy and cost-saving strategies.
- Wireless lighting controls can automatically turn lights on and off at preset times. These scheduling lighting controls can also be set to dim the lights.
- Occupancy sensors only turn the lights on when the space is occupied. The sensors will also turn the lights off when the room is empty.
- Daylight harvesting controls use photosensors to track the amount of natural light in the room reducing brightness levels to help conserve energy.
- Demand response controls work with your utility provider to help reduce energy usage during peak hours. The controls automatically work to reduce energy usage, saving businesses money on their utility bills.
Common Uses of Wireless Lighting Control Systems
So, what type of commercial buildings use wireless lighting control systems? Let’s take a look at a few of the industries that are embracing this advanced technology.
- Offices and retail spaces can save money by reducing their energy consumption. Some wireless lighting systems are even controllable by a convenient phone app.
