Unlike fluorescent loads, most LED products are inherently dimmable. However, the dimming performance can vary greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer, or even in different fixtures from the same manufacturer. Additionally, the fast-moving state of the LED lighting industry means there is a lot of risk that needs to be managed throughout a job. In response, […]
ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING Publishes Article on How Lighting Control is Changing Lighting
ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING recently published an article about how the LED revolution opens new possibilities for luminaires to serve other functions such as lighting control, surveillance and other services. Check it out here.
Lighting Controls Association Whitepapers Receive 1 Million Views
The Lighting Controls Association began publishing a monthly feature article on this website in 2002. Last month, LCA education hit a major milestone: These feature articles received 1 million views from site users. LCA is proud to serve the construction industry as the leading authority on lighting controls and a respected provider of lighting controls […]
Memoori Report: Longer Life-Cycles and Price Pressure Push LED Manufacturers Towards Smart Lighting Control
Guest post by Memoori For LEDs, the push into the building lighting market is well under way, driven by improving energy efficiency of the technology and a longevity that is almost unmatched by competing lighting technologies. Memoori’s analysis indicates that market penetration expressed in terms of overall revenue generation of lighting in buildings grew to […]
The Next LED Revolution is Control
With efficacy and service life steadily increasing and costs declining by about 18 percent each year (Memoori, 2014), the LED revolution continues to develop at a rapid pace. LED’s inherent compatibility with digital control, aided by other trends, is setting the stage for the next LED revolution: smart lighting control. Many LED products are sold […]
LED Adoption Depends on Advanced Controls
Lutron’s Dr. Pekka Hakkarainen recently wrote an article for LEDs MAGAZINE that makes the case that further LED adoption depends on advanced lighting controls. Check it out here.
The Smartest Lighting Control Systems Consider People First
Guest post by Brent Protzman, PhD, CEM, LEED GA, LC Brent Protzman is the Manager of Energy Information & Analytics at Lutron Electronics. Today, smart building technology is changing the way we think about lighting control and building integration. Manufacturers can increasingly deliver components that maximize energy-efficiency and integrate with other building systems to provide […]
ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2010 or Equivalent Adopted in 11 States
ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2010, IECC 2012 or an equivalent commercial building energy code has been adopted in 11 states, according to EnergyCodes.gov, the energy codes website produced by the Department of Energy. A DOE ruling required all states to certify they had an energy code in place at least as stringent as ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2010 by October of […]
Lighting Control and Demand Response
Average commercial building energy costs are based primarily on two components: energy and demand. Energy is recorded kWh consumption. Demand (kW) is based on the maximum level of power demanded by the building. While project proposals are often based on a reduction in energy costs, in some regions of the country where power production is […]
White Light Color Tuning Offers a New Dimension of Lighting Control
Light is comprised of wavelengths that the human eye interprets as colors. For an object to be perceived a certain color, that color must be present both in the light striking an object and the object reflecting the light towards the observer’s eye. Because of this, the choice of lamp for white-light general lighting can […]
