The Illuminating Engineering Society’s TM-23-11 publication serves as a technical resource for lighting specifiers integrating control into their projects, providing detailed information about lighting control protocols. Get it here.
The Battle for Control of Lighting Controls
Navigant Research recently published a blog post about how the advent of LED lighting and lower-cost control technology is changing the lighting controls industry, causing three types of companies to compete for dominance. The article begins: “With the rise of LED lighting and inexpensive controls technologies, the market for networked lighting controls is expected to […]
ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR Publishes Feature on Wireless Lighting Control
ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR recently published a feature article about wireless radio-frequency (RF) lighting control written by Craig DiLouie, LC. “This approach promises a number of benefits compared with hardwired solutions. First is flexibility; devices can be placed where needed, installed faster and moved more easily. Electrical planning may be shortened, and irregular applications can be better […]
Occupancy Sensors Boost Savings at Department of Labor Parking Garage
Republication of Postings from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solid-State Lighting Program by Jim Brodrick, U.S. Department of Energy The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently released a GATEWAY report on a parking-garage demonstration conducted at U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) headquarters in Washington, DC, which serves as a classic illustration of the savings […]
Survey: Nearly Half of Lighting Retrofit Projects Use Automatic Lighting Controls
A survey conducted by manufacturer Precision-Paragon found respondents reporting they include some type of automatic lighting control in 48% of their lighting retrofit projects. Greentech has the story here.

Daylight Harvesting: Comparing Modeled to Measured Savings
In a recent study, the Energy Center of Wisconsin monitored several daylighting systems in Minnesota and Wisconsin and analyzed the results of commissioning those systems. The researchers concluded: “Energy modeling, with its assumption of ideal control, appears to have the potential of being an accurate predictive tool for highly effective (>75%) control systems. However, the […]
LBNL Publishes Study of Responsive Lighting Systems
In September 2012, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory published, Responsive Lighting Solutions for the General Services Administration (GSA). The report provides insight into the viability of highly responsive lighting control systems. It reports the results of installing advanced lighting controls in five Federal buildings. The existing lighting in these buildings was upgraded. A number of […]
ELECTRONIC HOUSE Analyzes Pros and Cons of 13 Smart LED Lamps
Intelligent, controllable LED lamps offer a new paradigm for home lighting control. Julie Jacobson, editor of ELECTRONIC HOUSE, analyzes the pros and cons of 13 products implementing WiFi/Internet of Things, 6LoWPAN, ZigBee, Z-Wave and Bluetooth. Read it here.
Study Finds Commissioning of Daylight Harvesting Control Systems Critical to Success
Daylight harvesting control, or the practice of using light sensors to automatically reduce electric light in a space when sufficient daylight is present, has been demonstrated to produce significant energy cost savings in buildings. As a proven energy-saving strategy, it has been implemented into many sustainable building projects. It was also incorporated into ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2010 […]
