NEMA Publishes Lighting Control User Interface Technical Report

04/16/2025 by Lighting Controls Association Leave a Comment

The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) recently published C137 TR 1-2024, Lighting Control User Interface Technical Report.

The 15-page technical report recommends user interface elements for lighting controls utilized by end-users and occupants. It is applicable to hardware controls, software applications, personal control apps, displays, and documentation.

The report provides recommendations for designing user interfaces that are intuitive and effective for end-users interacting with lighting control systems. It addresses visual elements (terms, symbols, and colors), physical action mappings, automatic elements (indication and actuation), and tactile elements (identification and actuation). It does not address ergonomic, or safety considerations associated with the deployment of user lighting control interface elements.
