Advanced Control for Outdoor Lighting

09/22/2016 by Craig DiLouie 4 Comments

Traditionally, outdoor lighting was automatically turned ON and OFF at the circuit level by an astronomical time switch or photosensor. Energy codes are now promoting power reduction during dusk-to-dawn lighting operation. Coupled with advances in wireless communication and intelligent control, the result is dramatic changes in how outdoor lighting is controlled. New construction Twenty-four states […]

Wireless Lighting Control Comes of Age

10/27/2015 by Craig DiLouie 1 Comment

Typical automatic lighting control applications involve an input device, such as a photosensor, interacting with a power controller, such as a switch. In some cases, these components may be integrated into the same device, as in the case of a wall-box occupancy sensor. In other cases, the components are installed separately, as in the case […]

Green Proving Ground Program Studies Advanced Wireless Lighting Controls

08/20/2015 by Craig DiLouie 2 Comments

A traditional lighting control design deploys manual switches and simple controls such as load scheduling to control large zones of luminaires. Even when occupancy sensors are installed, these devices are typically assigned to large control zones. Increasingly stringent commercial building energy codes have made control zoning more granular. Emerging control strategies such as daylight harvesting […]

Market Research Suggests High Degree of Confidence with LED Lighting and Controls

11/19/2014 by Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

Given current adoption of commercial building energy codes, conventional wisdom indicates that LED lighting is frequently specified with automatic lighting controls. However, there is little public data available concerning market penetration of LED lighting, how often it is specified as controllable and with lighting controls, owner preferences, and how satisfied specifiers and installers are with […]

Outdoor Lighting Controls: The State of the Art

08/25/2014 by Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

Outdoor lighting controls is undergoing a mini-revolution that offers new design and selling opportunities while challenging electrical professionals to stay on top of technological change. Traditionally, outdoor lighting control was relatively simple. A typical scheme featured a controller providing automatic ON/OFF based on time of day (using an astronomical time switch) or daylight (photosensor). The […]

Visible Light Communication

07/23/2014 by Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

Visible light communication (VLC) is a wireless method that uses light emitted by LEDs to deliver networked, mobile, high-speed communication similar to Wi-Fi, leading to the term Li-Fi. It can be used as standalone solution or in a supplementary role to radio-frequency (RF) or cellular network communication. The basis of the technology, conceived by Professor […]
