LIGHTING CONTROLS

What are Lighting Comtrols

WHAT ARE LIGHTING CONTROLS?

The use of devices and/or systems to govern the light output levels of luminaires to which they are connected. Elementary Technologies deploys different strategies in order to cover all application types, price ranges and energy-saving requirements. Strategies are as follows:

Lighting Controls - Manual Control

MANUAL: HUMAN INTERACTION

Switch On/Off

Lighting Controls - Dim luminaires

MANUAL: HUMAN INTERACTION

Dim Luminaires

Lighting Controls - Occupancy Control

AUTOMATIC: OCCUPANCY CONTROL

Occupancy control to turn luminaires on or off when areas are not occupied.​​ 

Lighting Controls - Daylight Harvest

AUTOMATIC:
DAYLIGHT HARVESTING

Dim Daylight harvest when sufficient ambient light is present and artificial light can be dimmed down to maintain the required light level.

Lighting Controls - Time Scheduling

AUTOMATIC:
SCHEDULING

Scheduling to turn luminaires off after trading hours or activate occupancy control after working hours.
