In California, good lighting controls design has become a crucial part of any project’s success. Lighting systems has the most comprehensive offering of lighting controls in the Bay Area, and two full-time controls specialists to help you meet your energy efficiency goals. At the IES San Francisco Section seminar on emerging technologies January 19th, we exhibited a few of our innovative products, and they are presented here again for those that couldn’t make it:
Lumenergi NetLight Driver
Lumenergi’s breakthrough NetLight Driver intelligent dimming ballast enables maximum energy and cost savings through dimming and advanced lighting controls.
The NetLight Driver can operate in industry-standard DALI or low voltage 0-10VDC control modes and takes a wide-range of electrical inputs, ranging from 120V to 277V at 50 or 60 Hz. With only two product part numbers handling one to three T8, T5HO, or T5 lamps, the NetLight Driver’s flexibility simplifies design and compatibility and ensures that the project can be maintained at peak operating efficiency.
The NetLight Driver is a great way to get into sophisticated controls and monitoring at an inexpensive price point.
Schneider c-bus
The availability of low-cost, powerful microprocessors has created an opportunity for distributed intelligence systems that are more flexible and scalable than a traditional centralized relay system. The C-Bus Control System brings a proven lighting management system to the US from industry leader Schneider.
- Sophisticated styling: C-Bus brings a distinctly sophisticated look to lighting applications. Clean lines. Sleek glass. Every detail and surface of these keypads and touch screens are designed to complement contemporary commercial and residential environments.
- System simplicity: With its unique distributed control system, installation couldn’t be easier. You can place relays and dimmers in various locations and connect them directly to the network – eliminating the need to run cable back to a separate enclosure near centrally located processors.
- Simple cabling/any topology: Since the C-Bus system uses standard Cat-5 cabling, using any topology, there’s no special cable to order or keep in supply. So it’s much easier to address last-minute change orders or to complete a job without wondering if you have the right materials on hand.
- Fully-scalable solution: Whether you’re creating a lighting control system for a single room or a whole facility, Schnieder Electric lighting control offers scalable systems to fit your exact needs.
- C-Bus touch screens: Our unified wall-mounted panels allow you to control lighting systems and accessories with the touch of a finger. They’re compact yet powerful. Simple to operate yet highly flexible. A desktop model is available when wall space is limited or for added convenience.
Levnet RF
From Leviton, a series of self-powered wireless sensors, switches, and relays. No wires, no batteries, no limits.
- Place new switches and sensors anywhere – without the trouble and expense of wiring
- No batteries or external power required – save on materials, energy, and waste from battery manufacturing and disposal.
- Shorten electrical planning by hours.
- Reduce labor required for initial installation and ongoing maintenance
- Flexible, adaptable systems can be moved or expanded with ease after initial installation
- Avoid wall repairs in retrofit applications
- Eliminate switch legs, traveler wires, and other raw materials
- All LevNet RF™ devices are NAFTA/Buy America compliant
LevNet RF is a great choice for retrofits, or anywhere modern lighting controls are desired but wiring is inconvenient.
