LED Lighting Controls

Lighting Control Strategies

The days of people having to wander around buildings to shut off unused lights are coming to an end, now that more LED lighting is becoming interconnected over vast distances with intelligent lighting controls. When lighting controls are effectively paired with LED lighting, they can give you the strategies you are looking for to provide an effective ROI. [table id=53 /]

Code Compliance

Lighting control systems, when paired with XtraLight LED lighting, can help properties meet even the most stringent energy codes in the country. Why are energy codes important? Energy codes are minimum requirements for energy-efficient design and construction that are focused on global benefits such as reducing overall energy consumption, increasing cost savings and reducing harmful effects on the environment. Learning to incorporate lighting controls into the lighting design can meet technical requirements, deliver incentives back to the end user and provide quality lighting for a person's well-being.

Here are a few codes, regulations and designations that have become more relevant across the United States:

Lighting Control Partners

XtraLight is partnered with trusted lighting controls platforms to help offer a portfolio of options that can solve the most difficult layout challenges and applications. Because XtraLight LED fixtures are “controls agnostic”, any brand of controls can be specified at the time of the order and integrated during the manufacturing process to compliment your lighting application. Read more about some of our lighting controls partners below:

The Wattstopper product line offers the most comprehensive line of simple, scalable and flexible energy efficient lighting controls and solutions for commercial applications. These controls are easily installed by XtraLight at the factory when manufacturing LED products. Not only will they save customers energy and meet green initiatives, they comply with energy codes across the board.

Indoor Occupancy Sensors

The High Bay Passive Infrared (PIR) Occupancy Sensors provide automatic control of individual LED lighting fixtures in warehouses and other indoor high and low bay spaces. The lens is engineered to provide reliable coverage from a wide range of mounting heights (15’ to 40’), and coverage can be masked for aisleway applications. A hold-off daylighting feature keeps lighting off when the ambient light level is above the selected threshold. Time delay and light level settings can be adjusted via function-specific trimpots. All control parameters are adjustable via a wireless configuration tool capable of storing and transmitting sensor profiles.

Outdoor Photo/Motion Sensors

The photo/motion sensor mounts in an outdoor lighting fixture and provides multi-level control based on motion and/or daylight contribution. It controls 0-10 VDC LED drivers and with a specific lens, is rated for wet and cold locations. All control parameters are adjustable via a wireless configuration tool capable of storing and transmitting sensor profiles.

Enlighted offers the most advanced lighting control system on the market. Enlighted's sensors create dense networks, providing information about what's happening in spaces at any point in time. Intelligence and connectivity can enable an entirely new set of monitoring, control, optimization and autonomy. Thanks to its wireless sensor platform, the technology is digital and scalable for unlocking the IoT for commercial real estate. Enlighted partners with XtraLight to offer its customers integrated luminaire solutions for the deployment of a connected lighting strategy.

Digital Smart Sensors

At the heart of Enlighted's IoT solution sits the patented, software-defined smart sensor that collects and monitors real time occupancy, light levels, temperatures and energy usage. These sensors can distinguish between people and objects, customize controls for specific tasks, leverage ambient light levels and much more. Enlighted sensors are deployed with LED lighting, one sensor per light fixture, with a typical coverage area of 100 sq. ft. per sensor. Also equipped with Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) technology, the sensor can collect data from other Bluetooth-enabled devices. Overall, this makes for a very granular and rich data collection. Because the sensors are attached to the lighting, they are always powered and ubiquitous throughout the building.
