Lighting Controls

Lighting controls are electrically-controlled devices including ballasts, switches and relays, dimmers, occupancy and motion sensors, photo sensors, and other automatic systems. Lighting controls and systems can reduce electric load demand, produce special effects for performances, and set the mood in home theaters, stores, restaurants, and museums. Lighting controls can be used manually by the occupants of a building to adjust the lighting of their surroundings, or automatically through programmable or intelligent devices, such as photo sensors and timers. Energy-efficient industrial lighting control systems integrate lighting controls with other building controls, such as thermostats or timers that initiate heating or cooling systems.
