“As commercial buildings transition into smart, connected environments, clients are increasingly demanding lighting control systems that are data-rich, reliable, and easily scalable. While digital protocols are the clear future, the North American market has often hesitated to move away from familiar 0-10V analog systems due to fears of proprietary vendor lock-in or overly complex programming. By adding the globally standardized DALI-2 protocol to the WaveLinx ecosystem, Cooper Lighting Solutions has eliminated these barriers.”

Cooper Lighting Solutions has announced WaveLinx DALI, which seamlessly integrates DALI-2 certified drivers and peripherals into the WaveLinx ecosystem.

This guest post by Cooper Lighting Solutions’ Martin Mercier applauds a new era in “hybrid” lighting control solutions that blend the best strengths of wired and wireless control.

In this extraordinary guest post, Cooper Lighting Solutions’ Martin Mercier describes the codes and options that make up emergency lighting and the role for lighting control systems, including wireless.

Based on an updated version of EE201: Daylight-responsive Lighting Control, a course in NEMA Academy, this article describes a process for designing and applying lighting control solutions that utilize daylight-responsive lighting controls.

Networked lighting control systems play a crucial role in optimizing lighting energy use, enhancing occupant comfort, and interacting with building automation systems (BAS). However, simply installing a lighting control system does not guarantee it will function as intended. This is where a startup comes into play.

Make sure you register to attend NYControlled, coming Tuesday, November 14, 2023 in New York City!

LEDucation and LightFair are right around the corner, so be sure to register soon for these major industry events, both of which are occurring in New York City this year.

The DALI Alliance recently extended DALI-2, which standardizes interoperability and control of LED drivers and sensors, with a version that more finely addresses the needs of the Internet of Things, which calls for individual device addressability, connectivity, and two-way data exchange.

Luminaire-level lighting controls (LLLC), also called embedded controls, are lighting control systems in which sensors and controllers are installed within luminaires to enable autonomous, individual luminaire control. By making each luminaire a control point, control is highly flexible, responsive, and therefore generally more energy-saving. Serving as a preview for an upcoming Education Express course, this article describes LLLC technology, system types, advantages and disadvantages, studies characterizing energy savings and cost, and what’s familiar and distinctive in regards to design and installation.
