In this article published at DataCenterDynamics.com, Ton van de Wiel, Global Segment Manager, Intelligent Buildings for Signify, makes a case for DC-powered lighting in data centers, including lighting connected in a distributor sensor network.

For years, commercial lighting rebates followed a simple formula: upgrade to LED, reduce energy use, and collect an incentive. That approach still works, but it’s no longer the full story, says rebate fulfillment firm BriteSwitch. As more markets reach LED saturation, utilities are shifting their focus toward deeper energy savings with lighting controls.

ASHRAE and the IES recently published ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2025, Energy Efficiency Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings. What’s new in this key energy standard?

Revitalizing a whisky distillery in Jackson Square, the team aimed to transform the historic building into a modern office that embraced the concept of coffee-by-day and whiskey-by-night. The duality of the high-performing workplace combined with a vibrant social hub called for unique lighting and controls solutions within a compact 3,900 sq.ft. space.

“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.”

ETC recently announced the new Response DALI Gateway MK2, a DALI-2 certified device developed to meet the growing demand for DALI applications throughout North America and beyond. The gateway features a user-friendly, intuitive web interface enabling quick setup and effortless status management of fixtures or devices.

ETC and Pharos Unveil Pharos Express

ETC and Pharos recently announced Pharos Express, a DMX and DALI control system for dynamic architectural lighting and the new name for Pharos Expert.

Synapse Wireless, a leading provider of wireless lighting control solutions, recently announced the launch of the SNV-CS-10 Combo Sensor Controller. Designed for both indoor and outdoor applications, this contractor-ready device integrates wireless communication, dimming, occupancy sensing, daylight response, and scheduling into a single, cost-effective unit.

Legrand’s Wattstopper DLM Graphic Switch Touchscreen delivers simplicity and sophistication to spaces with the LMGS-150—a sleek, durable, 5.7” high resolution color touch screen with edge-to-edge glass face.

Leviton recently announced the launch of the VerifEye® Series 2500 Submeter, a versatile energy monitoring solution engineered to support single-, two- and three-phase applications with a single model.

ETC’s Paradigm is powerful enough to run the largest and most complex lighting systems, flexible enough to adapt with evolving demands, and efficient enough to save energy and money on small projects.

The commercial lighting rebate outlook is strong for 2026, with widely available rebates covering all popular categories of LED lighting and lighting controls, including networked lighting controls.

Designed for flexibility and ease of use, Athena offers tailored lighting experiences, energy efficiency, and intuitive system control—delivering exceptional experiences and efficient building management across commercial and hospitality spaces.

This year’s DesignLights Consortium Summit – “Next Gen Lighting: Controls, Integration and the Environment” – will convene October 26-27, 2026 in Los Angeles.

SENSORWORX has launched SENSORWORX Digital, a suite of products that includes load controllers, occupancy sensors, photocells, wall switches, and dimmers.
