And while energy efficient light emitting diodes (LEDs) are transforming the industry, intelligent lighting control is the quiet revolution in lighting. The technology of luminaire-based controls pairs lighting sensors and a controllable driver with LED luminaires. They "communicate" with each other using low-voltage wiring or radio frequency (Wi-Fi). Most of these systems are room-based, but the next step up is building or campus-wide centralized control systems. Our contractors can offer a variety of smart lighting solutions that can save you money over the long term.
