Lighting Control & Smart Lighting
Smart Lighting
Smart Lighting is connected lighting that can be controlled, scheduled, dimmed, grouped, or automated from apps, keypads, sensors, or scenes.
Lighting Scene
Lighting Scene is a preset lighting look that sets multiple fixtures or zones to selected brightness levels and sometimes colors.
Dimmer
Dimmer is a lighting control that raises or lowers brightness instead of simply turning a light fully on or off.
Keypad Dimmer
Keypad Dimmer is a wall device that combines dimming control with programmable scene or zone buttons.
Centralized Lighting Panel
Centralized Lighting Panel is an equipment panel that houses lighting control modules so room switches can be simplified into keypads or scene controls.
Tunable White
Tunable White is lighting that can shift between warmer and cooler shades of white to support mood, tasks, or time-of-day preferences.
Circadian Lighting
Circadian Lighting is lighting design that changes intensity or color temperature over the day to better align with natural light patterns.
Color Temperature
Color Temperature is the warmth or coolness of white light, measured in Kelvin, that affects how a room feels and how colors appear.
Daylight Sensor
Daylight Sensor is a sensor that measures available natural light so electric lighting or shades can adjust automatically.
Occupancy Sensor
Occupancy Sensor is a sensor that detects presence or movement and can automatically trigger lighting or energy-saving actions.
Astronomical Clock
Astronomical Clock is a scheduling feature that uses sunrise and sunset times rather than a fixed clock time.
0-10V Dimming
0-10V Dimming is a commercial and architectural dimming method that uses a low-voltage control signal to adjust compatible fixtures or drivers.
DMX Lighting
DMX Lighting is a digital control protocol often used for color-changing, theatrical, landscape, architectural, or specialty lighting.
Load Type
Load Type is the electrical category of a lighting load, such as LED, incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, electronic low-voltage, or fluorescent.
