Night light circuit controls help you save energy without sacrificing security during overnight hours. Sometimes, you
only need minimal lighting to mitigate any particular security concerns. Here, 3 of 4 heads on each pole are controlled
to go off after tenants’ closing hours. Many control options are available to suit all kinds of closing and emergency
lighting scenarios...
Dynamic Outdoor Lighting Sounds Good. But What Is It?
Dynamic outdoor lighting operates under the same principles as dimming and controlling lighting in interior applications
with occupancy and⁄or vacancy sensors and dimmers. The idea is to dim the lights down when there isn’t much
traffic or pedestrian use to save energy and limit light pollution.
Wireless technology makes occupancy (lights come on when you enter the room) and vacancy (lights go off when you leave the
room) sensors and dimmers ideal for interior use in office buildings, hotels and retail spaces.
Some municipalities are experimenting with this technology for street lighting. There are still many issues for commercial
property owners to consider before applying this technology to parking lots, signs and security lighting. Safety,
cost-effectiveness and lamp life for dynamic lighting’s application outdoors are all serious issues for commercial
properties.
