Key features and benefits
-
Lifecycle value
Wireless solutions, retrofit kits, and pre-programming streamlines installation and reduces costs. A recent study also found that an LLLC 1:1 retrofit provided similar energy and light quality performance at roughly one-third of the cost of a full lighting redesign.
-
Utility support
Northwest utilities typically offer financial incentives to reduce the upfront cost of LLLC for both new construction and retrofit projects. Your local utility can guide you through their programs and connect you with lighting specialists.
-
Energy savings
LLLC can save up to 75% in energy usage compared to standard LED fixtures thanks to integrated sensors and advanced control methods. Together they provide maximum energy savings that compound over the life of the system, making it a smart investment.
-
Future-proof and secure
Rather than becoming obsolete as technology advances, LLLC systems are incredibly adaptable. With the touch of an app, your installers and facilities operators can quickly adjust and optimize your lighting, as well as manage new software features and patch cyber vulnerabilities.
-
System integration
Many LLLC systems offer HVAC integration, remote diagnostics, and energy optimization and can extend the capabilities of your building management systems. With new applications such as air purification, asset tracking, and space utilization becoming more common, LLLC systems help provide the backbone of smart buildings.
