The Future of Efficient Lighting: Luminaire Level Lighting Controls
Combining LEDs with integrated controls and sensors within each fixture, Luminaire Level Lighting Controls (LLLC) offer commercial buildings an integrated solution that will improve building performance and occupant satisfaction, deliver maximum energy savings, and enable long-term flexibility with tenants and space usage.
LLLC Benefits
- Energy Cost and Savings: LLLCs use 25 to 75 percent less energy than non-controlled fixtures. And with less wiring and simple, out-of-the box set-up LLLCs enable even greater time and labor cost savings.
- Long-Term Flexibility: Adaptable for changes in space usage, fixtures with LLLCs reduce the cost of change-over to new tenants. Simply re-group to the new lighting layout and adjust settings for new tenants.
- More than Energy Savings: Many LLLC systems enable value benefits beyond just energy savings, including asset tracking, space utilization, enhanced security and more.
How do I know if a system is considered Luminaire Level Lighting Controls?
All LLLC systems have the following core capabilities:
- Occupancy sensing
- Daylight harvesting
- Continuous dimming
- High-end trim/task tuning
- Controls persistence
Design Lights Consortium (DLC) maintains a Qualified Product List (QPL) for Networked Lighting Controls that includes a filterable subset for Interior Lighting and LLLC systems. New qualified products are frequently added to this list; check the QPL regularly for the most up-to-date information on products that are considered LLLC systems.
