Get the Latest on Lighting

July 9, 2018 By SBC

Join Seattle 2030 and BetterBricks at the Smart Buildings Center for a networking breakfast to learn about the latest in lighting technology. Luminaire level lighting controls (LLLCs) combine LEDs, controls, connectivity and data for a flexible lighting product that can improve occupant comfort and space utilization and save substantially on energy use. LLLCs are distinct from other lighting control systems because they have sensors and controls embedded within individual fixtures. LLLCs can be controlled remotely and allow users to adjust the configuration of the lighting without replacing the fixtures.

This presentation provides an introduction to luminaire level lighting controls, including case studies from buildings that have installed LLLCs, and details on other efficient lighting options.

Date and Time

Thu, July 26, 2018

7:30 AM – 9:00 AM PDT
