This report from Lutron published in July 2020 discusses the merits of wireless lighting control, consisting of no communication wires, fewer power wires and less conduit. Wireless lighting control makes it possible for cost and complexity to be reduced, while design/ installation flexibility and scalability are enhanced. Another significant feature of wireless systems is that the keypads, sensors, and remotes are often battery powered, further eliminating cost and complexity while expanding the opportunity for installing flexible control wherever it is needed in the space. The report outlines key considerations to be on the lookout for when specifying a lighting control solution.
Key words: light/lighting controls, system monitoring equipment
