Cost savings and a faster ROI is the top reason you should add lighting controls to your retrofit package. If you’ve decided to move forward with a lighting retrofit, adding lighting controls at a fraction of the cost of the retrofit should be considered. Adding lighting controls at a later date is more expensive and will cost you money every time the light should be off or dimmed.
Lighting controls, which include a variety of sensors, aren’t just about under-used spaces. You may also want to consider them if you have areas that are used only at specific times of day, you need responsive, dimming lights, you want to take advantage of daylight harvesting to lower your energy bills, or you want to dim your lights with a smartphone app.
