LIGHTING CONTROLS
A lighting control system is an intelligent network based lighting control solution that incorporates communication between various system inputs and outputs related to lighting control with the use of one or more central computing devices. Lighting control systems are widely used on both indoor and outdoor lighting of commercial, industrial, and residential spaces. Lighting control systems serve to provide the right amount of light where and when it is needed.
Lighting control systems are employed to maximize the energy savings from the lighting system, satisfy building codes, or comply with green building and energy conservation programs. Lighting control systems are often referred to under the term Smart Lighting.

Daylight harvesting
Energy management techniques that reduces overhead lighting use by: Utilizing the ambient (natural & artificial) light present in a space. Dimming or switching OFF lighting when sufficient ambient light is present or when the space is unoccupied.
Advantages
The major advantage of a lighting control system over stand-alone lighting controls or conventional manual switching is the ability to control individual lights or groups of lights from a single user interface device. This ability to control multiple light sources from a user device allows complex lighting scenes to be created. A room may have multiple scenes pre-set, each one created for different activities in the room. A major benefit of lighting control systems is reduced energy consumption. Longer lamp life is also gained when dimming and switching off lights when not in use. Wireless lighting control systems provide additional benefits including reduced installation costs and increased flexibility over where switches and sensors may be placed.
(PIR sensors and Microwave sensors)
Presence Detectors
Lighting design can have many different purposes. Ideally, these purposes are determined by the client and the designer in collaboration and cover both outcomes and cost.
Detectors will switch on lighting automatically when a person enters the room, and switches off lighting automatically when no movement is detected.
Upon entering the room the person switches on the light as normal, but on leaving the detector switches off the lighting automatically. Lights can also be switched off manually.
