Luminaire Level Lighting Controls:

What Are They and

How Are They Different?

The Next Generation of Lighting

Controls Are Here

• An LED lighting system consisting

of one or more luminaires

• With integrated occupancy and

daylight sensors in each luminaire

and embedded lighting control

logic and wireless networking

capabilities

Two Pathways

STANDARD ADVANCED

Standard LLLCs

Required in all LLLC systems:

✓ Occupancy sensing

✓ Daylight harvesting

✓ Continuous dimming

✓ High-end trim/

Task Tuning

✓ Controls persistence

Advanced LLLCs

More advanced systems allow for:

✓ Asset tracking

✓ Optimized space usage

✓ Building integration

(HVAC, CO2, security)

✓ Demand response

✓ Plug load

The Benefits

The Benefits

• The 3-30-300 Rule

• Non-Energy Benefits

• Energy Savings

• Occupant Comfort &

Productivity

• Simplified Installation

• Ease in Programming

• Traditional vs. Wireless

• Maximized Flexibility

Energy, water, waste and use of resources including lighting,

heating and cooling, plug loads and server rooms, green purchasing,

use of paper, recycling programs, commuting, green tenant programs.

The 3 • 30 • 300 Rule

$3

Space use efficiency and layout that reflect workflows and offer an

optimum environment for individual tasks, employee interaction,

team building, operations and customer service.

Employee Wellness and Productivity including acoustic and visual

comfort, thermal and indoor air quality, amenities and measures that

help improve employees’ health, comfort and work-life balance.

Non-Energy Benefits

• Operation & maintenance time/cost savings

• Safety/emergency capabilities

• Easier spatial reconfiguration

Operations and Maintenance

Maintenance benefits:

• Less parts to maintain (no lamps to replace)

• Possible to increase time between maintenance

schedule

Things to keep in mind for better operations:

• Regularly cleaning light-reflecting surfaces and

fixture lenses

• Properly disposing LED lamps and fixtures.

• Periodically reviewing occupancy schedules to ensure

the LLLC system is aligned with actual occupied hours

Energy Savings

• Estimates show 25 to 75% savings

compared to non-controlled fixtures

– Depending on space type and

control strategies used

– Office buildings seeing 50% savings,

warehouses seeing 75% savings

Occupant Comfort and Productivity

• Adjust lighting and color temperatures for occupant

comfort

• Optimize productivity through task tuning

• Can provide demand driven heating and cooling

Simplified Installation

• Pre-programmed for straightforward

setup out of the box

• Same basic install process as

non-controlled fixtures

• Less wiring

– No additional 0-10v wiring

– No extra sensors to install

Ease in Programming

• Control strategies pre-set at factory

• Wireless features and programming

tools (apps or remote controls) ease

start-up and programming

Traditional vs. Wireless

Traditional Wireless

Control based on wired zone Granularity of control down to individual fixture

Occupant customized control limited to fixed

zoneOccupant customized personal control

Limited ability for sharing of dataData sharing is simplified due to system

design

Future changes require expensive rewiring

and reconfiguration

Future changes may only require

reprogramming (futureproofing)

Wireless Connectivity

TECHNOLOGY

BLUETOOTHIEEE

802.15.4

Maximized Flexibility

• Granularity of control down to individual fixture

• Future-proofing: adaptable space usage

• Tap into Internet of Things (IoT)

Energy Code Compliance

• Help ensure energy code compliance

– Washington state new-

construction code has an

exception that requires controls

Cost Considerations

• Fixtures can cost more but the cost of installation should

make up for that

– Less labor to install the sensors,

less wiring between fixtures

– Less time for startup and programming

• Check with your utility to see if incentives are available

Utility Incentives

Regional:• Seattle City Light $40-$100 per

fixture

• Puget Sound Energy $75 per fixture

• Tacoma Power $40-$100 per fixture

• Idaho Power $0.22/kWh saved (vs. $0.15/kWh with no controls)

• Pacific Power (WA) $0.16/kWh (vs. $0.12/kWh with no controls)

National:

• Focus on Energy (Wisconsin) $0.25/ft2 (designed space) – lower lumen fixtures/higher fixture density applications

• National Grid $25 per fixture

SuccessCase Studies

Enlighted in Seattle Office Building

Cree in Hospitals Nationwide

• McLaren Heath replaced every

exterior and interior light across 11

hospitals with 25K LEDs and 12K

SmartCast® fixtures

• Reaping $1.6M annually with 3.7

year payback

• $1.25M in energy cost savings

alone

When to ConsiderLLLCs

When to Consider

• Advances in technology mean longer

product lifespans

• Ensure your system is going to be

relevant in 5-10 years

• More cost-effective to install controls

when you upgrade lighting

LLLCs and Hospitals

Create a more

healing environment

with higher-quality

lighting that adapts to

patient needs

Reduce unnecessary

purchases and wasted

labor by enabling smarter

asset tracking for medical

equipment, available in

many LLLC systems

Increase patient

satisfaction rates and

staff happiness and

productivity by optimizing

light temperature and

intensity

LLLCs and Schools

Enhance learning

conditions with

lighting that improves

visibility and adapts to

student needs

Easily create the ideal

lighting environment at

any time of day, with

energizing cool light in the

morning and calming warm

light later

Increase safety,

security and efficiency

by enabling real-time

tracking of building

assets with many LLLC

systems

LLLCs and Office Buildings

Increase employee

satisfaction rates

and productivity by

optimizing lighting for

individual tenant

needs.

Tenant changeover is cost

effective and easy with the

ability to regroup lighting and

adjust settings at the touch of

a button – eliminating the

need to rewire when new

occupants move in.

Increase safety, security

and efficiency by discovering

your building’s most and

least utilized spaces and

enabling real-time tracking of

building assets with many

LLLC systems.
