0-10V Versus Digital: The Great Debate – Get a Grip on Lighting

EIN Get a Grip 400

July 27, 2022

Moderated by Michael Colligan, this episode of Get a Grip on Lighting pits two lighting thinkers in a spirited debate over whether 0-10V or digital lighting control has the edge in projects subject to value engineering.

The debaters are C. Webster Marsh of Penumbra Controls and George Filtsos of EcoGrid Technologies. Marsh brings 14 years of applied experience with lighting and controls, and he enjoys using his wealth of knowledge in the architectural lighting design industry. Filtsos started EcoGrid Technologies in 2019, and they have already helped companies save well over 14 million kWh of consumption. “What sets us apart in a big way is the advanced wireless controls,” he says, “giving clients the best ROIs in the business.”
