DLC Networked Lighting Controls Technical Requirements Version 2.0
June 14, 2017
New technical requirements for Interior and Exterior Networked Lighting Control (NLC) systems associated with commercial and industrial buildings, roadways, and exterior environments are here. NLC systems are defined for the purposes of these requirements as the combination of sensors, network interfaces, and controllers that effect lighting changes to luminaires, but does not include the luminaires themselves. Any luminaire-specific control requirements are addressed separately by the DLC’s Solid-State Lighting Technical Requirements and Qualified Products List.
Please note that NLCs intended for DC (Direct Current) and PoE (Power over Ethernet) luminaires are excluded from the requirements while a corresponding Policy to qualify DC and PoE luminaires for DLC’s SSL QPL is developed. A future revision of this Technical Requirements document will be modified to accept DC and PoE NLCs in conjunction with the SSL Luminaire DC and PoE Policy.
