LLLC stands for Luminaire Level Lighting Controls. LLLCs are a trend in commercial lighting that can improve occupant comfort and space utilization. Specifically, LLLCs combine LEDs, controls, connectivity, and data to create a flexible lighting system. Often built into LLLCs are controls strategies such as occupancy sensing, daylight harvesting, continuous dimming, and more. LLLCs are the fastest-growing controls option in indoor lighting as a whole. And they’re tracking in the commercial market segment, especially for mid- to small-size buildings.
Factory lamps and industrial lights are unique forms of commercial lighting. These elements provide an enhanced illumination profile that focuses on manufacturing, sorting, and picking functions. Industrial illumination is typically seen in factories and warehouses, but it could be appropriate in other settings.

Traditionally, lighting design could be a tedious process, often involving physical mockups, time-consuming calculations, and static renderings using multiple software tools. With advancing technology, these traditional methods are giving way to more sophisticated tools that enhance precision, speed, and visualization. On the downside, many of the new tools are not particularly intuitive and the learning curve can be high. Light ARchitect is a notable exception. Light ARchitect is the multiple award-winning lighting simulation app developed by Cooper Lighting Solutions. Using real-time surveying capabilities, instant photometric calculations, and augmented reality (AR) visualization, Light ARchitect eliminates the guesswork from lighting design and fosters a more efficient and collaborative process involving all stakeholders and resulting in expedited decision-making throughout the project.

Most indoor spaces can benefit from the application of different types of light. This benefit is valid for commercial and residential applications. There are three types of lighting systems: ambient (general) lighting, task (focused) lighting, and accent (attention) lighting. The key components of layered lighting design are ambient, task, and accent lighting. They create a balanced, functional, and aesthetically pleasing space when used together.
