Survey Says: Lighting – The Work Contractors/Electricians Do

For an architect, a building is a work of art. But while that art looks great during the day, how do you enhance it to make it look great at night, so it’s not just a dark canvas?

Explore the efficiency benefits of connected network lighting control. Municipalities and the utilities that serve their residents are tasked with managing significant lighting-related costs for the installation, maintenance, and powering of streetlights and other infrastructure lighting. So, improving efficiencies in infrastructure lighting and operation may result in considerable savings. That’s where connected network lighting control comes in. The addition of network lighting controls allows for proactive management of lighting inventory and improved operation and maintenance of infrastructure lighting. Users have full view of system-level performance – including fault detection – right from their remote device. A CMS (Central Management System) dashboard lets users check, troubleshoot, and diagnose the operational status of every light fixture in the system, and it automatically provides fault detection and flags recommended maintenance which in turn streamlines workflow and ultimately results in fewer trips to the light pole.
Regressed lighting offers significant advantages in reducing glare and enhancing visual comfort. However, regressed lighting also presents some installation considerations, especially when dealing with obstructions above the ceiling. To define regressed lighting, one should look at how it differs from surface and recessed lighting. Surface downlights are fixtures that attach directly to the ceiling’s surface. As a result, the entire fixture is visible and protrudes outward. In contrast, recessed downlighting is a broad term covering any fixture that is installed into the ceiling and sits flush with or is integrated into the surface.
