by Ann Withanee — October 4, 2010—Acuity Brands, a market leader in energy efficient lighting and control solutions, announces the opening of a training center at its Sensor Switch facility in Wallingford, Connecticut.
The facility is designed to provide hands-on training for Sensor Switch customers and business partners and to showcase the newest Acuity Brands intelligent LED lighting and lighting controls solutions. Featuring an expansive sensor display and interactive training with occupancy sensors and daylight harvesting products, the new facility is also an exhibit for nLight, Acuity Brands’ award-winning network lighting control system by Sensor Switch.
Intelligent lighting controls represent a fast-growing portion of renovation and retro-fit upgrades as well as new construction, states the company. This training facility displays integrated lighting solutions as customers would buy them, and it emphasizes the savings potential associated with integrated intelligent LED lighting and lighting control solutions. Along with the latest in LED lighting and controls technology from Acuity Brands, the facility includes Lithonia Lighting RTLED luminaires with embedded nLight controls, new LED emergency lighting, Peerless indirect lighting luminaires and a display featuring the company’s ROAM outdoor lighting controls.
The Sensor Switch advanced occupancy sensor and daylight harvesting solutions offer unique and cost-effective ways to significantly reduce lighting related energy consumption. With energy savings up to 40 percent or more, an investment in intelligent sensors can yield an impressive return on investment.
Sensor Switch uses Passive Infrared (PIR) and patented Microphonics technologies to detect occupancy within a given space. When combined with the nLight lighting control system, users can control the lighting in an individual room, an entire building or across a campus. Easy to install and configure, nLight offers a cost-effective and elegant way to integrate lighting control in any space.
The company schedules regular two-day or customized training sessions on both its standard occupancy and daylight sensor lines as well as the nLight system.
