Legrand announces Wattstopper Digital Lighting Management Color Control, integration with Lumenetix araya5

by Brianna Crandall — April 1, 2016—Legrand North America, a global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructures, just introduced the Wattstopper Digital Lighting Management (DLM) Color Control, which the company says is the industry’s first code-compliant circadian rhythm lighting system. As a controls partner for Lumenetix, the DLM Color Control will be interoperable with Lumenetix’s cutting-edge araya5 LED light engine.

Announced at this week’s LEDucation conference, DLM Color Control marks a significant expansion in Wattstopper DLM capabilities, says Legrand. With increased market adoption of light-emitting diode (LED) lighting and growing interest in functionalities like color control and circadian lighting, this system helps accelerate advanced lighting by solving the challenges around cost and complexities of the control system involved.

The system comprises an in-fixture control module integrated into the DLM platform with wall-box-mounted astronomical clock and timer. Suitable for use in all areas where high-quality LED lighting and features are needed, DLM Color Control uses standard DMX protocol to communicate with LED drivers and controllers, and enables control of dimmable LED drivers and controllers for CCT and color control applications.
