by Rebecca Walker — May 21, 2010—WattStopper has added network capability to its self-configuring Digital Lighting Management (DLM) lighting control product line, enabling remote management of lighting controls throughout a floor, a building or an entire campus, says the company.
This product line expansion also includes two new DLM digital photosensors for automatically switching or dimming up to three zones of lighting in daylit areas, new DLM lighting control panels, and powerful new dimming features for DLM wall switches. Economically priced DLM controls generate the highest return on investment of any building-wide lighting control system, WattStopper asserts.
Digital Lighting Management is a distributed control system that automatically maximizes lighting energy efficiency within each controlled space. WattStopper’s open protocol network solution is both rugged and easy to implement, as it builds on the bottom up architecture of automatically configured local networks. This design minimizes setup time and ensures that the controls will continue to operate even if the network connection is disrupted. System integrators can add DLM to existing building networks without the need to run additional wiring, and can address devices as familiar BACnet objects.
WattStopper, a Legrand group brand, is a leading manufacturer of energy efficient lighting controls for commercial and residential use.
