by AF0805d3 — August 9, 2010—WattStopper has enhanced its extensive offering of energy-efficient lighting controls with a line of wallbox dimmers and fan speed controls to help building owners and facility managers capture energy savings when lighting is on, according to WallStopper.
The new dimmers include a family of specification-grade architectural dimmers, intended primarily for commercial applications, and three families of designer dimmers for commercial, hospitality and residential applications. WattStopper now offers products designed to dim most lighting loads, including two-wire, three-wire and 0-10 volt fluorescent ballasts.
Most of the new controls feature preset functionality, and all of the preset dimmers can be wired for multi-way control, which simplifies stocking and ordering for distributors and contractors.
Each family includes a fan speed control.
The architectural dimmer family includes 120 and 277 volt models, and high capacity dimmers for larger loads. A field-configurable wallplate system simplifies the installation of multiple dimmers and eliminates the need to order expensive multi-gang plates. Each wallplate section includes a label slot for easy insertion of customized dimmer labels that can be printed on local laptops. Architectural dimmers for incandescent loads include a high-end trim that can be used to reduce the maximum dimmer output by up to 10 percent for added energy savings.
The designer families include touch dimmers, paddle dimmers and slide dimmers, all styled to fit standard decorator wallplates so they can be ganged easily and attractively with switches, sensors and other devices.
