Did you know you can bring light to your entire business, without wasting energy or making your monthly bills skyrocket? With a commercial automated lighting system in place, you can ensure your lights aren’t on when they’re going unused.

In this blog, we’ll dive into the various smart automation features that can create a hands-off setup at your work – whether it’s an office building or restaurant.

TIMERS AND SCHEDULING

A lighting control system for your commercial space is ideal not only because you can press a button to turn any and every light on and off that you want, but because of its ability to work even when you’re not next to a switch.

You can set your lighting system to turn on specific lighting fixtures in different rooms throughout the day. When every employee enters the building or restaurant for the day’s work, your system can know to turn on every light throughout the building, but keep off the evening dining areas or keep the outdoor area unlit until nighttime.

Schedule lights to turn off when the sun and your motorized shades are up, which then lets in gentle, natural lighting in your conference rooms and other areas. Then when the sun goes down in the evening, your lights can slowly turn on and give your space a natural glow where needed.

At the end of the day, you can have every light turn off at once and keep your outdoor lighting on to enhance your security – this way you can know that every light is off without having to check or manually turn them off.

Now with these smart techniques, you can keep your building’s lights off when they are going unused – saving you money and keeping your whole business green.

MOTION AND PHOTOSENSORS

Besides setting up timers and scheduling out your lights, you can also install sensors throughout your business’ building and in individual rooms. These will help lights turn off and stay off without you having to pay attention or check in with them.

By setting up motion sensors in every room, you can ensure that the lights remain on while someone is occupying the space. Once they leave the area, your lights will stay on for a set amount of time. And then when that time is up, and no one else has entered the room, the fixtures will shut off.

Photosensors save energy as well by detecting when the sun’s light is bright enough to illuminate a space or when it’s too dim to keep a room bright on its own. Your lights can respond accordingly and will be sure to stay off when not in use.
