Energy savings and comfort
Facts
- 20-25% of energy expenses in an average commercial building are related to lighting.
- 3 main parameters affect the optimization of lighting: time, brightness and presence
- 10% of energy consumption can be cut with programmable time switches.
- 20% of energy consumption can be saved thanks to presence detection.
- 30% of energy used can be saved thanks to dimmers with a detection function.
- 50% of energy consumption brightness detection

How to select dimmers?
-
Style criteria
Your customers can choose from different designs and colors of dimmers. They also consider touch, rotary or remote dimmers and the possibility of dimming the lights from several locations, according to room configuration.
-
Technical criteria
You must consider the type of lights (incandescent, halogen 230 V AC/low voltage, fluorescent tube), as well as their power and number. The availability of neutral wire and the combination with products such as shutter or heating control are also key factors.
Our dimming solutions
-
Wired
Wall mounted solutions
Adjust the level of lighting from several control points in the room. Each pushbutton can control the super dimmer to maximize occupant comfort. You can choose from:
• Rotary dimmers for lighting loads (except FLC) with optional memory function
• Touch dimmers with or without memory
• Comfort rotary dimmers with energy saving function and position indicator
DIN-rail mounted solutions
Transform push-buttons into dimmers by installing a dimming module in the control cabinet on DIN rail. The module controls lighting for all lights (except FLC loads).
Advantages of this solution:
• Control lights through walls
• Adjust several light circuits
• Set different scenes or scenarios -
Wireless
Infra-red system
Wit the infra-red solutions your customers can easily dim the lights from different locations in the same room, for example without getting up from the sofa. The system comprises a remote emitter and and wall-mounted receiver.
RF system
The RF system is designed to enable convenient dimming from several locations. It combines an RF remote emitter and one or more RF receivers. It is the perfect solution for renovations and can be mixed with other home control solutions. It enables customers to:
• Control lights through walls
• Adjust several light circuits
• Set different scenes or scenarios
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) system
Smartphones with Bluetooth connectivity have become an essential part of everyday life — and our BLE lighting products take advantage of their capabilities. They help save energy because it's connected only when required by the user; it delivers simple configuration and timers via the app, on your phone or tablet. It is a modern remote control to help users configure and simplify their lives. -
Digital
KNX system
Adapt lighting, heating and shutters with the KNX bus system, a globally recognized standard for interconnected, intelligent home automation components. The KNX system enables:
• Flexibility (planning, adaptation, multi-vendor applications)
• Safety and security
• Up to 50% energy savings with multiple functions
IHC system
Intelligent Home Control integrates lighting, heating and shutters for convenient control and up to 50% energy savings. It features a central programmable unit in the control cabinet and enables:
• Flexible scene-setting and programming
• Remote access and control
• Easy scalability and integration of multiple devices
C-Bus
A microprocessor-based control and management system for buildings and homes, C-Bus is used to control lighting and other electrical services such as pumps, audio/visual devices, motors, etc. Whether simple ON/OFF control of a lighting circuit, or variable (analogue) type control, such as electronic dimmable fluorescent ballasts, C-Bus can be used to easily control virtually any type of electrical load. The key reasons to use C-Bus:
• Highly robust and reliable control system, but low cost per node
• Ultimate flexibility in switching and control: functions can be changed, added, removed, moved, reprogrammed, at any position on the network, at any time, without any cumbersome hard-wiring
• A single C-Bus cable connection can control an unlimited number of devices.

How to select sensors?
-
Movement detectors
Best suitable for large areas where multiple detectors can be used in parallel. You can also use movement detectors for retrofitting, in combination with two-way rocker pushbuttons, or in staircases in combination with lighting timers.
-
Presence detectors
Presence detectors combine the technology of movement detection and a precision lens for greater accuracy in detecting very small movement. They should be used, if possible, in the center of a room for an optimal detection area.
