Lighting
Control for
Aesthetics and
Energy Savings
The need for more precise, sophisticated lighting
control is in demand.
An Architectural Dimming system allows you to:
• Create a specific mood, to increase a
guest’s experience
• Light the scene perfectly for a high-profile event
• Highlight architectural features or focal points
• Comply with energy codes and standards
• Meet future changes of your space with easy
configurations
• Integrate with BMS, A/V, shades, and
other systems
• Control from a sleek, front-end interface
Sophisticated high-end lighting should not be
at the expense of code compliance and energy
efficiency. With lighting consuming more than
38% of a building’s electrical energy consumption,
lighting control is essential to reduce costs and
improve sustainability.
Architectural dimming not only provides enhanced
control, but also allows for customized and versatile
lighting scenes, as well as energy-saving benefits.
Architectural Dimming provides
the perfect ambiance, modernizes
an environment, and highlights
architectural features or focal points, all
from a single control location.
