The rise of smart devices has revolutionized the way we interact with our environment. Network lighting controls are an increasingly significant part of this development, offering businesses and homeowners a host of advantages. Network lighting controls offer an easy and efficient way to control lighting systems via a network of connected devices providing users with convenience, energy savings, and enhanced safety, while also allowing them to customize their settings according to their preferences.

With a wide variety of manufacturers, supported lighting network types, and intelligent lighting features available at Duralec, choosing and setting up an otherwise complicated lighting control system is easy and less daunting.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Light Controls 

Power over Ethernet (PoE) light controls provide a reliable and cost-effective way to control lighting using an Ethernet connection. It allows for the synchronization of multiple lights, providing more accurate and efficient control from one or more user interfaces. This technology also eliminates the need for separate wiring for the individual lights, making installation much easier and cheaper.

With PoE, each light can be controlled independently, allowing users to easily create different lighting scenarios. Additionally, this technology is compatible with most existing infrastructure, making it easy to integrate into any system. PoE provides an efficient and reliable solution for controlling lighting in any environment.

Internet of Things (IoT) Light Controls 

IoT light controls allow users to control their lighting directly from their smartphones or tablets,  or voice-control devices. This type of lighting system is becoming increasingly popular for its convenience and energy-saving benefits. Through IoT-enabled lighting systems, you can adjust the brightness and color of your lights, create schedules for when the lights should turn on or off, and even remotely control them from anywhere at any time.

In addition, IoT-enabled lights work simultaneously with other environmental controls such as daylight harvesting and occupancy sensors for smarter, more energy-efficient lighting. The sensors are usually mounted on walls or ceilings where it is pre-programmed to detect changes in the environment, triggering lighting controls accordingly. Such sensors can be used in conjunction with light control apps that automate dimmers and timers to gain more energy savings.

• Occupancy sensors detect the presence of people in a room or space typically used to turn lights on and off automatically when someone enters or leaves a room.

• Daylight harvesting sensors monitor and measure the amount of natural light that enters a building. They allow for effective control of artificial lighting, reducing overall energy consumption by harvesting the available daylight within a space.

Bluetooth Mesh Light Controls

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Mesh Lighting is an advanced NLC (networked Lighting Control) technology that connects fixture controllers, sensors, timers and other devices together to create a network of interconnected and remote-controlled lights. 

The mesh network also provides increased coverage and reliability, as well as improved energy efficiency and reduced interference. As each bulb can act as a router for other bulbs in the network, it ensures that the signals reach even further than with Wi-Fi networks. This makes it ideal for larger areas such as offices, industrial buildings, and warehouses.

With Bluetooth Mesh light controls, users can set timers and schedules for their lights, adjust brightness levels remotely, group lights, or even change the color from any device connected to the mesh network, giving complete control over their lighting with just a few taps on their phone or tablet. Bluetooth Mesh systems are relatively easy to install, allowing you to quickly set up the existing fixtures.

Wi-Fi and Z-Wave Light Controls 

Wi-Fi switch modules turn wall switches to smart switches via Wi-Fi. The modules can also be used to set schedules for when lights should turn on or off, saving energy and money. Wi-Fi switch modules are easy to install and require minimal wiring. 

Z-Wave is low-power wireless technology of a different frequency, so it won't interfere with other wireless signals in your space. Devices use Z-Wave technology to connect to a compatible hub or controller. Through the hub, users can control the LED lights, including changing their intensity and color temperature, dimming it, and turning it off and on. Z-Wave light controllers also allow users to set schedules and create scenes that adjust multiple lights at once. 

Both Wi-Fi and Z-Wave-enabled light controllers can be connected to existing wall switches without the need for any special tools or knowledge of electrical systems. They allow users to remotely control and automate lights and other electronic devices through a smartphone app or a touchscreen control device. Additionally, some models offer compatibility with popular smart home systems such as Amazon Alexa or Google Home, allowing users to control their devices and lights using voice commands.
