Specifying a Sensor: A Deep Dive on Occupancy and Vacancy SensorsAccording
to the Open Access journal Sensors, occupancy-based
lighting controls can reduce lighting energy consumption
in commercial buildings by up to 45% (Chaudhari et al.,
2024). Because these devices are relatively simple to
install, cost-effective, and widely required by energy
codes, occupancy sensing is a staple in new construction
projects, renovations, and many lighting upgrades. LEARN MORE |

2025 Lighting Control Innovation Award of MeritThe Lighting Control Innovation Award of Merit in the 2025 Illumination Awards was awarded to RDesign International Lighting for their Commercial Entrance Ceiling Art Installation. This award recognizes projects that exemplify the effective use of lighting controls in non-residential applications. The installation's theme, "The wind caresses the wheat ears," draws inspiration from natural scenery, creating a flowing natural form through an integrated metal chain hidden lighting scheme and multiple addresses independently controlling light strips. The award highlights the innovative design and the integration of lighting with the behavior of people passing below, resulting in diverse dynamic effects according to pedestrian flow. LEARN MORE |
