LED alone cuts energy by up to 70%. Add smart controls and push that further. Occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, and centralized dimming align your lighting runtime with actual usage — eliminating waste without touching a switch.
GET A CONTROLS ASSESSMENTNo single control type works everywhere. We match the strategy to the space, occupancy pattern, and budget.
Automatically dim or switch off lights in unoccupied areas. Ideal for warehouses, offices, restrooms, stairwells, and any space with variable occupancy. Typical add-on savings: 20–40%.
Photosensors measure available natural light and automatically dim artificial lighting to maintain consistent foot-candle targets. Perimeter spaces and skylighted areas benefit most.
Schedule-based dimming systems that reduce light levels during low-activity periods — after hours, early mornings, weekends. Programmable from a single interface across zones, floors, or buildings.
DALI networks allow individual fixture control, real-time monitoring, and integration with Building Automation Systems. Ideal for large facilities requiring granular control and energy reporting.
Integrated emergency lighting control for NFPA and life safety compliance. Automated monthly and annual testing with logged results for compliance documentation.
Color temperature that shifts throughout the day to align with circadian rhythms — improving alertness in the morning and reducing eye strain in the afternoon. Ideal for healthcare, education, and offices.
In most cases, lighting controls can be integrated with your existing LED fixtures — whether Echelon installed them or not. We assess compatibility during the design phase and recommend the strategy that delivers the best ROI for your specific usage patterns.
We match control strategies to actual occupancy patterns — maximizing savings without over-engineering.
Occupancy sensors in aisles and staging areas combined with high-low dimming (100% occupied, 30% vacant). Typical additional savings: 25–35% on top of LED.
Perimeter daylight harvesting, desk-area occupancy sensing, and scheduled dimming after business hours. Best results in open-plan layouts with significant window area.
Pre-programmed lighting scenes for open, peak, and close periods. After-hours security lighting at reduced output. Accent circuits controlled independently from ambient.
Motion-activated step-up from 20% to 100% output. Photocell-based dusk-to-dawn control. Reduces exterior lighting energy by up to 80% without compromising safety.
