DLM: Digital Wall Switch Occupancy Sensor
We're pleased to announce the launch of new Digital Lighting Management (DLM) Wall Switch Occupancy Sensors that make it easier than ever to plug in self-configuring, code-compliant, digital sensors throughout an installation. The one and two-button LMPW-100 Series (PIR) and LMDW-100 Series (dual technology) sensors are ideal for conference rooms, offices and restrooms. |

Bad Cove Lighting
This is a to be unnamed restaurant that Jen, Caleb, and I frequent after church on Sundays. I think this is a bad example of cove lighting and there are three possible solutions that I will show.
So the line on the ceiling is a bit uneven and odd looking. Of course I make a living doing this but the pattern was distracting to me. I could not see into the cove but suspect that this is a staggered strip. Three ideas that would have made this a better cove lighting job:
1. Increase the depth of the cove. The greater depth would allow for more dispersion and the pattern would be further in to the middle of the the ceiling.
2. Use linear LEDs. This is a more expensive option, at least in initial cost, but an LED with a narrow, elliptical distribution would not have this issue and with an adjustable mounting bracket could push the light in to the middle which is desirable. Here is an example of such a fixture: Beghelli Spyder
3. Use the new seemless lamps. This would give uniformity but would not kick the light to the middle of the ceiling. This would be better than the current solution but not the best in a good, better, best scenario.

Wattstopper Digital Dimming Room Controller
LMRC-220 Series Digital Room Controllers include one or two output(s) to control a total of up to 20 amps. Load ratings include incandescent, magnetic low voltage, forward phase compatible electronic low voltage and LED drivers, neon and cold cathode, and dimmable two-wire and threewire fluorescent ballasts. They are the foundation of a WattStopper Digital Lighting Management (DLM) system, and allow integration of occupancy sensors, daylighting controls and switches for energy-efficient lighting control.
Key Features
- Versatile 20A controllers with line voltage relay(s) and triac-based forward phase control dimming
- Compatible with most load types; three selectable dimming curves for each load
- Plug to other components using Cat 5e cables with RJ45 connectors eliminating wiring errors
- Plug n’ Go automatic configuration for quick startup
- Store load preset level and 16 scene preset levels for each load
- Facilitate energy saving dimming control strategies including automatic daylight harvesting

Load Shedding Control by Wattstopper
This is a good white paper by Wattstopper. Let me know if you have any questions.
Shad Asebrook

Link to Wattstopper PDF
Solutions for Load SheddingWith energy alerts on the rise and demand charges increasing, load shedding has become an important lighting control strategy. Because many lighting loads are non-critical, they are prime candidates for load shedding along with other non-critical building loads.
Daylighting Controls
Load shedding with daylighting controls is a natural, automatic process. Because high energy demand often occurs at the same time daylighting potential is the greatest, the natural consequence of using daylighting controls will be to reduce lighting as the level of daylight increases and becomes adequate to replace artificial lighting sources.
With continuous dimming products, such as The Watt Stopper’’s LightSaver LCD control, users can define the minimum light level they want to maintain throughout the course of a day, and the dim- ming controls will adjust artificial lighting based on this setpoint and the available daylight contribu- tion. When daylight is adequate, lights will be dimmed and when daylight diminishes, artificial light levels are raised. The multi-zone option of the LCD enables the use of independent dimming controls in different areas of a building space, such as an open office area, where daylight levels may differ. One lighting zone, nearer to windows or skylights where daylight levels are higher, may dim artificial light- ing earlier in the day and to lower levels than in another lighting zone that is located further from the daylight source and receiving a smaller daylight contribution.
ON/OFF switching controls, such as The Watt Stopper’’s LightSaver LCO control, are also effective load shedding tools. Compatible with all lamp types, ON/OFF controls turn lights off when the daylight contribution reaches a user-defined level. Multi-zone controls enable bi-level, or stepped dimming, which can be particularly effective as a load shedding strategy. Most commonly, individual lamps with- in a multi-lamp fixture will be grouped into different zones; the inner lamps in three-lamp fixtures in one zone and the outer two lamps in a separate zone. The lighting in each zone is turned off once day- light levels reach a defined setpoint. Usually, the zone comprised of the inner lamps will be turned off first, reducing lighting by one-third. Later in the day, when the daylight contribution increases, the other lighting zone can be turned off. For more aggressive load shedding, the sequence can be reversed, to shed two-thirds of the lighting load earlier in the day.
The Watt Stopper Application Bulletin
Lighting Control Panels
Another effective tool for achieving load shedding is the use of lighting control panels. Panel prod- ucts perform load shedding by turning off non-critical loads during peak times.
For instance, users of The Watt StopperComplete Control panel products can employ a prepro- grammed control scenario to shed non-critical lighting loads. This could be half of the lighting in a "bi-level" controlled space. Under such a scenario, occupants are "locked out" from exercising local overrides via switches or telephone contact with the system. This control scenario can be pro- grammed to operate during daily intervals when peak loads are most likely to occur, or when a facility historically attains its highest demand. This strategy can also be invoked under energy shortage alerts.
Specialized Load Shedding Solutions
Additional automated load shedding solutions include teaming The Watt Stopper Automatic Relay Pack (ARP) with the Telephone Switch Module (TSM). Non-critical, sheddable loads are connected to one relay on the ARP-Net, while critical, non-sheddable loads are connected to the other relay. The TSM is installed on the ARP-Net network. During a power alert, a call into the TSM from the facility manager will turn off the relay with non-critical loads. The ARP’s lock-off capability ensures that once the signal from the TSM is received, lighting or other loads (i.e., HVAC, fans, etc.) immediately shut off, and that ordinary occupant overrides are not available. To restore the loads, the facility manager makes only a quick call back to the TSM and follows a sim-
ple push-button sequence.

Light Meter App
This is a great app for lighting people or if you want to show an owner what footcandles are in a space. A Light Meter app! I tested against a "real" light meter from Greenlee at showed 22 FC at my desk. The whitegood light meter showed 18 so not completely accurate but I had a case on my phone, etc. It works as a good estimate of light quantity. Search "whitegoods" at iTunes.
That is me and my son Caleb at Stone Fort park in Manchester TN in the background.
From the whitegoods site:
New Update Available for Whitegoods Light Meter App
Whitegoods have made further improvements to their recently launched LightMeter App;
The new updates include:
-An easy to use manual calibration tool where you can input readings taken from a real light
meter allowing for more accurate calibration.
- We have improved the decimalisation of Lux/foot-candle readings
-Default settings for low/medium or bright light levels to improve performance
-'How does it work' section on Info tab
-Settings for foot-candles or lux
Always have a light meter at hand with this intuitive and easy-to-use app. Compatible with iPhone 3GS,
4 and 4S, iPad and iPod Touch (iOS 5.0 or later). Works with front and back cameras and includes a built-in timer.
