Digital Lighting Management (DLM)
by Wattstopper

This is a 6 minute video from Wattstopper on the installation of the DLM system at Weber State University.  This is a worthwhile viewing if you do public or school/university work.  Let me know if you would like a demonstration as I have a DLM kit on hand.  Thanks.

 

From the Wattstopper web site:

 

	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.
	Highlights: Self-configure to manual-On or auto-On to 50% to meet the strictest energy codes Pushbuttons and scrolling LCD screen make optional customization a breeze IR transceiver for wireless configuration using LMCT-100 Button(s) and sensor can be bound to any/different loads Sensors feature superior coverage detect minor motion 25' from sensor detect major motion 40' from sensor

 

And above is a case study for DLM at Weber State University.

LED Emergency Sconce

For the electrical engineering community here in Nashville and middle Tennessee, this is a great emergency LED sconce.  I have ordered a sample for TLC Engineers who asked to see the fixture and can bring it for a demonstration to anyone else who would like to see it...  thank you.

• The emergency components are completely integral to the luminaire.
• Emergency lighting is provided for a 90 minute period in the event of power loss.
• The 121-EM is suitable for use in ambient temperature conditions from 40°C (104°F) maximum to -10°C (14°F) minimum.
• Available wattages include 35 watt and 50 watt.
• In order to provide speed to market, the 121-EM is based on 121 generation 1 technology. It is available with Wide Throw (WT), Forward Throw (FT) and Medium Throw (MT) optics. Note: luminaires with MT optics include a diffuse lens.
• 121-EM with FT and WT optics are provided with a clear glass lens for a similar outward appearance to the recently announced 121-Generation 2 sconce family.
• 121-EM sconces with MT optics are provided with a diffuse lens. For a similar outward appearance, simply specify the DL (diffuse lens) option on 121-Generation 2 luminaires for a closer match to the 121-EM with MT optics.

Each 121-EM wall sconce includes a combination indicator light and test switch located in the door frame center, near the wall.

Architectural LED with Emergency Backup

This is a great fixture from Beta Calco and I recently received an update showing that an emergency LED driver can be integrated.
