Why do we need
Energy Saving
Control Systems?

The world's ever increasing demand for energy is rapidly changing our environment and the need for energy efficiency in every aspect of our daily lives has never been greater.

Lighting accounts for approximately one fifth of the world's total electricity consumption. In business, luminaires are regularly switched on at the start of the working day and remain switched on until the last person leaves, regardless of how often that space has been occupied throughout the day or how much natural light is present.

Saving energy is easy:

• Design the lighting scheme in accordance with standards using the best available technology.
• Ensure the luminaires have precise optical control to deliver the illumination where it is needed.
• Optimise energy savings by fitting remotely mounted lighting controls, or selecting “Smart” luminaires with inbuilt energy saving technology.

Thorlux energy saving lighting control systems make the most of maintained illuminance, daylight dimming and presence detection (explained further in this section) to ensure optimum energy savings, often measured in real applications to exceed 70%.

Save energy, save money, save the environment!
