Lighting accounts for up to 20% of a building's energy use, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. With rising energy costs, businesses can benefit significantly from energy-efficient lighting solutions. Automated lighting controls like those from SensorSwitch help businesses cut lighting costs and reduce energy consumption. This blog explores how SensorSwitch’s products—WSXA, TLS, CM, LSXR, SPODMRA, and CMR—help businesses save money by optimizing lighting systems.
Why Automated Lighting Controls Matter
Traditional lighting systems often remain on when spaces are unoccupied, resulting in energy waste. Automated controls like SensorSwitch address this issue by turning lights off when rooms are empty and adjusting brightness based on natural light levels. This helps reduce energy consumption, cut costs, and lower environmental impact.
How SensorSwitch Products Help Save Energy
1. WSXA Series: Wall Switch Sensor with Occupancy Detection and Daylighting
The WSXA Series is ideal for commercial spaces with multiple entryways. It features occupancy detection up to 20 feet and adaptive daylight harvesting, which adjusts lighting based on available natural light. The system is programmable via the SensorSwitch mobile app, allowing businesses to set custom schedules and ensure energy is only used when needed.
2. TLS Series: Twist-to-Lock Sensor
Designed for industrial environments, the TLS Series offers occupancy detection and daylight dimming. This system adjusts lighting based on natural light, ensuring that lights are only on when spaces are occupied. It’s perfect for areas with high ceilings, such as warehouses and factories, preventing unnecessary energy use.
3. CM Series: Ceiling Mount, Low Voltage Sensors
The CM Series is a low-voltage solution ideal for various commercial applications. With flexible mounting options and a range of lens choices, the system can adapt to different room layouts. The sensors link together to cover larger or irregularly shaped spaces, ensuring lights are only on when rooms are occupied, reducing waste and saving energy.
4. LSXR Series: Fixture Mount Sensor
The LSXR Series uses passive infrared (PIR) detection to accurately sense occupancy and control lighting. It includes interchangeable lenses to accommodate different ceiling heights and coverage needs. This system is great for areas like conference rooms and hallways, where occupancy fluctuates. It helps businesses save on lighting costs by turning off lights when rooms are unoccupied.
5. SPODMRA Series: Dimming Switch with Multi-Way Option
The SPODMRA Series features push-button dimming switches with multi-way functionality. This allows businesses to control lighting from multiple locations. The system also includes sealed wall plates, making it suitable for areas like restrooms and kitchens. Dimming the lights when full brightness isn’t needed helps further reduce energy consumption.
6. CMR Series: Ceiling Mount, Line Voltage Sensors
The CMR Series offers line voltage sensors that mount directly to the ceiling. Available in various configurations, these sensors provide independent coverage for smaller rooms or private offices. By detecting occupancy, the system ensures lights are only on when needed, minimizing energy waste and lowering lighting costs.
Conclusion: Saving Energy and Reducing Costs with SensorSwitch
SensorSwitch’s automated lighting controls help businesses reduce energy waste and lower lighting costs. Whether it’s the WSXA, TLS, CM, LSXR, SPODMRA, or CMR series, each product ensures that lighting is used only when needed, optimizing energy efficiency and improving sustainability.
Adopting automated lighting solutions is a smart way to cut costs and reduce environmental impact. SensorSwitch products provide an easy, cost-effective way to manage lighting, helping businesses save on energy while promoting a greener, more efficient workplace.
