POST-LIGHTFAIR REPORT: SYSTEMS AND CONTROLS UPDATE

We are excited to announce EnFocus™ was featured in LEDs Magazine’s Post-LightFair Report: Systems and Controls Update.

 

“Market penetration of [lighting] controls is about 1% with incentives, rebates, and code requirements” considered, senior vice president, product management and engineering Greg Galluccio said during our visit. While acknowledging that wireless controls have become popular in residential spaces, commercial and industrial end users — such as administrators and facilities operators with security concerns in educational, healthcare, government, and prison environments — are more wary of devices that can “forget to pair and loss connection,” Galluccio said. Still, wired-system costs estimated from $7,000 to $10,000 to pull new wiring for individual classrooms can be prohibitive, for instance, and interoperability is a major concern, he explained.
