December 5, 2008—Lutron Electronics Co., Inc., a world leader in the design and manufacture of lighting controls, has introduced the next generation of the Quantum total light management system for improved comfort and productivity and the capability to reduce a building’s lighting electricity usage by 60 percent or more.
The expanded capabilities of Quantum total light management now include integration with Lutron’s Grafik Eye QS scene and zone controls; Lutron’s new Hyperion solar-adaptive shading; and architectural load dimming of all common light sources, including halogen, LED, low-voltage and incandescent, says the company.
Lutron’s Quantum total light management optimizes the use of electric light and daylight in commercial and educational buildings, preventing wasted lighting energy. Quantum automatically dims or switches all electric lighting and controls daylight using automated window shades. Quantum also manages, monitors, and reports on all the lighting usage in a building or campus for optimal energy performance and productivity, while minimizing maintenance and operating costs.
“Office buildings and other commercial structures are consuming huge amounts of electricity in cities and towns all over—and lighting is almost always the number one reason,” says Eric Lind, Director-Commercial Marketing for Lutron. “With energy costs continually going up, Quantum cuts the electric bill substantially and, in the process, helps the environment.”
