An incredibly simple and affordable way to incorporate daylight controls into your lighting designs.
Pro-Environment, Pro-Pocketbook:Good daylighting designs are obviously good for the planet, exchanging non-renewable energy resources for clean and sustainable daylight. Putting daylight controls to work in your lighting design can also help you reduce operating expenses and comply with tough energy codes. Research indicates that daylight sensors can provide 30-35% energy savings in window-adjacent locations. Beyond improving a building's energy performance, controlled daylighting can also translate into soft-savings gained through the improved health and productivity of occupants.
Simple to Specify:Specifying Response Daylight is almost as simple as specifying any light fixture. There's no need to integrate standalone systems or design complicated low voltage wiring schemes with costly power packs and sensors. Just design the lighting and indicate which fixtures require daylight control — that’s it.
A Cinch to Install:Response Daylight is optimized for typical lighting applications right out of the box — just plug in the fixture. There's no need to rely on third-party installers to calibrate the sensors, or to conduct your own late-night commissioning. The sensors are factory pre-calibrated to provide the light levels you require and to deliver the savings you expect. If your space does require some fine-tuning in the field, Response Daylight sensors are easily adjusted onsite.
More About Installation
Plays Nice With Others:Response Daylight is designed to save energy by working with people, not against them. If occupants experience too much distraction from changing light levels, they usually disable the sensors — eliminating any potential for energy savings. Response Daylight sensors have a built-in delay to prevent disruptions from passing clouds and occasional shadows. In addition, Response Daylight applies a weighting to daylight, dimming electric light output gradually on a relative, weighted scale. This creates a more natural-feeling space and, ultimately, happier occupants.
Brains and Beauty:Ledalite has always appreciated that good design incorporates elements of both function and fashion. No one wants a daylight controls system with unsightly lumps on the ceiling and a mess of additional wiring. That’s why Response Daylight is integrated into Ledalite's luminaires with subtle aesthetics and simple circuitry. All you see is a small, non-obtrusive aperture extending just beyond the housing. Everything that’s required is integrated directly in the luminaire — a total package.
The Best Deal in Town:Other daylight controls offerings require such an expensive combination of dimming ballasts, power packs and sensors that it's difficult to justify any potential savings they might achieve over their lifetime. When ordered with standard Ledalite-supplied dimming ballasts, Response Daylight is available in our suspended luminaires at no additional charge* and in our line of recessed products at a nominal cost. Even if you want to specify your own dimming ballasts, the cost of Response Daylight is still a fraction of other daylight controls systems.
