Controls save energy only when they reduce output or hours. In meeting rooms, toilets, stores and aisles that are often empty, the saving can be large; in a busy open-plan office less so.

As a budget, a basic presence sensor costs about £40–£80 installed, a daylight sensor £60–£120, and DALI control around £50–£150 per luminaire on top of the fitting, excluding VAT.
