Lighting controls work in Lancashire
Daylight dimming works best in premises around Lancashire with deep window bays or roof lights.
In Lancashire buildings, the quickest control savings usually come from presence detection in rooms that are used for only part of the day.
What's included
- Retrofit wireless controls where rewiring is impractical
- DALI and DALI-2 systems with scenes and zoning
