●     Reduce Overhead Expenditures

One of the most basic techniques of control implemented via lighting management system is to utilize sensors for to ensure right light at right time and right place or Light on demand. These are generally motion-sensing sensors that detect occupancy to turn lights on or off. Even this seemingly basic lighting control offering can save your business loads of money. Further, lighting management system also support features like scheduling, where some lights in the facility remain on for a particular period only. Both these features ensure that only the amount of light which is absolutely necessary is being utilized, while wastage is successfully prevented up to 100%. Ultimately, this reduces your overhead expenditures and the operational costs of the business come down significantly.

●     Ease Of Building Management

One of the biggest advantages of a lighting control system for building managers is the lighting network that they create. This means that all lights in a certain section of the building are connected to each other via intricate mechanisms of the lighting management system. Therefore, all these can be turned on or off or adjust the intensity of the required zone with just a single click, without having to deal with each of them individually. Moreover, this does not impact the lights present in other zones of the building. Hence, every such zone is labeled as a stand-alone zone.

But not just stand-alone zones, modern lighting management system also have building-level controls. These are established through a clean user interface, common to all lamps, LEDs, ballasts, etc., in the building. This way, remote asset management becomes very easy through the manager’s laptop or mobile phone. It is also a very effective way of data collection for building managers.

●     Asset Tracking

Enhanced operational efficiency is the key to reducing capital expenses. Simultaneously, just to cut down on the expenses, safety and convenience cannot be overlooked. It is easier to track devices remotely and get reports on performance and device health. So, subsequent interventions and replacements can be planned without delays so that lighting glitches do not occur. Another interesting way in which lighting management equipment can help with asset tracking is by connecting lamp sensors with products. So, staff can virtually locate products, and track their location easily. Many business owners are using this mechanism for inventory located in their warehouses.

●     Self-adjustment For Design And Cost Cutting

Self-adjustment benefits of lighting management system are beneficial for corporate office space and a small restaurant alike. For instance, certain features like daylight adjustment help in automatically reducing the intensity or even turning off certain lights completely, after sensing that natural sunlight is more than enough to work without putting any strain on one’s eyes. Similarly, for places like restaurants, bars, indoor auditoriums, etc., self-adjustment features such as dimming of lights during the nighttime or playing with colors to create a certain mood or ‘atmosphere’ can be a great interior design addition.

●     Security Benefits

Lighting management system offer intelligent security solutions also, that are collaborative with Security Management Systems. Occupancy sensing is the most obvious mechanism by which this works, illuminating dark spaces whenever any intrusion is sensed. Many lighting management systems also have provisions for enabling alerts along with turning the lights on when such intrusions take place. Most systems today give sensitivity controls as a standard offering. With sensitivity controls, features like automatically turning on bright exterior floodlights will help security guards track and locate intruders easily.

●     Flexible Control

The responsive control features of lighting management system allow users to manage their lighting devices from virtually anywhere. Lighting management software can be integrated with smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktops very easily. Therefore tasks like adjusting, monitoring, and scheduling lighting changes can be done remotely within a few seconds. Lighting management software gives managers direct enterprise-level access to their lighting devices, so it’s possible to even take large-scale lighting control modifications from mobile devices.
