The Lighting Controls Association  
  • Advanced lighting controls and controllable ballasts can provide substantive benefits to building owners and occupants, including greater worker satisfaction, flexibility, energy cost savings and building demand response capability. According to the New Buildings Institute, advanced lighting controls and controllable ballasts can generate up to 50% lighting energy savings in existing buildings and 35% in new construction. Lighting controls and controllable ballasts are increasingly considered the new low hanging fruit by policy makers, and as a result prevailing commercial energy codes require installation of energy-saving lighting controls.
  • The Lighting Controls Association was founded in 1999 to educate the public about the benefits, technology, design and application of advanced lighting controls and controllable ballasts in new and existing buildings.
  • Today, the Lighting Controls Association is proud to offer a wide range of educational resources on its website at www.aboutlightingcontrols.org, including a monthly whitepaper on lighting and control efficiency, newsletter, access to the latest products, and a comprehensive online series of educational courses called Education Express.
  • The Lighting Controls Association is recognized as the authority on lighting control and the voice of the lighting controls industry. The Association contributes content to numerous trade magazines and has supported development of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Commercial Lighting Solutions Program, Light Right Consortium’s Office Lighting Satisfaction Survey Tool, New Buildings Institute’s Advanced Lighting Guidelines, and Illuminating Engineering Society’s seminar program on lighting controls for nonresidential buildings, among others.
  • Lighting Controls Association members include noted leaders in the manufacture of advanced controls and dimming ballasts: Cooper Controls, DELTA Controls, Encelium Technologies, Hubbell Building Automation, HUNT Dimming, Leviton, Lightolier Controls, Lightronics, Lutron Electronics, OSRAM SYLVANIA, Philips Lighting Electronics, PLC-Multipoint, Square D, Sensor Switch, Synergy Lighting Controls, Tridonic, Universal Lighting Technologies and Watt Stopper/Legrand.
