Lumenergi Wins Building Operating Management 2012 Top Products Award

Awards recognize the most popular manufacturers and suppliers of the year, as determined by FacilitiesNet.com readers

NEWARK, Calif. – January 20, 2012 – LUMEnergi, a leading provider of intelligent, network-controlled lighting management solutions, has received the prestigious Building Operating Management 2012 Top Products Award.  This award recognizes the best manufacturers and suppliers of the year as determined by building and facility executives who were asked to select their choices for Top Products that met the criteria of innovation and usefulness to facility managers.

LUMEnergi’s team has brought deep industry experience to its NetLight™ product line, which is recognized as the most technically complete and future-ready solution to manage commercial buildings’ energy use.  The Building Operating Management 2012 Top Product winner is NetLight Driver, an intelligent, universal dimming ballast that enables smart fixtures with two-way communication for T5, T5HO, and T8 fluorescent lamps while performing dynamic demand response and independent load-shedding. NetLight Driver operates in DALI or 0-10VDC control modes and takes electrical inputs from 120V to 277V at 50 or 60 Hz.

NetLight Driver is a recent addition to LUMEnergi’s NetLight system and provides a new level of versatility to enable the greatest energy and cost savings for scalable intelligent lighting solutions in office buildings and commercial and industrial applications.  Another recent addition to the product line, NetLight Switch, was featured in Building Operating Management’s December 2011 feature story, “Lighting Control Narrative A Powerful Tool for More Efficient, Effective Systems.”  NetLight Switch controls scene selections from one device and can be installed in a multipoint arrangement within any functional space, synchronize to the current scene, and update dimming levels to the last setting. It features a rocker switch, slide dimmer, and four-color scene indicator, allowing lighting levels to be easily adjusted. Contributing to their superb energy efficiency, the NetLight Driver and NetLight Switch, like all LUMEnergi lighting solutions, support intelligent and dynamic programming control and individual addressability of luminaires.

LUMEnergi’s NetLight™ product line is shaping the future of energy efficiency for commercial and industrial buildings. NetLight was designed to provide energy efficiency while preserving investment in existing lighting systems, with capabilities that anticipate the coming smart grid technologies. Equal product development priority was given to simple installation and logistics, making the entire process easy – whether in partnership with luminaire manufacturers to create smart fixtures, or with integrators commissioning an installation for a building owner. LUMEnergi is sought for fast-track projects that require quick installation, preservation of existing infrastructure, deep energy reductions, improved light quality and increased worker productivity.
