Lighting
On average, lighting expenses account for over 10 percent of a restaurant’s total energy expenses. High-pressure lighting ballasts contribute to peak kilowatt consumption raising demand rates. If your restaurant is like most, you have hundreds of lights, including high-wattage parking lights. You have two easy solutions: replace existing lamps and bulbs with more efficient types and use our controls system to schedule and monitor your signage and lighting. When we’re talking about hundreds of lights, a few minutes each day adds up in a hurry.
Schedules
Place your lighting on a schedule to improve your restaurant’s visibility, reduce crime, improve safety, and save you money. Change your schedules from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection. When lighting is automatic, your signage is always lit appropriately, your walkways always have the right amount of light, and you deter vandals and thieves.
Photo Sensing
Don’t just rely on a clock, our controls system can modify schedules based on readings from the photo sensors. Who cares what the clock says when there is enough natural light, there’s no need to burn the bulbs.
