Smart Lighting Takes the Guesswork Out of the Transition from Incandescent Bulbs
As 40- and 60-watt incandescent light bulbs are set to disappear from store shelves in 2014, the transition to more energy efficient forms of lighting is top-of-mind among consumers. With smart lighting control from Control4, Salt Lake City, Utah, a provider of home automation systems, homeowners migrating to newer, more efficient forms of lighting can rest assured that their new halogen, CFL, and LED bulbs are fully compatible with advanced dimming, scheduling, and occupancy sensing capabilities.
“We're at a pivotal point in the ENERGY STAR transition where existing lighting and newer, more efficient lighting loads coexist within the same home,” said Paul Nagel, vice president of Lighting and Comfort at Control4. “To handle the mix of old and new, we designed the new Control4 Wireless Lighting line to work equally well with virtually any type of lighting load, giving homeowners a lighting control solution that's not only perfect for today, but also lays the groundwork for a more energy-efficient future."
