Digital Lumens has announced the launch of a strategic partner program that will bring the proven advantages of integrated intelligence – energy efficiency, flexibility and fine-grained control – to the full range of commercial and industrial lighting applications.

For the technology preview, DLA technology is incorporated into a low-cost module that combines control, sensing, and wireless networking, and allows fixtures to be managed by LightRules, Digital Lumens’ web-based software platform for intelligent lighting control. DLA technology makes ordinary LED fixtures intelligent, controllable and radically more energy efficient. Adding DLA-based control to a well-designed LED fixture can reduce that fixture’s energy usage by up to 90%; in a retrofit scenario against traditional light sources, this can translate into a 10x increase in energy savings, cutting project payback period in half.
 
A key part of this strategy involves the creation of an open, standards-based control interface that will enable the lighting industry to take advantage of the digital nature of LED lighting – replacing legacy interfaces with a bi-directional, low-cost, and extensible protocol. Companies interested in participating should contact the Digital Lumens strategic partner program.
