Every Thoughtful Controls Strategy Results in Less kWh Consumption

Efficiency & Efficacy, Improving kWh Consumption, Pdf Post /

Dear Reader: There are two ways to lessen the kWh consumption of your lighting system: 1. install higher efficacy LED fixtures, and 2. include a control system. One (new fixtures) involves a smaller kW draw than your existing system, and the other (controls) results in less time the new fixture will be ‘on’ as compared
