Lighting-control CPD

Legrand, lighting control

Legrand has prepared a CPD presentation that explains the impact of power distribution systems on lighting-control functionality and flexibility. Entitled ‘Delivering flexibility and control to commercial lighting solutions’ it discusses the cost and flexibility implications of different options for power distribution — including traditional hard wired, prefabricated cable systems and busbar systems.

The CPD examines the cost and flexibility implications of each option on a whole life installed-cost basis, factoring in upgrade from Cat A to Cat B fit-out and long-term changes in occupier requirements and technology. It also explains why there has been a growth in the use of DALI controls.
