The Lighting Controls Association is proud to offer a sneak peak at a selection of new products that will be displayed by members at LIGHTFAIR International May 5-7 in New York City. While some can be seen here, many more await at member booths, so be sure to visit!
CREE, INC.
Cree, Inc. recently introduced SmartCast™ Technology, a self-programming wireless lighting-control system that reduces energy consumption by more than 70% (compared to traditional fluorescent luminaires without SmartCast Technology), at half the cost of traditional lighting controls. Intuitive and easy to use, luminaires enabled with Cree SmartCast Technology remove the initial and ongoing complexity associated with lighting controls.
Featuring Cree’s OneButton™ Setup, luminaires enabled with SmartCast Technology create their own secure network, learn about their environment and form groups to maximize savings, all with the push of a single button.
Cree SmartCast Technology is currently available in CR Series LED troffers, CS Series linear luminaires and KR Series downlights, as well as via a 0–10V interface for control of existing dimmable LED luminaires. These critical features not only save users energy and money but are compliant with emerging code requirements throughout the United States and Canada.

PLC MULTIPOINT
PLC Multipoint has recently expanded upon the company’s highly successful Bantam platform. With the addition of up to 48 relays of control, the Bantam Lighting Control Panel is suitable for small, medium and large applications. Customers that have specified the Bantam for their lighting control needs have found the simple LCD and integral keypad interface to be easy to use. In addition, having up to 4 analog inputs that are pre-programmed makes the Bantam ideal for daylighting applications.
PLC Multipoint began offering a basic 8-relay panel, but found that customers were looking to control an increasing number of loads. The Bantam can now be specified with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 relays in a single enclosure. In addition to the Analog inputs, the Bantam supports up to 48 low-voltage inputs which are commonly used for override switches or occupancy sensors. To reduce the cost of wiring and to simplify installation, customers can also choose to use digital switches.
PLC Multipoint now also offers the LCM5 to its customers. This basic lighting control panel is based on PLC’s more than 20 years of lighting control experience. It is tailored to the needs of the light commercial market and is an ideal solution for gas stations and convenience store locations.
The LCM5 can control multiple outputs from a single analog sensor input. These outputs can be associated with different lighting levels based on zones, tasks, and timers. PLC Multipoint offers the ability to preprogram each panel per customer requirements, while changes can be made through a simple LCD interface to the Digital Time Clock. The customer can program up to 5 zones of control and the panel comes with 3 override switches on the front panel. Each panel is fully customizable.

WATTSTOPPER
New WattStopper® Wireless Receptacle Controls (WRC) extend occupancy-based lighting control to plug loads, helping specifiers and installers meet new ASHRAE 90.1 and Title 24 requirements to switch off selected receptacles. This simple, yet robust solution works with existing line-voltage wiring, minimizing costs for retrofits or new construction.
WRC transmitters are available to work with all WattStopper occupancy sensors, including Digital Lighting Management (DLM) sensors. The transmitters send occupancy status to 15- or 20-Amp controlled receptacles, available and with one or two switched outlets. Controlled receptacles feature NEMA-approved labeling, and have feed thru capability for downstream control of additional outlets.
WattStopper’s industry-leading Digital Lighting Management (DLM) intelligent control platform now extends to individual fixtures, enabling complete zone control flexibility.
New fixture controllers help specifiers and installers adapt projects to meet changing requirements without having to rewire lighting, and allow OEMs to supply DLM-enabled fixtures. The controllers, which offer 0-10V or PWM dimming, simplify manufacturing, with a separate RJ45 wiring whip for flexible mounting options.
A new zone controller supports applications with large numbers of fixture controllers for both occupancy- and time-based control. The zone controller also simplifies event scheduling, enhancing DLM’s ability to enable advanced sequences of operation.
