As networked lighting controls (NLCs) become more common in commercial and industrial buildings, so do questions surrounding these systems and how to best use them to apply lighting control strategies. 

5 Basic Networked Lighting Control Strategies:

1. Dimming: Dimming is the process of incrementally reducing the light  output of a fixture to produce a smooth visual transition.

2. High End Trim  High end trim, sometimes referred to as ‘task tuning’, is the process of setting the  maximum light level that the space occupant or everyday user can access.

3. Occupancy/Vacancy Sensing  Occupancy/vacancy sensing is the process of using devices that detect human  presence (occupancy), or the absence of human presence (vacancy), to turn on or off  the lights in a space.

4. Scheduling Scheduling is the process of turning lighting on or off according to predetermined times  of day or night.

5. Daylight Harvesting Daylight harvesting, also known as daylight dimming, or simply daylighting, is the process  of lowering electric lighting levels in response to available natural light from a window or  skylight, with the goal of maintaining a steady minimum light level.
