The lighting industry has been talking about the potential health effects of lighting for several years now with no real definable benefit until now. Due to the recent COVID crisis there will be an everlasting focus on cleanliness throughout every facility you visit going forward. One of the most germ-infested surfaces in any facility is the light switch- it’s time to eliminate them for good.
Up until now the primary reasons to consider lighting controls was for energy savings, piece of mind, maintenance savings and/or the coolness factor. Those reasons are great, but they did not cause a massive adoption rate of facilities around the world. The focus on cleanliness and health concerns however will cause the massive implementation of automated lighting controls.
Sure, there will be some difficulty with spaces that need the ability for users to turn off the lights manually, but there are programs and systems that allow manual control and more without having to use a manual light switch. The light switch has served its purpose for the last 130 plus years, but it’s a new era.
There are a lot of automated lighting control options available so make sure you take the time to review and understand what is best for your application. Your solution can be as simple as a passive infrared motion sensor or as sophisticated as an advanced web-controlled automated lighting system. Either way make sure you partner with a company that knows what they are doing.
