A new device called Zone Control, from Advanced Bridging Technologies, allows you the freedom to wirelessly control multiple zones of your low voltage landscape lighting from up to 500 feet away.Unlike the old methods that forced you to install a second transformer, the Zone Control converts a single or multi-tap transformer into a multi-zone control center.It allows the consumer to control all the zones at the same time or up to 3 individual zones separately. This way lighting can remain on in certain areas while being turned off in adjoining zones.
Zone Control is compatible with all major landscape lighting transformers; it comes equipped with a 10 year backup battery and built-in real-time clock that adjusts for daylight savings.It is easy to install and also offers additional energy savings to the consumer by further reducing light hours of operation.This product is a wonderful addition to low voltage landscape lighting systems worth checking out!
In an age where energy conservation is of utmost importance, it is our responsibility as professionals to make conscious choices to best conserve our world’s resources.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, making improvements to lighting is one of the fastest ways to cut energy bills. They estimate the average household dedicates 11% of its energy budget to lighting, while the average commercial building dedicates 20%-30%. By utilizing the new lighting technologies available today, consumers could reduce their lighting energy use by 50% to 75%. Additional energy savings could be achieved with the use of lighting control systems, thus reducing the amount of time lights are on but not being used. As well as waste disposal and maintenance costs could be greatly reduced by selecting the proper low voltage lamps and transformers.
The many benefits low voltage lighting offers in energy savings for residential and commercial environments are numerous. Click here to read some more on this topic.
