LED Lighting Systems

Build smarter, more affordable solutions by adding Echelon controls.

LED lights are already a smart choice for lighting: They use as much as 90 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs with the same lumen output, and last 50 to 100 times longer. But adding Echelon’s control technology to LED lighting systems lets you exploit the true power of LED lights — enhancing functionality, lowering installation and system costs, and ultimately, increasing business opportunities.

Benefits of Adding Echelon Controls

Whether you integrate our Pyxos platform or our LonWorks Power Line technology into your LED lighting system, you'll enjoy these benefits:

Flexible Lighting Environments. Change the color and intensity of light emitted from a single lighting fixture quickly and affordably. Create dynamic scenes and experience ambient lighting in a whole new way.

Reduced Installation and System Costs. Lighting system designers can work with LEDs without costly integration tools and services. Electricians can install lighting systems without any PC-based network tools, thanks to the self-organizing feature within the Pyxos networking protocol and the Interoperable Self-Installation (ISI) feature included in LonWorks Power Line networks. And consumers can finally create complex lighting scenarios with push-button ease, without needing technicians or network management tools.

Automatic Fault Detection. With two-way communication, system faults can be detected and fixed as soon as they occur.

LED Lighting Control Applications

Here are some of the ways you can apply Echelon controls to LED lighting systems. Which technology you use depends on your power and bandwidth requirements, as well as whether your project is new or a retrofit.

Architectural/Outdoor Lighting

Enhance building and landscape appearance with multiple color scenes. Receive instant maintenence alerts when service is required.
