Lighting, heating and cooling
account for nearly 75% of all
electricity usage
Lighting also adds to HVAC load
and most of lighting energy
wasted
Heating and cooling still based
on schedules and set points
instead of occupancy
Opportunity for networked
granular control to track
occupancy and save energy
LEDs Highlight The Need For Control Systems
 Very long life (50,000 hrs)
 Lower maintenance cost
 Small heat footprint
 Cost dropping dramatically
 Super efficient digital light
 Dimmable and controllable

LED – Fluorescent Comparison
Dimming Comparison
Fluorescent Lighting
• Dimming efficacy poor and

worsens over dimming curve
Requires dimming ballast
Dimming shortens lamp life
FL lifetime 7,000-50,000 hours
Bulbs are hazardous material
LED Lighting
• LED efficacy improves dramatically

when dimmed and no dimming
ballast required
Dimming, on/off lengthens LED life
Major LED suppliers are increasing
life estimates from 50,000 to
100,000 hours
Redwood extends LED life to over
100K hours by running less than
100%, dimming, turning off
