# Lighting Controls

## Information

### Methods

> [!info] Lighting Control Technologies
> * Triac (Line voltage dim)
> * Analog (0-10V dim)
> * Digital
> * Wireless

All these control methods are likely to appear in drawings.

#### 0-10V Dimming

In conduit:

```
Southwire 64350501
SIMpull® 16/2 Low Voltage Signal Cable, Blue
```

This method is compliant with NEC 725.136(I)(1),
which allows control circuits to share a raceway with power conductors
if either all of the power conductors or all of the control conductors
are themselves in a raceway,
or in metal-sheathed, metal-clad, non–metallic-sheathed, or Type UF cable.

## Conventions

> [!info] "Local Control" as a PDI proposal qualification
> The term "local control only" is sometimes used to indicate
> no consideration for _any_ lighting control beyond standard devices,
> (with `$D`'s being the triac type)
> however, this phrasing is ambiguous and non-universal.
> Confirm with the bid team on what must be included.

## Scope

### Designations

#### Custom Switch Boxes

For switch combinations not in `COMMON ASSEMBLIES`,
create heating designations based on the most similar.
