Lighting Controls

Information

[!info] Lighting Control Technologies

• Triac (Line voltage dim)
• Analog (0-10V dim)
• Digital
• Wireless

All these control methods are likely to appear in drawings.

Conventions

By PDI convention, lighting controls are generally "Electrical", not "Lighting".

[!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.
