# 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.
