Lighting Controls Takeoff

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

All control methods are likely to appear in drawings.

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

[!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 $Ds being the triac type) however, this phrasing is ambiguous and non-universal. Confirm with the bid team on what must be included.

Custom Switch Boxes

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