A Simple Way to Go Green: New Wireless Occupancy Sensor from Lutron.Innovative Device that's Easy to Install for Easy Energy Savings COOPERSBURG, Pa. -- The path to energy efficient lighting takes another step forward with the introduction of the Wireless Occupancy Sensor from Lutron Electronics Co., Inc. Providing a simple way to go green, the innovative sensor is specifically designed for easy installation in conference rooms, copy rooms, small offices, classrooms, living rooms, bedrooms, restrooms, and other spaces where automatic lighting shut-off is desirable. It installs in minutes. Simply place the sensor on the ceiling and replace your standard light switch with a compatible Lutron dimmer dim·mer n. 1.

It has user-replaceable batteries, designed to last up to 10 years. For flexible and scalable energy-saving retrofits, up to 10 dimmers or switches can communicate with a sensor via radio frequency, and users can add up to 3 sensors for superior coverage. The sensor saves energy by turning lights off when a room is unoccupied. Each Lutron Wireless Occupancy Sensor can save up to $85.00 a year.* What's more, using a compatible Lutron dimmer, with the sensor, allows you to automatically turn lights on to a dimmed dim adj. dim·mer, dim·mest 1. a.

The Lutron Wireless Occupancy Sensor can be programmed to operate as an occupancy sensor (automatic-on and automatic-off functionality) or a vacancy sensor (manual-on and automatic-off functionality). A vacancy-only model is also available to meet the California Title 24 Energy Efficiency Standard requirements. The Wireless Occupancy Sensor is compatible with the Lutron Maestro (1) (Maestro NT) An earlier name for scheduling software for Windows NT from Tivoli Systems, Inc.

Lutron products save energy and extend the life of a light bulb bulb, thickened, fleshy plant bud, usually formed under the surface of the soil, which carries the plant over from one blooming season to another. It may have many fleshy layers (as in the onion and hyacinth) or thin dry scales (as in some lilies)—both of which , making them an eco-friendly addition to the home and office. *Actual savings may vary depending on use and application. Stated savings based on 1200W lighting load, 20% occupancy sensor savings, 14 operating hours per day for 250 days, and an average electricity cost of $0.102/kWh. Dimming adds additional savings.
