Counter lighting of the sun
Article Abstract:
PCI Lighting Controls' Watchkeeper 32 lighting control system allows the corporate headquarters of Herman Miller SQA in Holland, MI, to automate lighting to compensate for an increase or decrease in daylight. The center was designed to use daylight for a significant part, but the extensive use of glass necessitated the use of a lighting control system. The Watchkeeper system consists of up to 32 relays from a single logic panel that can be connected to up to 255 lighting control panels.
