Lighting for Tomorrow is a residential energy efficient lighting design competition

organized by the American Lighting Association, the Consortium for Energy

Efficiency (CEE), and UL.

Lighting for Tomorrow would like to thank the following CEE member utilities and

energy efficiency programs, who generously supported the competition by providing

funding in 2013.

2013Lighting ControLs CompEtition

www.lightingfortomorrow.com

Lighting for Tomorrow presents the best lighting control

products from the 2013 competition. the lighting control

products featured in this brochure combine innovation

with a winning design to provide high quality, energy

efficient lighting.

What are lighting controls?

the Lighting Controls portion of the 2013 competition was open to lighting control

manufacturers who make stand-alone or system-based/ whole-house lighting

control products suitable for residential applications. the submission categories

included: dimmers, motion sensors, vacancy sensors, occupancy sensors, photo

sensors, timers, combination and multiple-function devises, demand response

monitoring and evaluation devices, and “smart” controls and systems.

Why is Lighting for Tomorrow looking at lighting controls this year?

the ways that lighting controls are made, used and integrated into today’s residential

lighting systems are changing rapidly. no longer is a lighting control simply a switch

or dimmer; it’s an integral part of the lighting system to expand functionality, enhance

appearance and, more recently, to help with the effort to reduce lighting energy use.

A particular challenge for control manufacturers is the growing need to dim and

control “mixed” loads in lighting situations where incandescent, fluorescent and LED

light sources are used together. Fortunately, new industry standards are making the

task of matching controls to fixtures easie and this year’s control products proved

to be “smarter” than ever before displaying features such as self-calibration to

maximize dimming performance and internet integration to mesh with the growing

use of “apps” and personal communication devices.

Who selected the winning products?

the 2013 Lighting for Tomorrow judging panel consisted of 9 judges drawn from

various areas of the residential lighting community. the judging panel included

a diverse cross-section of experts in lighting technology, lighting sales, energy

efficiency, lighting design, and communications.

Lighting ControL WinnerMaestro® Occupancy Sensor C.L® DimmerManufacturer: Lutron Electronics Co., inc.Designer: in-house design team

the maestro occupancy sensor C.L Dimmer works with all common light bulbs

(incandescents, halogens, dimmable CFLs and dimmable LEDs) and features

ambient light detection, which means lights will only turn on if there’s not enough

sunlight filling the space. Lutron’s powerful sensing technology ensures that it will

see subjects up to 30' away and detects fine motion, so lights won’t inadvertently

go off while a person is reading or watching television. the maestro occupancy

sensor C.L Dimmer is ideal for laundry rooms, kids’ rooms, bathrooms,

basements and garages.

Product Specs: • 180° sensor field of view • Up to 30' x 30' (900 ft2) detection area • 1-, 5-, 15-, or 30-minute time-out options • Fits into standard wallbox • 150 W CFL/LED or 600 W incandescent/halogen 120V

Model Number: MSCL-OP153MH-WH

Dimensions: 4" L X 2 1/4" W

Availability: Available now in lighting showrooms, electrical distributors, home improvement centers and online.
