The Cost of LightingThe Cost of Lighting

Household lighting accounts for 12-15% of our household utility bill – Source: American Lighting Association

Estimates suggest 20% of all electricity produced in the United States is used for lighting but 50% is wasted by inefficient lighting sources or careless consumers– Source: Energy Conservation Enhancement Project at LSU

(Louisiana State University)

Further savings can be realized by controlling the amount wattage used by light bulbsInstalling smart lighting and smart thermostats:– Conserve electricity and save energy costs

– Extend the life of light bulbs

– Reduce Waste

Dimming Saves Energy and Extends Bulb LifeDimming Saves Energy and Extends Bulb Life

Dimming the light this much

Saves electricity Extends bulb life

10% 10% 2 times longer

25% 20% 4 times longer

50% 40% 20 times longer

75% 60% More than 20 times longer

How Does a Control4 Dimmer Save Energy?How Does a Control4 Dimmer Save Energy?

First, advanced circuitry in each dimmer can manage cycle to the lights 120 times per second – too fast for the human eye to notice but a very real saving

At Full Power

At Half Power

Second, each dimmer has a ZigBee radio and can be programmed to come on and turn off only when needed as part of whole home automation system
