  New Blinds And Energy Management From Lutron Control System

By David Richards | Wednesday | 03/09/2008

Lutron Electronics has announced a major upgrade to their GRAFIK Eye lighting control system with a more advanced user interface that delivers automatic control of motorised shades and curtains, enabling daylight sensing and corresponding energy savings.

From a wall-mounted control or an infrared, wireless remote control, Lutron claim that the new GRAFIK Eye QS can transform a room into a number of natural or artificially lit scenes that have been pre-programmed into the system. It also comes with Real-time energy saving measurement

For monitoring energy consumption levels, the new GRAFIK Eye QS also includes a display screen that enables the user to see real-time energy savings achieved across the lighting system as the lamps are dimmed.

The new GRAFIK Eye QS retains the same function as the original, with as many as six lighting zones and four preset scenes available on the main preset control unit (with 16 presets available via additional wallstations), allowing built-in ease of use from the wall panel or a wireless remote. However, the two-digit LED readout of the GRAFIK Eye is replaced with a display screen that facilitates bespoke programming of the system (in various languages). Additionally, every unit has an integral astronomic time clock that allows automated control of lights and blinds relative to time of day or sunrise and sunset.
