3 Advantages of using Occupancy Sensors

Traditionally, the interior design light operations were limited to simple switch controls and had monotonous functioning. However, the lighting domain in this modern era has undergone numerous technological advancements.

According to the leading commercial lighting manufacturers, novel ideas and innovations have taken the industry by storm, leading to the introduction of state-of-the-art lighting designs, ultra-modern lighting controls, and supremely efficient lighting solutions.

Wipro Lighting pioneered in the field of energy management systems in 2002. It introduced smart lighting controls along with a range of occupancy and dimming sensors that encouraged efficiency, convenience and style.

An occupancy sensor is a smart lighting control solution that detects motion in a space and automatically controls the light. These sensors were primarily introduced for commercial applications but gradually gained popularity in households due to their multiple benefits.  

Here are some advantages of using occupancy sensors in commercial spaces:      

1.     Boost Energy Efficiency

The cost of electricity is one of the major expenses that all workplace authorities have to bear. However, installation of occupancy sensors can help them in significantly reducing the bill amounts. As mentioned earlier, occupancy sensors work upon the motion detection technology. They activate lighting after the identification of an occupant and switch them off automatically when the occupant leaves the room. This prevents unnecessary consumption of electricity and saves money. According to the top LED lighting manufacturers, occupancy sensors not only enhance user comfort but also encourage energy efficiency. Furthermore, it is believed that they can increase savings by almost 35%.

2.     Elevate Convenience and Comfort

One of the primary benefits of an occupancy sensor is that it aids in the development of a convenient and comforting environment around the space. It eliminates the need of flickering and sloppy light switches and automates the whole process to make things easier. For instance, it also prevents people from facing unlikely situations in which they feel troubled while finding light switches in a dark space. Furthermore, occupancy sensors can be used alongside dimming sensors for regulating luminaires in order to maintain uniform and comforting lighting levels.      

3.     Versatile Functioning  

Versatility is one of the most overlooked characteristics of smart occupancy sensors. According to lighting experts, occupancy sensors can be optimized to control other switch-operated electronic appliances and equipment like fans and space heaters. This eventually helps one to save more money on the utility bills.

Using occupancy sensors improves the functioning and the environment of commercial workspaces. One can choose best-in-class ESavvy and Esense range of occupancy sensors made available by one of the top LED manufacturers in India, Wipro Lighting.

3. Five favorite writers

Oh man, this is tough. But I shall try, though this will by no means be a comprehensive list! In no particular order:

wardolope/thisissirius (I love her prose, and the stories she tells, and the way they move me)

formerlydf (I haven't even read much of her fic at all, but holy crap the stuff I've read was just incredible. I don't even really know how to explain it, but everything just flowed perfectly and was incredibly moving)

ellot (lovely, lovely writing, and great characters)

carrole (she can write things that no one else can!)

indecentexposed (lovely writing and all the feelings)

4. Five favorite stories?

HAHAHAHA I'M NOT SURE YOU UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH I READ. For serious, though, I could give you five "favorite" stories from what I've read this week. Actually, I'm just going to do that. For shits and giggles. Again, in no particular order:

Second Person Plural by alexandraptor. AI RPF, Katy/Kris/Adam, PG-13. Really, it's just super charming and adorable.

the stars and sea, by formerlydf. Figure Skating RPF, Johnny/Evan. I know next to nothing about this fandom or this pairing, but I had a lot of feelings.

(this is) not a statement by seperis. AI RPF, Kris/Adam, NC-17 (I think). My pinboard summary for this is "what do I usually do with my hands," so, you know, a lot of feelings and joy and :D

watch the lights go wild by amysnakehole. TSN, Mark/Eduardo, PG-13. Five people the press thought Mark was dating and one he actually was. Super charming.

the fairytale of silicon valley by wardolope. TSN, Mark/Eduardo, R for themes (not sex). Eduardo runs to Mark's side (probably against his better judgement). Lots of feelings.

15. Give me five ways to win you over with a fic!

Good prose. I cannot even emphasize this enough, omg. If the story has good prose, I will slog through so much other crap. I will read things I know nothing about just to appreciate the prose.

Character development. I like it when people change and learn more about themselves!

Pining, oh my gosh. I have such a weakness for pining. And the pining doesn't necessarily mean that they're not together in some form, just that they want more from the relationship than they're getting. See: enjoyment of fake dating/fake married and soulbonding tropes. Or just straight-up pining. Writing this is making me want to reread pining fic.

A lot of feelings. Whether it's the characters having them, or the story creating them in me, I don't care. If a lot of feelings are had, I will probably enjoy the story.

Idiots who don't realize they're in love with each other. I have no explanations for this, but I love it a lot.
