Handy Watt Stopper/Legrand Guide Helps Readers Understand Energy-Saving Opportunities Available by Using Residential Lighting Controls

Watt Stopper/Legrand has published a compact application guide clearly depicting the energy saving benefits of residential lighting controls. The new “Quick Guide to Reducing Lighting Energy Use at Home” includes a wealth of product and application information, presented in simple terms and illustrated with photographs and diagrams. Electrical contractors and distributors as well as DIY homeowners will find it a helpful reference that is convenient to have in a truck, at a sales counter, or on a shopping trip.

Watt Stopper’s new guide describes the potential savings available to homeowners by replacing standard wall switches with controls that automatically turn lights off when a room is empty.

eaders can browse through the guide to learn how these controls – including vacancy sensors, occupancy sensors and time switches – operate, and where to use them.

The guide shows why different types of controls are best suited to spaces with particular characteristics. Application examples include bedrooms, bathrooms, family rooms, hallways, stairwells, laundry rooms, closets, garages, spas and outdoor lighting. Convenient control options – including sensors with integral nightlights or dimmers, three-way sensors, dual relay sensors for switching two loads, and programmable time switches – are also explained.

Readers craving technical details will appreciate the supporting information on side two of the guide, titled “Quick Guide to Selecting and Installing Home Lighting Controls.” Included is a brief explanation of how sensors detect occupancy, helpful information on wiring sensors complete with diagrams, and guidelines for adjusting controls for optimal performance.

By consolidating the basic information about residential controls into one guide, Watt Stopper helps readers cut though the clutter of information to quickly find the answers they need.

The guide is available by contacting Watt Stopper/Legrand at 800.879.8585 and a PDF version can be found online at www.wattstopper.com.
