Simple, Scalable, and Comprehensive Wired System
nLight® Wired is a distributed, intelligent digital networked lighting controls solution that cost-effectively integrates time-based, daylight-based, and manual lighting control through its CAT-5e low voltage connected devices. By establishing a digital communication network between connected devices, nLight creates a system that helps meet code and the demand for greater functionality while aiding in reducing energy consumption. nLight decreases installation time and the associated labor costs, making it easy to design, specify, and install.
nLight® Wired Technology
Applications
nLight Wired delivers a high-quality and reliable networked lighting controls solution for virtually any project, serving as a pillar control system in commercial office, hospitality, education, and municipal applications.
Comprehensive Product Portfolio
With an extensive portfolio of networked lighting controls, nLight Wired helps simplify and reduce installation time with its out-of-box, plug-and-play default settings. nLight Wired is ideal for nearly any space or project type and combines with nLight AIR (its wireless counterpart), providing a complete project solution for any application.
nLight Wired and the DC2DC Architecture
Acuity Brands’ DC2DC architecture provides distributed DC power to a LED lighting system, enhancing its efficiency by eliminating the need and cost to convert AC to DC power at the luminaire. nLight is at the heart of this architecture, allowing for distributed control of each zone and supporting additional nLight devices for complete networked lighting control.
The DCHUB power and controls distribution hub is a required component of the DC2DC Architecture. The DCHUB distributes DC power and control up to 1080 VA of DC-powered LED luminaires including support for either all emergency lighting or all normal lighting.
