than other school buildings and can positively influence the quality of the teaching and learning. Imagine if the designer of such a school were to overlook the possibilities of the lighting scheme and neglected the lighting controls in this way?
Lighting options available to all Of course, not all lighting schemes have the benefit of a dedicated designer. It’s one of my firm beliefs that it’s equally important that anyone involved in choosing lighting controls has the best information about all the options at their disposal. Electrical contractors may well be faced with a dreaded ‘dot on the plan,’ meaning it is up to
them to interpret which sensors to use. Daunting perhaps in a new build, and all too often when carrying out a refit, the temptation is to simply replace the sensors, like with like. This holds two risks: the original sensor may be outdated so there may now be a much better one for the job, and also if the function of the room has changed the previous sensor may not be the right one. In this instance it is much better for a lighting contractor to be equipped with their own knowledge of lighting controls to make informed decisions. BEG provides a free design service, to help take it from a dot to a particular sensor recommendation. Wholesalers too hold a huge responsibility to
help their customers understand the suitability of the different products available. At BEG Lighting Controls we offer free training to wholesalers, so they have an ‘expert’ on hand in each branch to advise on the finer points of which products are most suited to the needs of a particular project when an electrical contractor walks into their stores with a question about controls. Lighting controls have made such huge advancements in recent years, and can offer such an exciting array of features, it’s time the systems were the headline of lighting design, rather than simply a footnote, or a dot.

Classrooms may benefit from some of the most advanced
lighting control technology available, and actually subliminally influence the teaching experience.
