Lighting control panels manage a wide range of lighting systems, including emergency, safety, security, street, highway, parking lot, yard, and general‑purpose lighting. These panels support multiple control methods—such as photocells, motion sensors, sound sensors, timers, PLC logic, or lighting management systems—to ensure lights operate only when required. Control Innovations supplies lighting control panels that accommodate all common lighting technologies and provide reliable power switching through lighting contactors or solid‑state relays.
Lighting control panels provide centralized switching, monitoring, and automation for indoor and outdoor lighting systems. They support a variety of control inputs and lighting types, allowing facilities to manage energy use, safety lighting, and scheduled illumination from a single, organized panel.
