Question: For reasons of energy efficiency, and for other reasons, we are installing high frequency (HF) lighting fittings as standard in all new buildings and as replacements for damaged or worn-out fittings in older properties. My problem is that people are not switching lights off, so that they burn 24/7. I would like information on a lighting control PIR system that works. Have you knowledge of any?

Answer: I recommend that you use dimming HF fittings, as you will then be able to achieve further savings by adding daylight compensating devices. We have such a device called DIM MULTI. This has presence detection and daylight compensating sensor. I have attached Technical literature on it.
