Combination Dimmer/Vacancy Sensor from Watt Stopper/Legrand Gives Homeowners More Energy-Saving Lighting Control Options
Watt Stopper/Legrand introduces the RD-200 Dimming Wall Switch Vacancy Sensor. By combining a preset dimmer and a sensor, this
device helps homeowners enjoy the most pleasing light level for each activity and maximize energy savings 24/7.
The RD-200, which is the newest addition to Watt Stopper/Legrand’s broad line of residential vacancy sensors, complies with California Title 24 requirements. The RD-200 replaces a standard switch and users manually turn the lights on only when they are needed. Unique single-pushbutton control ensures ease of operation and longevity, eliminating fragile slide controls and removable knobs. When the lights are on, the dimming level may be adjusted manually; after the lights go off, and are turned on again, the RD-200 restores the preset lighting level.
Dimming saves energy by using less power when lights are set to lower levels, but those savings are quickly lost if incandescent lights continue to burn when they are not needed. Vacancy sensors save energy by turning lights off when a space is unoccupied. The RD-200 puts a stop to energy waste all of the time. It prevents waste when the space is vacant and minimizes power use when the space is occupied and the lights are on.
The low-profile RD-200 is available in four decorator colors with matching lenses. Features include an adjustable time delay and a backlit pushbutton for easy location in the dark. The device restores lighting if motion is sensed immediately after an automatic off. It is configured for manual-on operation, but may be set for auto-on mode if needed. In auto-on, an adjustable light level sensor is available to prevent lights from turning on if sufficient daylight is present.
California Title 24-2005 mandates that lighting in homes be high efficacy or be controlled by a manual-on vacancy sensor; a dimmer may be used in certain rooms. The dual-function RD-200 is a sensor solution acceptable for all areas.
