Adaptive Wall Packs at UC Davis

Last June UC Davis replaced 101 static HPS and MH wall packs with adaptive LED wall packs by Philips, equipping them with outdoor motion sensors by WattStopper and networked controls from Lumewave. Along with streetlights and post-top luminaires, the wall packs were incorporated into the Adaptive Campus Control System at UC Davis, via an RF network that provides campus-wide lighting control.

CALCTP Goes National

Published: Mon, 03/18/2013

More than 1,800 electricians have graduated from the California Advanced Lighting Controls Training Program (CALCTP), a rigorous course of study that prepares electricians to install state-of-the-art lighting control solutions. Last year CALCTP was awarded a grant from the California Workforce Investment Board, and the program has proven to be so successful that it is now being adopted in other states as the National Advanced Lighting Controls Training Program (NALCTP).
