I have been trying to figure out some ways to get by on some of these, as I soon will have to mandate it to customers. (Our Inspectors enforce title-24 at final.)
All of the dimmers is just a "Cha-ching"$
Baths are going to be hairy, but I think I have that figured out. (Without changing out fixtures) Now bear in mind, (Little black bear this time.) the occ. sensor has to be done in a certain way. It can't be a simple sense movement an it's on, it has to be turned on manually, after motion is sensed. Which means to cover this, you need a latching relay after the occ. sensor, or other lighting control contactor. And I'm checking into a motion controlled/enabled Graffic Eye. This will cover the "Low Efficiancy" lighting,(Cha-ching$) and your "High Efficiancy" too. Now the kicker.... It say "50%", it doesn't say you can't put 5000watts of lighting in. So you put in all of you regular "Low Efficiancy" decorative fixtures. Then you match the wattage of them in 32W flouresant cans, you might need 30 or so (Cha-ching$) for the average bath to equal those 2 Italian Halogens the customer demanded as vanity fixtures. Now you have 30 six inch holes in the cieling for your wall to wall flouresant cans. And its all controlled by the Graffic Eye. So you have one scene for Inspection, (Sir, please don you goggles.) and the other scene for actual use by the customer. I know this plan needs some work, but we still have a little time....
