Energy Efficient Lighting Control
MK Electric’s lighting management systems deliver energy savings
MK Electric, the UK’s leading manufacturer of wiring devices
and accessories, has a comprehensive range of innovative
lighting controls – MK Sensors – designed to deliver energy
savings and lighting usage management in a wide range of
commercial applications. Lighting represents, on average, up
to 40% of a building’s total energy consumption; and also the
largest opportunity for energy savings.
MK Sensors not only help realise the highest potential savings
in energy consumption, and thus to energy bills; but also offer
the shortest payback periods when compared to means such as
diffuser replacement and lamp type changes.
The MK Sensor range deploys three main types of sensor
technology – namely Passive Infra Red (PIR), Microwave and
Ultrasonic – in a variety of devices configured for ceiling or
corner mounting; as well as long range detection.
All products in the MK Sensors range have a built-in photocell,
providing occupancy and light level detection. The range is also
complemented by a host of accessories and ancillaries – such
as programmers and controllers – which combine to make MK
Sensors easy to install, easy to understand and easy to use.
Awareness of environmental issues and the need to reduce
carbon dioxide emissions has increased considerably in recent
years. With various government targets in mind, and the ever-
growing issues and concerns around energy consumption,
the environment and sustainability; it is now essential that
contractors, specifiers and building managers alike appreciate
the effect lighting sensors can have on the efficiency and
environmental impact of buildings.
Ceiling mounted sensors comprise a choice of:
l
Simple Fit PIR
l
Standard PIR
l
Superior PIR
l
Ultrasonic + Microwave Detectors
