What is a distinguishing feature of a centralized intelligent lighting control system?

• The system is programmed and controlled using software that resides on a central server or the Cloud

• Energy consumption, occupancy and potentially other data can be measured and stored for analysis

• Luminaire/Zone status can be monitored, potentially with alarm notifications

• All of the above

Which of the below control strategies is enacted using a light sensor (photosensor)?

A lighting controller is a ______.

• Control device that saves energy

• A control input device

• Centralized mechanism such as operating software residing on a server

• Microprocessor or logic circuit that makes control output decisions

What is a distinguishing feature of a networked control system?

• Each zone requires a separate low-voltage wiring run back to a control panel

• All control points communicate wirelessly using radio waves

• Lighting controllers are networked enabling addressable control points that can be grouped and programmed
