Welcome to LEDs Magazine’s Connected SSL & Controls newsletter for Oct. 9, 2023. In this month’s edition, DALI Alliance general manager Paul Drosihn enlightens readers on the flexibility that wired and wireless architectures offer alongside the standardized, bidirectional communications enabled via DALI solutions.

Meanwhile, energy code may spur the adoption of lighting controls systems to further increase the energy-saving benefits of new LED lighting installations. So it’s important to stay on top of reference standards, plan around requirements for energy code compliance, and changes that dictate how and when certain types of control devices can be used.

Finally, the organizers launching the first NYControlled event have summarized educational opportunities that await attendees in November; Glamox is seeking a new data-oriented executive; and a sports facility upgrades its player and fan experience with state-of-the-art controls by Cosmicnode.

Please stay in touch about content we publish and to propose contributed articles.
