Legrand UK & Ireland, a manufacturer of electrical and digital building infrastructure equipment, has introduced a new lighting control platform designed for complex buildings, including commercial offices, hospitals, sports venues, and other large infrastructure projects.
The platform, known as Wattstopper PLUS and powered by Encelium technology, supports both wired and wireless DALI-2 configurations.
It is compatible with Legrand’s CP Electronics sensors and can be implemented across new or existing developments, including hybrid systems where buildings may be added or extended over time.
Wattstopper PLUS supports all DALI dimmable and non-dimmable luminaires, making it suitable for both new-build and retrofit applications.
The platform has also been developed to meet the requirements of Approved Document L, Volume 2, by providing energy usage data in a format that aligns with statutory reporting obligations.
One notable feature is the ability to carry out a large portion of the commissioning process off-site. This is made possible through a virtual database that replicates the physical system layout, allowing early configuration work and reducing the likelihood of disruption during construction or renovation phases.
Russell Vanstone, Product Manager, Connected Buildings at Legrand UK & Ireland, comments, “Meeting the needs of occupants with quality lighting that continually adjusts according to changing conditions through the day can have a major impact on both wellbeing and energy consumption.
“Getting lighting right is critical to the success of any major development or renovation project.
“Wattstopper PLUS draws upon Legrand’s decades of experience in lighting [and] digital building products, including sensor technologies, to deliver a high-end lighting system that caters for projects with the most stringent demands for quality lighting controls.”
Legrand provides project support from early-stage design through to post-installation servicing. This includes layout planning, system integration advice, logistics coordination, on-site and remote commissioning, and long-term technical support.
The company will demonstrate Wattstopper PLUS and other Connected Buildings solutions at LiGHT25, where it will be exhibiting at stand T14.
