Features

Daylight Harvesting

Daylight Harvesting is the use of daylight to offset the use of electric lighting to light a space. If there’s enough daylight in a space, the Lightcloud Daylight can make sure the lights are turned down or off, and turn them back on when the sun goes down.

The Lightcloud Daylight automatically takes light level measurements every 10 minutes. Pressing the Device Button will make an immediate measurement. Call or email RAB, or log in to lightcloud.com to configure actions to take at different light levels, such as turning off a zone when the light level exceeds 50 foot-candles.
