Lighting is the second largest user of electricity in commercial buildings — and the third largest in homes. P&S Lighting Controls put you in command of that energy consumption, enabling you to cut usage and save money.
SAVE WITH P&S DIMMERS
P&S Dimmers turn power on and off 120 times per second, varying the percentage of the time power is actually flowing to lamps. The greater the off time, the lower the light intensity, and the greater the energy savings. Dimming enables lamps to run cooler, so they last much longer for additional savings.
| Light Level | Electricity Saved |
Lamp Life Extended |
|---|---|---|
| 90% | 10% | 2x |
| 75% | 20% | 4x |
| 50% | 40% | 20x |
| 25% | 60% | Greater than 20x |
SAVE WITH P&S SENSORS
People often forget to turn off lights, but P&S Sensors always remember — so lights never stay on very long once a room’s unoccupied.

SAVE WITH P&S TIMERS
P&S Timers are ideal for electrical loads that need to keep running for a predictable interval — with an automatic shut-off that doesn’t require people to be present or remember.
| Common Timer Applications* | ||
|---|---|---|
| Device | Daily Run Time | Monthly Savings |
| Pool Pump, 1 hp | 12 hrs instead of 24 hrs | $35 |
| Block Heater, 1500 Watts | 2 hrs instead of 12 hrs | $40 |
| Quartz Floodlight, 500 Watts | 4 hrs instead of 12 hrs | $11 |
