Remarks:

Together, DEMANDflex ballasts and DCL controls represent the most cost-effective lighting system available today. DCL controls allow for local control with energy management systems and external control via the Internet with networked managed systems, as well as integration with utility demand response programs. DCL lighting controls can reduce power levels as needed by as much as 50 percent, providing significant demand level and usage reductions.

Primary Usage:

Because there are no ballast control wires, DEMANDflex ballasts are ideal for both retrofit and new construction applications. DEMANDflex ballasts can be initially installed and tuned to specific power levels during a lighting retrofit with DCL control capabilities added at a later date.
