Lighting Control Systems

When you flip a light switch, you control the lighting within a small area. Imagine being able to do the same for your entire floor, office, building, city bridge, home...

This is the simple genius of lighting control systems, allowing you to quickly, and easily dictate the specific lighting settings of your unique space—whether indoor or outdoor, commercial or residential, architectural or theatrical. Modern technology takes this concept further—intelligent, network-based advanced lighting control systems (ALCs) allow you to control your lighting in intricate detail using your cell phone, computer, or tablet…from anywhere in the world.

At PORT, we specialize in customizing, installing, and servicing these easy-to-operate advanced lighting control systems for your specific needs. Your options are virtually endless—subtle shades of white lighting, vibrant rainbows of colored lighting, wireless lighting control systems, entertainment lighting control systems, smart lighting alerts before fixtures need replacing, reminders in advance of necessary maintenance, one-of-a-kind control interfaces designed just for you, and a wide array of increasingly popular energy-efficient options.  

Your advanced lighting control system will pay for itself over time when you choose energy-saving options like LED light fixtures, daylight harvesting, occupancy sensing, shade controls, scheduling, dimming, personal controls, and—where available—demand response. Once we install your new system, we’ll stick with you for the long haul—establishing a routine maintenance and programming update schedule to ensure all components always operate seamlessly.

Our Lighting Control Systems services include:

• Building a new system from scratch—recommending our favorite top-performing products in the process

• Adjusting the functionality of your current architectural lighting control system or theatrical lighting control system—suggesting cost-effective, high-performing replacement options if your equipment is outdated

• Integration Services — quality assurance procedures to functionally test new or existing lighting control systems (sometimes referred to as "commissioning" or "retro-commissioning")

• Incorporating an ALC into your existing AV system for a more streamlined operation

Whether your project requires one or more of the above, our team of experienced lighting automation programmers, lighting systems integrators, and—when necessary—media server programmers are here to expertly get the job done. We can’t wait to get started.
