Product Description
Intended Audience: Lighting Practitioners, electrical engineers, architects, interior designers, related people in the built environment areas, regulatory/code, luminaire manufacturers and trades, testing labs, optical and vision experts.
Intended Interest Categories: Specifier (US), Affected (UA), Public Interest (UP), Academic, Research (GAR), Government, Regulatory (GGR), General SME (GSME), Organizational (OM) Test Equip User (TEU), Test Equip Manf (TEM).
Description: This Lighting Practice document is intended to help designers, users, commissioning providers, and other interested parties understand fundamental characteristics and purposes of lighting control systems. This includes design considerations, energy-saving strategies, equipment, and the variety of organizing protocols and methods in common usage.
The 2025 update is a complete re-organization of the standard, including a more holistic view of how and why lighting controls provide a more highly functioning building and user experience. ANSI/IES LP-6-25 introduces important concepts from ANSI/IES LP-16-22 Lighting Practice: Documenting Control Narratives and Sequences of Operations, as well as ANSI/IES LP-8-20 Lighting Practice: The Commissioning Process Applied to Lighting and Control Systems. The update represents the definitive equivalent of a Lighting Controls Handbook in the breadth and scope. This updated standard is completely refreshed with new content, including cybersecurity & controls, identification of “NEBs” (non-energy benefits), such as Spectral tunability, quality considerations, wellness/optimal circadian effects, preservation of design integrity, optimized space zoning, effective lighting equipment maintenance, demand response, reduced light pollution, receptacle control and asset tracking.
