The Varilume Powerline Control System provides energy savings of up to 70% compared to traditional lighting systems, combined with the low installation costs of using your existing AC power lines.

Energy savings occur from using the advanced control capabilities in the DimSoft software. Each light fixture, office area or building can be controlled separately and each can exploit a variety of control strategies to save energy. The following table shows strategies that can be applied and the range of savings that each can provide.

Most buildings will see a 40% to 50% savings on their lighting energy costs. Assuming that lighting consumes approximately 40% of the total electrical requirements in a building, the Varilume Powerline Control Systems can save as much as 20% of the total electrical load in the building. The payback period, depending upon the current building lighting is often in 2 to 4 years, or an R.O.I. of 25% to 50%.
