Network Lighting Controls FAQs and Solutions

Understanding the Networked Lighting Controls Qualified Products List

The Networked Lighting Controls Qualified Products List (QPL) is a curated list that showcases systems meeting specific technical requirements for networked lighting controls. This list serves as a reference for manufacturers seeking validation of their control systems.

Benefits of Qualifying on the QPL

Manufacturers should submit their systems for qualification on the QPL to gain credibility, visibility, and recognition in the market. Having a listing on the NLC QPL demonstrates adherence to industry standards and technical excellence.

System Eligibility and Technical Requirements

Zoning is crucial in cases where each fixture has an occupancy sensor to ensure effective lighting control. Energy monitoring necessitates the ability to disaggregate energy-saving feature usage time for detailed analysis.

Submitting Applications and Listing Fees

When submitting an application for system qualification, the process involves understanding whether the LED luminaire manufacturer or the lighting control manufacturer should initiate the submission. Listing fees are a one-time cost for listing a system on the QPL.

Utility Incentives and Support

Exploring different levels of qualification for varying rebates or incentives can enhance the adoption of networked lighting controls. Addressing challenges like the Catch-22 situation regarding pre-qualification rebate availability is essential for incentivizing system installations.
