About nLight
A Single Lighting Controls Platform for Indoor &
Outdoor Spaces
nLight® is a distributed intelligence, lighting control
platform that offers wired and wireless control products.
Luminaires, sensors, switches, and other control devices
create one solution that aids in code compliance,
energy reduction, and advanced network capabilities.
Ideal for any application, small to large, indoor to
outdoor, nLight offers lighting controls that scale from
one room to an entire floor, from one floor to an entire
building, and from one building to an entire campus.
The chart below is an overview of the Code Requirements for Common Building Spaces. Please use this information as a guide.
For specific ASHRAE code requirements please refer to the ASHRAE 90.1–2019 code.

Requirement Provision
nLight WallPod devices provide a user with local control of lighting within an nLight controlled space.
WallPods are available in multiple styles — each with varying features and user experiences.
Traditional tactile buttons and LED user feedback. Full-color touch screen provides a sophisticated look and feel.
Individual nLight control groups (i.e.: rooms) can be easily networked together across an entire building simply by connecting them into a
“backbone” made up of one or more nLight bridge devices and/or nLight AIR adapters and an nLight ECLYPSE™ system controller. The system
controller provides programmable time clock functionality for an nLight network as well as interfaces to the SensorView suite of web-based software
applications (via an Ethernet LAN / WAN connection).
Additional benefits of installing an nLight backbone include remote status monitoring, system-wide configuration changes, optional building
management system integration, and optional automated demand response through OpenADR 2.0a.
