Smart Buildings are becoming more intelligent, and its integrated, network-based architecture is designed to self-regulate the building’s environment and operations, including the lighting systems. When combined with the installation of LED luminaires, this combination has become the new standard for a variety of lighting system control options.

The key integrating component is Engineered Products Company’s prefabricated Illumination Control Fixture Whip in a 3/8-inch conduit configuration. This is the most suitable and bridging component in the market to manage lighting systems control inputs for LED luminaire’s low power amperage and voltage draw.

ATTRIBUTES

• Manufactured using 3/8-inch flexible metal conduit (FMC) for 120 or 277-volt lighting systems. Includes the purple and pink jacketed control conductors.
• An integral power and lighting control component for new or retrofit LED-based lighting systems.
• Use to control the lumen output of the luminaire controls for daylight harvesting, occupancy sensors, or light timing controls.

BENEFITS

• LED luminaires draw lower operating amperage and voltage to energize LED luminaires.
• Our 3/8” Illumination Control Fixture Whip use 18-gauge, 300-volt rated conductors designed to energize and provide illumination control of LED luminaires.
• Complies with NEC Article 300.3(C) to allow multiple conductors to occupy ⅜-inch flexible metal conduit.
• Lower price, more compact configuration, and immediate job site cost savings. 

FEATURES

• Includes two (2) 90-inch jacketed 18 AWG NEMA standard illumination purple and pink lighting control conductors.
• Select from the following “external” connectors:
  • Die-Cast Snap-In Connector w/Set Screw
  • Phenolic Snap-in Connector
  • Die-Cast Type Connector w/Set Screw and Lock Nut
• Custom color configurations available.
