ConnSet®

Task tuning is called by several names including “high-end trim” or institutional tuning”, is a strategy of adjusting your lighting to the IES recommended lighting levels required by your space. Most commercial spaces are overlit, though you may not even realize it. Task tuning provides the opportunity to dim the lights to a more appropriate level and save money in the process. 

This can be especially beneficial for commercial facilities because not only does task tuning reduce lighting expenses and save on energy consumption, but it also provides the appropriate levels of light needed for workers. The lighting can still be dimmed by other strategies, such as manual control and daylight harvesting, but the task tuning is capped, resulting in permanent energy savings.

Talking to your electrician about task tuning is a good way to achieve better lighting in your space and while to save your wallet.

Also called “institutional tuning” and “task tuning”, high-end trim involves reducing lighting in a space based on IES-recommended maintained task light level requirements or user preference for individual spaces rather than the originally designed maintained light levels, which may be higher than needed.

Field-adjustable fixtures are LED products where the installer can set a specific light output, wattage, and even color temperature on site. They are different from the traditional controllable / dimmable fixtures most people are familiar with, rather than the user dynamically adjusting the light level or color temperature, these fixtures are typically set once during installation and left that way.  Field-adjustable  fixtures typically have a DIP switch or jumper on them to customize the light.

Two of the largest investments in the distribution business are inventory and space to store that inventory. ConnSet® technology allow for drastic working-capital reductions, as well as increasing the turns on the SKUs that are being stocked. This also can eliminate a great deal of returns as a good percentage of returns to a distributor are because of lumen output changes that are needed.

Electrical contractors save time by using ConnSet® wire connector. Some contractors have told us they have eliminated site audits for small/medium projects and simply ask the client how many troffers or strips are needed. They know that with ConnSet® parts they can on-site tune fixtures to any lumen or watt needs. They also spend less time going back to jobsites due to unhappy property owners. Electrical contractors can schedule their time more accurately because they know they will be able to complete a job in one trip – every time.

Facility owners get the ability to see what different light outputs look like in their space. But most people outside of lighting industry don’t know what 5400lm or 7200lm represent or what the difference even is. However, when they are shown in a space and asked if a setting is bright enough or too bright – and then adjustments are made on the spot – there is a higher likelihood they are happy with the end product. They are also more likely to get their project done on time because the products have a greater chance of being in stock and the contractor can complete the job on the first trip.
