Technical Information
Cavet's LumiSmart ILC is an adaptive lighting control solution that works with most fluorescent lighting systems. LumiSmart is installed at the circuit panel by a licensed electrician and causes minimal disruption to the work environment during installation. 
Adaptive Power Management and Power Factor Correction
Cavet's LumiSmart ILC is compatible with leading fluorescent systems including T5, T8, T12,electronic and magnetic ballasts (single phase or multiphase). The LumiSmart ILC functions on both 50Hz and 60Hz electrical systems and provides automated voltage selection for 100v, 120v, 230/240v, 277v, 347v on 15Amp or 20Amp circuits. A single LumiSmart ILC can manage lighting loads of up to 6.9Kw or up to 130 fluorescent lamps (347v , 20 Amp circuit). The product provides power savings by altering the power waveform and then applies adaptive power factor correction.
Waveform Modification
Cavet's LumiSmart ILC is protected by 2 US patents on adaptive waveform modification and 4 additional patents pending approval in the United States, Canada, Europe and other regions. LumiSmart applies waveform modification to the electrical sine wave. By inserting on-off pulses in to the sine wave, LumiSmart is able to dramatically reduce electrical consumption with minimal impact on lighting levels. Depending on the type of ballast that is configured on the circuit, LumiSmart applies different waveform algorithms to provide optimized power savings.
Advanced Safety
LumiSmart ILC has been certified for safety and functionality by leading authorities in the US, Canada and Europe. LumiSmart provides advanced electrical safety functionality that includes a high speed failsafe mechanism and integrates advanced micro-controlled circuitry that will shut down the units should any power surges or error conditions become evident. In either condition by using the high speed relay, the downstream light fixtures will receive full power. You will never be in the dark.
Advanced Scalability
LumiSmart provides control for all ballasts wired into a dedicated lighting circuit. The following table provides an indication of the number of fluorescent lamps that can be controlled by LumiSmart ILC:
