EPtronics is a leading innovator, designer and manufacturer of premium standard and custom LED drivers. Lusio Solid-State Lighting manufactures high lumen output, energy-efficient high bay LED lighting fixtures for virtually any commercial or industrial application. Precision-Paragon (P2) is an energy-efficient fixture manufacturer, founded in 1992, that designs and manufactures LED, fluorescent, and induction retrofit kits and OEM fixtures. WattStopper makes energy-efficient lighting controls for commercial and residential use. Designed to encourage vendor collaboration and development, the ControlScope Connected Program is the industry's only multi-vendor community of interoperable wireless lighting products. By using the ZigBee protocol to enable interoperability among a wide range of products and manufacturers, ControlScope Connected makes it easier for businesses to adopt intelligent lighting systems, allowing more choice among vendors. The program offers partners the ability to utilize the benefits of wireless standards and interoperability and provide their customers with technology that reduces energy use and cost as well as lessens the complexity of integration into existing and future building systems. As part of the program, members receive access to technical and design assistance, as well as ongoing sales and co-marketing opportunities. Source: www.canada.com
