Lighting Dimmers

Light dimmers, also known as rheostats, provide added control to your lighting design and extra savings on your monthly electric bills.  With just the push of a slider or twist of a knob, lighting dimmers allow you to precisely control the intensity of your interior lighting. When your home is equipped with lighting dimmers, you can create an intimate atmosphere that’s ideal for dining and entertaining or turn up the intensity to suit your mood and needs. 

We also install wireless lighting dimmers that allow you to control your lighting intensity remotely.  We even offer weather resistant outdoor lighting dimmers to give you greater control of porch and patio lighting. With our wide selection of light dimmers and the experience and skill of our professional lighting technicians, if you can imagine it, we can do it.

Residential Light Timers

Lighting timers also provide a new level of control for your home’s lighting design. Lighting timers are available in a wide choice of options and we can recommend the right one for you and your family.  In addition to saving energy and utility costs by turning lights off when they’re not needed, timers also add security for your home and those you love. 

Light timers are ideal for families with young children who are notorious for not turning out the lights when they leave a room. There are also motion activated timers that turn off the lights when no movement is detected. 

Why come home to a dark, unsafe house, when you can have a well-lit, welcoming home with lighting timers from Nu Way Electric?  Lighting timers can give would-be intruders the impression that your home is occupied while you’re at work or traveling for business or pleasure and we also install exterior landscape lighting timers.

Time is on Your Side

Timers are an easy way to reduce your energy consumption.  Timers can be used either indoor or outdoor.  They are great for outdoor lighting, holiday lighting, and to leave preset for everyday functionality.  Timers provide convenience and safety while saving you energy and money.

Sense and Sensibility

Room Occupancy Sensors enable lights to come one whenever motion is detected and turn off when motion ceases.  Motion sensors are especially useful in bathrooms, break rooms and boardrooms. Room occupancy sensors are yet another great way to save energy and money.

Dim and Dimmer

Dimmers give you the ability to intimately control your lighting system.  Lighting dimmers allows you to adjust the intensity of the light to meet each individuals needs.  You may want to dim the lights for presentations or you may want to brighten the lights to see better while working.  Dimmers affect the warmth, depth, and ambiance of the room while providing energy efficiency.

Dimmers can be used in many rooms like:  the show room, break room, bedroom, bathroom or office. Dimmers are a quick and easy way to make a big difference in the visual presentation of your building or store.

LED Technology

LED lights are very small, extremely durable, and can be manufactured in a variety of colors and forms. They have the potential to be more energy efficient and last far longer than most current lighting technologies. They are considered environmentally friendly, since they contain no mercury, and the visible light applications for home or business do not emit infrared (IR) or ultraviolet (UV) light. They produce very little heat; and, their lifetime is not affected by frequent on/off switching. The cost of materials needed to make LED lighting has plummeted in the past several years. Although LEDs remain more expensive that their counterparts, their prices are steadily declining. LED’s last on average between 50,000 and 100,000 hours. That is between 5.5 and 11 years if left burning continuously. Traditional lighting claims anywhere between 10,000 and 25,000 hours at best.  LED’s use up to 70% less electricity than traditional lighting, a staggering figure when you realize that up to 50% of energy bill comes from burning lights. LED’s create 95% light and 5% heat versus traditional lighting that produces 95% heat and 5% light. Let’s break that down to a real life scenario. Every watt saved on lighting will equate to 4 watts of cooling power, so in the summertime when your A/C is running full blast, LED’s are not working against all the work your A/C is doing. It relates to a larger $$ figure than you might imagine. They produce more lumen per watt than traditional lighting. They can save 50-75% on energy savings while lighting the areas better and improving the quality of light. Why incorporate energy efficient technology into your operations? For one, it is the same reason you should think about rising energy costs – because energy rates are rising! And beyond that, if you use less, you spend less no matter what the rate is
