Smart Building & Energy — LED Lighting

LED Lighting & Controls

Smart, IoT-integrated LED lighting systems — occupancy-based, daylight-responsive, and centrally scheduled — designed to significantly cut lighting energy use while improving occupant comfort and light quality.

LED Lighting & Controls

LED lighting with intelligent controls is one of the highest-ROI investments in commercial building technology. Nexus designs and installs complete smart building LED lighting systems — including occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, and building management integration — for offices, healthcare facilities, and industrial sites across Illinois and the Chicagoland area, dramatically reducing energy consumption while creating better lighting environments for occupants.

LED Fixture Replacement

Commercial LED fixtures for office, industrial, healthcare, retail, and outdoor environments — superior light quality at a fraction of the energy cost.

Occupancy Sensors

Motion and occupancy sensors that automatically turn lights off in unoccupied spaces — adding meaningful savings on top of LED efficiency gains.

Daylight Harvesting

Photosensors that automatically dim lights when natural daylight is sufficient — maximizing energy savings in perimeter zones.

Smart Lighting Controls

Lutron, Enlighted, and similar smart lighting platforms — enabling scheduling, scene control, and integration with BMS and occupancy systems.

Emergency Lighting

LED emergency lighting and exit signage meeting NFPA 101 and local code requirements — with battery backup and code-compliant testing.

Energy Monitoring

Circuit-level energy monitoring measuring lighting consumption in real time — with reporting for utility incentive documentation.

LED Lighting ROI

  • Industry-cited 60–80% reduction in lighting energy consumption for LED + controls retrofits
  • Utility incentives can materially shorten payback periods
  • Occupancy sensors add further savings beyond LED efficiency
  • LED fixtures last 50,000–100,000 hours — 5–10x longer than fluorescent
  • Improved light quality and Color Rendering Index (CRI) support better occupant productivity and visual comfort
  • Utility rebate programs available in most markets — we identify eligible incentives and manage the full application process

Key Benefits

Industry-Cited 60–80% Energy Reduction

LED + controls retrofits commonly cite 60–80% lighting-energy reductions; your facility's projection is modeled before commitment.

50,000+ Hour Life
