The GLA-LDL-PC-0-10 is a dual-loop photosensor that continually measures ambient light in order to achieve the optimal balance of natural and artificial lighting in an indoor space in daylight harvesting applications. By harnessing natural daylight from windows and skylights, electrical lighting can be dimmed, reducing energy usage while maintaining a consistent light level for a more efficient and comfortable work or living space.
In closed-loop type daylight harvesting applications, the GLA-LDL-PC-0-10 is installed on the ceiling directly above the primary work area. It measures all light within a 60° cone, which consists predominately of reflected light, acquiring the most natural approximation of perceived changes in ambient light levels.
