There are a number of ways that you can reduce the energy waste associated with lighting systems. One way is to make use of smart controllers and use devices such as lighting-dimmer controls, lighting-motionsensor controls, lighting-occupancy controls, lighting-photosensor controls, and lightingtimercontrols. Write a brief report describing how these various types of lighting controllers work and give examples of their usage.
