Office managers are now able to maximise their work space and reduce costs thanks to new developments in lighting management control systems. Ex-Or's Managed Lighting Systems now use presence detection to automatically control the lighting of an office space, switching it off when an area is not in use. With the increase of so-called 'hot-desking' many employees now frequently move around an office meaning that some areas are not in use at a specific time. This system not only helps reduce day-to-day running costs but can also adapt as soon an office layout changes, ending the need to call qualified electricians. The system is controlled by a simple hand-held unit that can alter and set the programmable features by simply pointing it at the nearest luminaire and just touching a button.

Lighting management from Ex-Or has been specified for the headquarters of the Spinal Injuries Association in Milton Keynes. The company's products were specified to ensure energy would be wasted and that optimum levels of light will be delivered automatically. A direct/indirect system of suspended luminaries located in parallel channel systems was selected with each luminaire containing an Ex-Or MLS sensor to provide the presence and daylight regulating control required. The elimination of light switches for staff using wheelchairs was beneficial as the lighting will automatically illuminate the rooms and will regulate to the optimum level.
