Description
The EPCO Illumination Control Fixture Whip (ICFW) is a pre-fabricated, UL-listed solution for efficient lighting control in commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings. Designed for 120/277 VAC systems, it is ideal for new construction or retrofit projects, providing a cost-effective alternative to expensive five-conductor MC cable or field-built wiring solutions.
The ICFW integrates seamlessly with LED or fluorescent luminaires, dimming ballasts, and digital controls to:
- Optimize lighting using independent room controllers for daylight harvesting and energy management.
- Operate on timed schedules for personnel, warehouse, or facility lighting.
- Control lighting with occupancy sensors in commercial and industrial applications.
