ControLite® takes daylighting design to a new
level. This patented innovation is a costeffective, fully automatic, glazing panel with built-in intelligent light controllers and an embedded program that senses the daylight outside and manages the level of light and solar heat gain inside.

This convenient system enables users to
control natural daylight and comfort levels in
any space all day long, and all year long, simply by setting desired light levels. The ControLite® glazing panel maintains the level of light inside by continuously adjusting its light transmission properties according to the sunlight outside. ControLite® glazing panels optimize the daylighting system’s shading coefficient by reducing solar heat gain on hot summer days, and during peak sunlight hours year round; while providing maximum light on cold winter days and when most needed. In addition, ControLite® minimizes glare and direct sunlight at peak sunlight periods, ensuring comfort for anyone who occupies the space.

ControLite® is a unique system, one of a kind in the daylighting industry. This is not simply a set of add-on blinds or a shading device -- it is a cost-effective daylighting system of intelligent glazing panels that guarantee a wide range of light levels and intelligently adjust the system continuously based on user preference and current daylight conditions.
