Mandalay Bay Convention Center taps wireless lighting controls across 1 million ft2

In a lighting now and maybe data later deal, Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Convention Center has tapped GE’s Current division for a wireless control system that allows fine tuning of 1600 luminaires across the expansive 1 million ft2 of exhibition space. Mandalay Bay is using Current’s Intel-based Daintree controls and software to alter lighting levels from 0–100% brightness, thus eliminating the need for supplemental lighting over individual booths, according to Current. Current partnered with Boulder, CO-based Energy Resources Inc., which specializes in installing and designing lighting and lighting control systems.
