Wanted – Stand-alone Wallbox Dimmer with Astronomical Timer

May 15, 2009

Wanted: Wallbox Dimmer with Programmable Astronomical Time Clock Functions

Application:  All across America Porch lights could be on a timer.  They would automatically come on at sunset, or sunset + .5hr and then automatically go off after a user specified number of hours.   The timer would conserve power usage while providing a reliable and sucure lighting source while conserving power usage and extending lamp life.

You won’t find this energy idea on the Energy Star Website, but any lighting designer can tell you that dimming a standard incandescent bulb not only saves energy but can extend it’s life well beyond that of a CFL.   Check out this terrific ONLINE CALCULATOR by Lutron.

Combine that with an astronomical time clock feature that automatically shuts lights off and homes could have significant energy savings, and long life while enjoying the light quality from a standard incandescent or halogen lamp.

Leviton? Lutron? Cooper?
Anybody have one of these? Please advise ASAP ! I’ve got a bulk order for you.
