OUR TECHNOLOGY

Continuum’s engagement with leading technology manufacturers and best in class lighting designers provides our clients technology that maximizes efficiency gains, reduces risk, and improves light quality.

Luminaires
Recent technology developments are accelerating the rate of change in the lighting world. Continuum works with leading luminaire manufacturers to source the most efficient and reliable products. LED roadway luminaires can provide 50% reduced energy consumption, increase the color rendering of objects by 300%, provide visibility gains on detection distance and peripheral vision, while nearly eliminating maintenance of roadway lighting.

Competitive firms must keep up with technical advances, project developments worldwide, and proven technologies to provide best in class services. Through our industry relationships we maintain expertise of emerging technologies before they enter the market. In cases where innovations warrant inclusion in a project, we work with our clients to test proof of concept and design and monitor pilot studies, while providing feedback to manufacturers regarding their luminaire design and customer needs.

Control Systems
Continuum maximizes efficiency gains through technical support for control systems that pair with LED luminaires. Control systems can garner an additional 20-30% in energy reductions, but require front-end integration with lamp specifications in order to deploy robust systems and maximize cost savings. These control systems also provide communication nodes for the suite of demand-response technologies central to creating smart grids.

Health and Wellness
Interactive affects of artificial illumination for both humans and ecosystems must be considered when implementing these new technologies. Continuum works with our clients to maximize health and wellness benefits including reduced glare, light pollution, and light trespass. In addition, we stay current with the latest photo-biological research and concurrent technologies that integrate scientifically identified best practices.
