Homes and Condominiums BACK
TO TOP
Today's homes incorporates more electrical devices
than ever before. It used to be common to find a single light in the center
of each room, or perhaps only a switched outlet for a lamp. Now it is
common to have recessed lighting, switches outlets, accent lighting, task
lighting, and fans all within one room. Many lights are controlled from
more than one location and switchplates will often have as many as four
or more switches grouped together. Add to that outdoor and landscape lighting
and the result is that today's homes are more confusing than ever! Even
in smaller rooms, such as bathrooms, there may be an overhead light, a
shower light, a fan switch, and vanity light. Our custom engraved wallplates
can help you, your family, and guests remember which switch operates which
device.

Offices and Workplaces
BACK TO TOP
In a large office many switches are grouped together to make it easy for
users to turn on or turn off all the lights at once. This works well on
weekdays, but on weekends and in the evenings, users who do not know which
switch to use often will turn on all the lights. This wastes energy. Also,
as people leave at night, they are hesitant to turn off lights for fear
of switching off lights in the wrong area. Again, energy is wasted. Lumen
ID's custom engraved wallplates allow individual users of the space to
turn on lights as necessary and when needed.

Vacation
Properties BACK TO TOP
Vacation homes are ideal for Lumen ID's custom engraved wallplates because
the users of these spaces are often not accustomed to the function of individual
switches.
Many vacation properties are either used sporadically throughout the
year or rented out a portion of the year. For the owner who uses the home
infrequently, Lumen ID's custom engraved wallplates relieve him or her
from having to remember the function of individual switches. For vacation
homes that are used as rental properties (especially for daily or weekly
rentals for vacationers), Lumen ID's custom engraved wallplates allow
users to quickly become accustomed to their surroundings and use the property
to its fullest

Retirement
and Assisted Living Homes BACK
TO TOP
As people age, they may not be able to see as well as they once did. They
may also have difficulty with their memory. Remembering which light switch
operates what device may be difficult for certain individuals. Lumen ID
offers Easyread™ wallplates that incorporate large easy-to-read engraved
text on wallplates that allow those with poor eyesight to easily identify
the function of individual switches and helps extend their ability to live
independently. Switches can be labeled within individual resident apartments
as well as in shared facilities such as living spaces, dining rooms, libraries,
meeting rooms, activity spaces, and kitchens.

Hotel
Rooms and Suites BACK TO TOP
The transient nature of hotel occupancy makes it
ideal for Lumen ID's custom engraved wallplates. In addition, the sophisticated
technologies offered by fine hotels mean there is an increasing need to
indicate various lighting options, fans, and Internet locations to suite
occupants. |

Banquet
halls, Meeting rooms and Conference Rooms BACK
TO TOP
These types of rooms are equipped with several large banks of lighting controls
and controls for other devices such as screens and window shades. Lumen
ID's custom engraved wallplates allow users to easily identify controls
and expedite quick room setup. |

Schools, Universities
and Libraries BACK
TO TOP
Energy savings and efficient lighting usage
is very important to budget constrained education systems. Newer schools
are carefully designed to take advantage of daylight by creating lighting
zones that allow ixterior lights to be turned off when daylight levels
provide adequate lighting. In addition certain lights are left on during
off hours for security purposes.
These complex lighting systems are controlled not just
by maintenance personnel, but also a large number of staff and students
with no training in the operation. No where is this more apparent than
in a lecture hall when the lecturer cannot properly dim the lights for
a presentation. Lumen ID's custom engraved wallplates allow users to operate
the lighting systems as they were designed to be used.

Theaters
and Performance Spaces BACK
TO TOP
Few building types have more complicated lighting than theaters. Easy identification
of lighting controls is essential to the smooth operation of a production.
While lighting in theaters is generally centrally controlled by a professional,
the potential for error is a glaring distraction in a performance, especially
for theaters where staff such as ushers might be volunteers, Lumen ID's
custom engraved wallplates can eliminate the potential for confusion or
distracting improper light switching or dimming. |

Retail
Stores BACK TO TOP
Retail store lighting can be very complex and overwhelming to business owners
and their employees, especially with employee turnover, new employees face
the challenge of becoming familiar with their work environment. Lumen ID's
custom engraved wallplates allow staff to become familiar with their surroundings
quickly and focus on more important tasks. |

Hospitals
BACK TO TOP
Hospitals require wallplates to be labeled for a variety of uses, including
the labeling of gases and outlets operated on emergency generator power.
Many other rooms require labeling of switches and electrical outlets to
help staff identify and use the appropriate devices. This is sometimes
achieved through stick on labels, which will eventually wear off and don't
hold up after repeated cleanings. Our stainless steel engraved wallplates
are perfect for healthcare facilities because they are durable, easy to
clean, and the engraving process leaves a permanent etched marking on
the plate that won't wear off. We also offer nylon wallplates in all the
different colors needed in a healthcare facility.

Restaurants
and Coffee Shops BACK TO TOP
Restaurants have numerous lighting controls that operate lights throughout
kitchen and work areas as well as in dining areas. Dining area lights are
often split into various zones and as day turns to night, many of these
lights need to be dimmed to create the appropriate ambiance. Lumen ID's
custom engraved wallplates are the perfect solution for helping staff remember
the correct switches to use. Our nylon or stainless steel wallplates hold
up well in high abuse locations such as restaurants.
