AVI-ON AT NYCONTROLLED 2025
At NYControlled 2025, Randy Reid of Edison Report sat down with Joe McGrath, Sales Director East Coast for Avi-on, to discuss one of the most innovative advancements in lighting controls today—Lockdown Mode.
Modern lighting systems are evolving far beyond energy savings. Avi-on’s Floor Plan View platform offers intuitive, real-time control through a cloud-connected graphical interface, allowing facility teams to manage lighting from any laptop or computer.
EMERGENCY LOCKDOWN MODE
With a single input—such as a panic button or alarm trigger—Lockdown Mode instantly places an entire building into a pre-programmed safety state during critical incidents. Lighting can dim, turn off, or shift to custom levels while occupancy sensors continue to report motion data.
SUPPORTING FIRST RESPONDERS
Secure access allows first responders and law enforcement to visualize live motion data, improving situational awareness and helping create safe evacuation routes.
This technology marks a major shift in how lighting controls support life safety, not just code compliance. Available now, Lockdown Mode has the potential to save lives in schools, offices, and public facilities.
As Joe McGrath puts it, “Modern lighting controls aren’t just about energy efficiency—they’re about safety, security, and smarter response.”
