Lighting system commissioning is a process of fine-tuning, testing and evaluating of lighting system before it is put into operation. The primary objective of commissioning is to ensure that the lighting system operates as per the design intent, it meets the building's energy efficiency goals, and it is safe and reliable. It involves verifying that all equipment, components, and control systems are working correctly, installed correctly, programmed correctly, and integrated correctly in the building automation system. The commissioning process may include functional testing of each lighting fixture, setting light levels, adjusting timers, and verifying that alarms and other safety systems work correctly. Overall, lighting system commissioning is a critical step in ensuring that a building's lighting system operates as intended and delivers optimal performance throughout the building's life.
