Company Profile

Since 1985, Blue Ridge Technologies , formerly known as TRIATEK Lighting, has led the way with innovations in lighting control that are built for integration. Blue Ridge Technologies ’ solutions currently thrive in several thousand facilities around the world, fulfilling building owner demand for a superior

alternative to stand-alone lighting control.  Blue Ridge Technologies offers its partners and their clients a tremendously positive ownership experience though innovative products, quality manufacturing and value-added distribution model that enable them to experience sustainability and performance long after the initial installation.

Blue Ridge Technologies fosters an approach that eliminates integration uncertainty by aligning system accountability with a single, local expert. Simply stated: the Building Automation System (BAS) controls contractor provides the lighting control and the electrical contractor installs it. This revolutionary approach substantially lowers the cost of ownership by reducing the unnecessary infrastructure costs of stand alone lighting control, eliminates integration uncertainty and maximizes energy savings throughout the building life cycle while providing the building owner a single point of accountability.

MINT™ DR energy management solutionMint™ is a powerful energy management solution that substantially reduces lighting energy consumption during peak periodswhile maintaining a safe and productive work environment.MINT is built upon two open protocol standards (BACnet and DALIDigital Addressable Lighting Interface) to eliminate the risk of getting locked into a specific ballast or control system manufacturer. MINT is also built for integration to leverage the inherent value of the building automation system infrastructure to provide a solution that is ease to learn, use and maintain throughout the building life cycle.

BACnet IP
Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI)

IMMIX™ architectural dimming systemIMMIX™ is the first architectural dimming system to reliable bridge the gap to building automation systems.  IMMIX is suitablefor new or retrofit installations including; conference centers, ballrooms, boardrooms and other architectural dimming applications.  By mixing four basic system elements; master control station, remote station, power booster and integration module, IMMIX is able to perform traditional dimming system functions while being supervised from almost any building automation system.

Qwik-Kit® Pro - Lx5 Technology enabled productQwik-Kits™ deliver tremendous value by utilizing the existing lighting control panel enclosure, relays, and line voltage conduit and wiring. This approach reduces the retrofit equipment and labor costs and it leverages the initial investment in the original lighting control panel. Qwik-Kits also offer guaranteed compatibility with most low voltage controlled lighting relays. Once installed the Qwik-Kits make the lighting panel network ready for integration directly to the Building Automation System.

Each Blue Ridge Technologies Partner offers different native protocols on thier Qwik-Kits

Digi-Touch® network is designed to eliminate home-run wiring for standard switches, digital-addressable switches and occupancy sensors.

Digi-Touch® improves the functionality of Blue Ridge Technologies multi-protocol native Lx5 Technology Platform products by providing the capability of networking digital switches over a single twisted pair of wires. This twisted pair network is the Blue Ridge Technologies Digi-Touch Network.

LTR™ (Lumisys True Relays)LTR™ (Blue Ridge Technologies True Relays) are long-life relays rated for 300,000 operations at full  load and a Short Circuit Current Rating(SCCR) of 20KA when installed in relay panels manufactured by Blue Ridge Technologies . 

LTR relays are UL recognized components, have a manual override lever for operation
of the relay without power to the electronics and each relay terminal block can accommodate up to size 8AWG load wires and are individually replaceable.
