The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has published C137 TR 1-2024, Lighting Control User Interface Technical Report. It is a technical report, not a formal standard. This technical report recommends user interface elements for lighting controls utilized by end-users and occupants. It is applicable to hardware controls, software applications, personal control apps, displays, and documentation. The report was published November 19, 2024 and is 15 pages.
The report provides recommendations for designing user interfaces that are intuitive and effective for end-users interacting with lighting control systems. The report addresses visual elements (terms, symbols, and colors), physical action mappings, automatic elements (indication and actuation), and tactile elements (identification and actuation). This technical paper does not address ergonomic, or safety considerations associated with the deployment of user lighting control interface elements.
