INTRODUCTION Welcome! The Lumin Smart Panel (LSP) is a stand-alone product that extends the capability of an existing circuit breaker panel (or “electrical panel”) by providing measurement and remote control of up to twelve (12) circuits in a home or building. The function of the circuit breaker panel remains the same and is not impacted.
NOTE: The LSP Circuit Label & CT Table (provided with the LSP) must be completed and delivered to the home/building owner upon the successful installation of the LSP. A completed LSP Circuit Label & CT Table is required in order for users to set up their Lumin account.
