With truly smart lighting, so much more is possible
Forget fluorescent, high-pressure sodium, and metal halide lighting. With built-in intelligence, our solid-state LED lighting goes beyond illumination to help unlock improved health, safety, performance and security outcomes for your workplace.
Enhance reliability and simplify system programming
Our lighting systems are built as an autonomous adaptive network. Central to this is a dedicated wireless network. Independent of WiFi or cellular networks, this design simplifies set-up and eliminates security risks within existing operations.
Every device within the network, from light fixtures to sensors, is also fully autonomous and independent of any central system controller. Each node reacts to local inputs with pre-defined rules, greatly enhancing response speeds. Nodes can then send status reports to a central control centre for analysis and action.
Simulate natural sunlight and reap the benefits
From our circadian rhythm, which prompts when we wake and sleep, to the production of hormones for improved sleep and health outcomes, sunlight positively affects us biologically. Unlike traditional lighting, our Human-Centric lighting (HCL) systems use LEDs to mimic natural sunlight's wavelengths, colours and intensity, simulating 90% of the sun's full spectrum and reinforcing its benefits.
Research in commercial and educational facilities has also shown significant positive impacts on productivity and performance from HCL, with less stress and enhancement of learning and cognitive performance under this type of light source.
Kill bacteria and create a healthier environment
Full Spectrum Lighting, like sunlight, can eliminate harmful bacteria naturally. While sunlight's cleaning ability has long been attributed to UV light, recent research reveals that specific visible light wavelengths are also highly effective at sterilizing bacteria by disrupting their DNA and preventing reproduction.
This presents an opportunity for indoor lighting to offer a safe and automatic cleaning function anywhere bacteria growth threatens occupants, property, or products. These wavelengths do not impact mammalian DNA, enabling their use in general indoor lighting and providing continuous sterilization. Our systems offer options to incorporate Germicidal wavelengths in addition to regular full-spectrum light sources.
Monitor your environment with integrated sensors
Modern facilities management greatly emphasises understanding and monitoring indoor environments, especially in places heavily reliant on air conditioning or with fluctuating occupancy levels. Our environmental sensor technology covers various factors such as Temperature, Humidity, Air Pressure, CO2, CO, O3, VOC, Dust (PM2.5 & PM10), Smoke, Occupancy (Microwave or PIR), Light, Sound, and Vibration. While only some of these may be necessary for some facilities, they are readily available with low costs, reasonable accuracy, and long lifespans.
These sensors can be seamlessly integrated into our intelligent lighting fixtures, forming a wireless network for information transmission. They can be added as needed, ranging from simple smoke detectors to occupancy sensors or even radar-based motion detectors sensitive enough to detect respiration rates in occupants.
Furthermore, our indoor lighting can respond to data from these sensors. For example, motion detectors can trigger floor lighting to react to occupant movement, adjusting the light's colour temperature to minimize sleep-disrupting blue wavelengths during the evening. Additionally, elevated CO2 levels in educational facilities during class periods can be addressed by monitoring and using this data to control ventilation systems. The lights can also change colours or flash to signify specific conditions, such as fire alarms or security alerts.
Keep track of your most important assets
Each network node within our lighting systems has unique identifiers, enabling the use of low-power sensors for indoor asset tracking. These sensors can activate and search for the nearest local ID, facilitating the monitoring of essential items. This technology allows facilities to establish geo-fencing around specific areas, sounding an alarm if something leaves a designated safe zone or providing asset location data at key workstations. These assets could range from valuable audio-visual equipment to newborns in a maternity ward, specialized beds or equipment in a general ward, important personnel, or patients in dementia care who tend to wander.
This system can also track individuals using their smartphones, provided they opt-in for this function. The beauty of this system lies in its cost-effective and efficient implementation, as it's simply a software feature that runs over the existing lighting network, making it easily adaptable to changing needs.
Reduce emergency lighting costs
Emergency lighting requirements often pose significant expenses and complexities for many facilities. However, LED light fixtures can offer a solution by doubling as emergency lighting, potentially reducing costs and improving the overall emergency system's performance.
Back-up power is provided by plugging a battery module with its wireless controller into one or more light fittings. This unique controller continually monitors the battery's health, the light fixtures, and the environment. The wireless network allows centralized monitoring of the emergency lighting system, and occupancy sensing can enhance safety protocols during emergencies. When a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is active, our light fittings can become part of the emergency network, automatically adjusting the light output to meet standards and optimize UPS battery life, effectively reducing emergency lighting costs
