Smart Lighting – Light from the Network

Efficient lighting from the network
The basic idea is as simple as it is evident: Even economical LED lamps could be still much more economical if they would only shine during the period of time and with the intensity as is actually required. Illuminated rooms, floors, or underground car parks where nobody is around are indeed an expensive and "burning" issue for many companies. This predicament can be solved by means of an intelligent concept: Smart Lighting – the name is self-explanatory.

The light goes on, the costs go down
The Smart Lighting concept is implemented by means of the connection of intelligent network and LED technology. Via the deployment of sensors and actuators, the lighting is always used precisely where it is required. Only at times where a person is in the room, only in places where the natural daylight does not provide sufficient illumination, and only as much light as is required to see clearly and comfortably. Experts prognosticate energy savings of up to 80 percent, which can be reached in total via intelligent lighting concepts.

More than lighting: intelligent facility management
The LED lamps are provided with power over the data cable via Power-over-Ethernet. Special Smart Lighting controllers integrate the lighting completely into the network infrastructure. The lighting is controlled via decentralized switches which run small control programs. With the help of these apps it is not only possible to control Smart Lighting, but also to implement complex building automation applications over the network.
A super-ordinated software platform allows the user to configure and monitor all system components. Statistics as the basis for efficient room and resource management additionally provide valuable information on the allocation of rooms and energy consumption.

Smart Lighting will be presented in "live" mode at the  Light + Building trade fair at the MICROSENS booth:  Hall 9, Booth E52.
