Smart Lighting Solutions

A smart lighting system refers to wired and wireless controls over light fixtures  for various purposes. A basic smart lighting system starts with a dimmable bulb, a connection module,  communications protocol, and a controller.  From here, color temperature, brightness, and even hue may be manually set, or pre-programmed with a smart device, such as a wireless control or a mobile phone.

To further build on a smart lighting system, it is possible to introduce sensors including motion sensors or daylight sensors.  The smart lighting system becomes reactive to the external environment, automating scenes according to the sensors, timers,  or both.

Smart lighting controls may serve many benefits to owners and occupants.

By installing a smart lighting system that employs energy efficient, dimmable LED lighting and sensors, owners cans save up to 70% on energy costs compared to conventional fluorescent lighting, without disruption of day to day activities.

Giving users more control over their environment can help to increase their satisfaction, comfort and productivity.  By giving occupants control of their lighting, there is a perceived increase in control of their environment.  Giving users control with a wireless smart lighting system is a way to improve  wellbeing & address mental wellness in commercial, office, and industrial settings.

Lighting makes up about 20% of a commercial building’s energy usage, which makes it an important area to touch on when discussing energy efficiency and energy savings.  Using dimmable leds, timers, or motion sensors, it is possible to reduce lighting consumption onsite, while ensuring operations and functionality remain the same.

Smart lighting control systems are suitable for a wide range of applications including offices, commercial, industrial, and residential.  Speak with our smart lighting specialist today to find what smart lighting system may best suit your needs.

Yes, smart lighting that is fully wireless solution is actually most suitable for retrofit projects, because they reduce the amount of cable works & manual labor. This is due to the fact that the lighting control modules do not need to be wired back to the central distribution board.  If you are looking for a solution that can be implemented quickly with minimal cable works, and offers flexibility and scalability, a wireless smart lighting solution may be the most suitable application for retrofit projects.

Wireless systems can be just as reliable as wired systems. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocols such as Casambi, do not require wifi to perate, and they do not interfere with other bluetooth devices. In addition, Casambi creates a mesh network, meaning that modules communicate with one another via the best possible route, and if one node fails, the other node will carry on communicating around the failed node.
