BRIGHT IDEA FOR WAREHOUSES: WIRELESS SMARTSENSE CONTROLS FROM ENLIGHTEN To maintain a competitive advantage against low cost labour competitors, Australian lighting companies have had to become more innovative. To differentiate from the global “one size fits all” offering they now provide additional functionality through intelligent lighting controls or smart design features to suit local conditions. These can include lighting Standards and Australian Building Code compliance for specific areas. One of the most exciting innovations comes from leading Sydney LED designer and manufacturer enLighten Australia. enLighten has launched smartsense controls for industrial sites, including loading docks, stores areas, plant rooms and warehouses. “With smartsense, we have worked on overcoming the two major resistance factors to lighting controls – cost and complexity,” said Steve Cahill, enLighten CEO and head of the R&D team. “As the manufacturer of the Tauro Blu LED high/ low bay light, we have been able to focus on delivering a “stand alone” or non hard wired integrated smartsense controls solution. “With no additional hard wiring requirements due to the wireless mesh network capability, installation costs are
kept to a minimum, which improves the upgrade project payback analysis.” “The second feature has been the simplicity of use. For the daylight harvesting module, post commissioning it is a set & forget situation. The daylight sensor will automatically communicate with the light via a wireless signal. This means that there is no exposure to user error or mistakes in programming.” Customer benefits of smart controls include extended product operating lifetime, additional energy savings of up to 70% during daylight hours & maintenance savings. All of these combine to deliver a lower total cost of ownership through to the end user. With smartsense, the Tauro Blu luminaire can now produce a variety of light outputs according to the presence of natural daylight by building the intelligence INTO the Tauro Blu light. How does smartsense work? The smartsense daylight harvesting module is an LED lighting controls device that automatically adjusts the light output of wireless connected Tauro Blu high/low bay luminaires according to the amount of natural light detected in an area. The Tauro Blu lights and the smartsense device automatically form a wireless mesh network of up to 200 lights, which transfers dimming commands between the sensor and the lights. Commissioning is undertaken remotely by an IR 230 mm controller.
