2 THORLUX INDUSTRIAL SMART An energy saving lighting control system for fluorescent lamps What is Smart? The world s ever increasing demand for energy is rapidly changing our environment and the need for energy efficiency in every aspect of our daily lives has never been greater. The Thorlux Smart System combines the latest Digital Technology to provide a simple, effective method of lighting control which minimises energy consumption whilst retaining high levels of user comfort. A discrete sensor integral to the luminaire monitors ambient light and presence, to control output to the correct level, and to ensure that the area is only illuminated when occupied. Lighting can account for a high percentage of energy consumed within a building, especially if uncontrolled discharge luminaires or old technology switch start luminaires are installed. Savings by installation of automatic lighting control systems can reach 70%. saveenergysavemoneysaveenvironmentsaveenergysavemoneysaveenvironmentsaveenergysavemoneysaveenvironmentsaveenergysavemoneysaveenvironment saveenergysavemoneysaveenvironmentsaveenergysavemoneysaveenvironmentsaveenergysavemoneysaveenvironmentsaveenergysavemoneysaveenvironment 2 3

3 THE SMART SYSTEM Daylight compensation THE SMART SYSTEM Passive infra-red detection Daylight linking When daylight enters an area the sensors will take this light into account and gradually dim the lamps, saving energy whilst maintaining the required light level. Changes in light levels are made gradually for the comfort of users. Each luminaire in the Thorlux Smart System measures and adjusts independently according to the ambient light in its immediate surroundings. This provides good uniformity across the working plane even in situations where the natural daylight ingress is varied across the area. The Thorlux difference Individual Thorlux Smart luminaires may be linked into a grouped system using a Motionline two wire low voltage bus allowing luminaires to communicate within a group. If any one luminaire detects movement all connected luminaires within the group will illuminate. This valuable feature is designed to eliminate the possibility of a user being isolated in a small pool of light, surrounded by intimidating darkness. The Motionline ensures that there will always be a well lit comfortable environment. Once the last person leaves an area the luminaire waits for a pre-programmed period before switching off or dimming to a user pre-defined level. A manual override facility can be provided. Operation Energy savings accrue primarily due to the grouped SolowXL with Smart Micro-pod Sensor Maintained illuminance Accumulation of dirt and lamp lumen depreciation causes light loss and uncontrolled schemes are initially over lit to compensate, resulting in wasted energy over the maintenance cycle. The Thorlux Smart System avoids this waste of energy and over lighting by allowing installations to be initially dimmed to the required light level. This level is sustained throughout the maintenance cycle by the system automatically increasing lamp output. LIGHT LEVEL GRADUALLY DIMS ARTIFICIAL LIGHT TIME Daylight Linking Bright out feature In the event of excess natural light, for more than 10 minutes, the Smart luminaire will switch off completely, saving a further 20% energy and prolonging lamp life. GRADUALLY BRIGHTENS LIGHT LEVEL luminaires not being illuminated during periods of non-occupation, but the adaptable Smart system can be programmed using the Smart-Programmer to offer other energy saving and safety orientated configurations. Luminaires within a group are programmable individually and may be set to dim to any chosen level between 1 and 100% rather than to extinguish after the time-out period. Some luminaires may be programmed to stay on, after the time-out period at a high level of illumination for pilot lighting purposes. The Smart sensor detects small movements at mounting heights up to 7 metres and large movements at mounting heights up to 10 metres (see below). With Motionline a group of luminaires can be switched on when any one sensor detects movement. By isolating the Motionline signal (see Figure 1) separate zones can be achieved whilst using a common mains supply.

Off Glaxo Smith Kline have recently refurbished the plant room lighting at their facilities in Ware, Hertfordshire. The overall aim was to provide significant energy savings whilst maintaining a good level of lighting. The old twin 58W electronic start luminaires were replaced with energy efficient Thorlux A-Line Smart luminaires each using two 35W T5 lamps, having a total load of 80W per luminaire. The change of luminaires has resulted in a 40% reduction in load with little change to the general lighting level. The old luminaires were controlled on a time clock to ensure that the area was illuminated during working hours. This resulted in all luminaires being on for 17 hours a day, 7 days a week. Each A-Line luminaire has an integral Smart sensor, therefore the time clock is no longer required. In this case they are not connected in groups using a two-core Motionline as the client only wanted the lights to come on in an individual basis. The presence detection control provided a saving of 95% as the Smart luminaires only switch on when the plant equipment is undergoing maintenance. Method of control/operation Movement sensing Any detected movement will switch all the luminaires ON. If no movement is detected for a period of five minutes then the lights will dim down to a security level. If no movement is detected for a further period of five minutes, then the lights will switch OFF. Daylight dimming Each luminaire will dim itself independently depending upon the light level underneath it. If the natural light level exceeds the programmed level then the lights will switch OFF. This provides a regime which is tailored to the activities of the rooms occupants. Area vacant condition Off or minimum level. Factory setting - off. Security setting delay This allows an interim delay (30 seconds to Genuine energy savings from Smart luminaires Energy savings results 1 hour, or continuous) at a selected level (anywhere between minimum and maximum) following no presence detection and prior to the area vacant condition. Factory setting - disabled. For example, all luminaires in a building may be set to switch off except for exit routes which will reduce to 50%, for a further hour (assuming no presence detected). Alternatively as a security feature, perhaps 1 in 20 lights may be kept on continuously at any chosen level. Light level setting Completely variable or may be set to maximum continuously. Bright out setting Lamps will be switched off (particularly those nearest the window) if excess daylight is present for more than 10 minutes. Luminaires can also be programmed to simply dim and not switch off. Automatic setting retention If lighting is manually overridden, e.g. for a presentation, following a subsequent area vacant switch off, the system will revert back to automatic mode. It may alternatively be set to retain manually overridden settings. Installation commissioning using the Smart-Programmer LCM The data displayed opposite demonstrates most effectively how Smart luminaires can provide significant energy savings. Each luminaire responds to the local conditions by monitoring movement in order to achieve maximum energy savings. Programmability Tremendous flexibility can be achieved by individually programming luminaires to suit local conditions and the requirements of users. Manual override Smart luminaires can be manually controlled using either a wall switch or a hand-held transmitter.
