Smart Lighting Solutions

Most buildings today are over-lit because light levels are set higher than appropriate for the space, or spaces are lit even when they are unoccupied. This wastes energy, creates discomfort, and reduces productivity.

Smart lighting is more than just controlling lights without a switch. It supports a range of functionalities from simple fixture based controls to complex cloud based Internet of Things (IoT) systems that enable full control of your lighting system via a cloud based application.

Lighting Control Options

When it comes to lighting controls, you have a range of options — from simple, single-fixture sensors to comprehensive integrated systems.

EPOS will help you plan, select and integrate the system that's right for your project.

Wireless Lighting Control Systems

Wireless lighting control systems allow occupancy controls, photocells, switches and lighting fixtures to communicate via a wireless network that includes a variety of upstream devices capable of communicating with the cloud. This enables facility & office managers to optimize the performance of the complete system, automatically adjusting lighting levels in response to timers, sensor-inputs, seasonal factors and facility usage.

Wired Lighting Networks

Wired lighting networks can provide much of the same control capabilities as wireless lighting networks, using wired Ethernet connections. They are a good option for new construction or in spaces where running new wiring is an easy process.

Occupancy Sensors

Occupancy sensors use either motion or sound control to determine whether an area is occupied. When an area is empty, they can be set to turn off or dim lighting fixtures to save energy. When an area is occupied, the sensors will automatically return the lights to an appropriate level. These sensors can be built into individual fixtures, or they can be integrated into a more comprehensive lighting network.

Daylight Harvesting

Daylight harvesting systems work well in areas with access to natural light through windows or skylights. They sense the amount of available natural light, then dim, brighten, turn off or on lighting in response to changing light conditions. Sensors allow you to supplement your lighting system with natural light, without ever having to worry about delivering appropriate lighting levels.

Intelligent Scheduling

Lighting control systems provide a wide range of intelligent scheduling options. Using location-based technology, lighting control systems can be set to accurately come on an hour before dusk and turn off an hour after dawn, automatically adjusting with each season.Lighting scheduling can also respond to employee shifts, sensor data and many other variables.

Motors, Drives & HVAC

Our Intelligent Lighting Control capabilities can go beyond lighting, with motor, drive & HVAC integration capabilities. This allows you to connect your lighting control system with other components, like fans, swamp coolers and even industrial machines.

Demand Response

Intelligent lighting control systems can also earn money by participating in demand-response events. When electrical utilities experience peak demand, they'll often offer incentives for facilities that lower their electrical usage. In some areas like California, code requires demand response functionality on new construction or renovation.
