A method to generate savings in a business is to use efficient LED fixtures and lighting control. It is especially important for industrial processing and office areas. Lighting control can be implemented with WiFi-networked devices. Other control technologies are based on wireless Bluetooth communication or traditional wired communication.
What is required for a system like that to work?
The light system will need a controller to which sensors can be connected, such asmotion and presence detectors and light sensors. Every LED fixture can have its own controller for unique addressability.
Lighting control operating principle.
A control system can be based on managing groups of fixtures or individual fixtures. The simplest solution works by operating the lights according to a predefined schedule. A schedule can be planned according to the business hours or by the specific work tasks at the business location. If a system is provided with dusk sensors, motion detectors and illuminance sensors, smart lighting control can be implemented.. The entire system is managed by a controller in response to the data outputs from the installed sensors. This allows the operation of the lights to be adusted, and control the illumination according to the actual conditions.
For lighting control, WiFi/Bluetooth connectivity and peripheral device applications are the latest tools that greatly simplify the ways to achieve savings at workplaces. They help to improve the functionality of the illumination. The primary objective here is to manage light fixtures in a simple and transparent way, according to actual needs.

What is discomfort glare?
Every one of us has, on more than one occasion, experienced dazzling light, which, in practice, is known as discomfort glare. Commonly referred to as glare, this effect adversely affects the eyes, reducing vision and recognition.
Lumens to watts – how to convert the luminous flux?
The luminous flux of LED lighting is given in lumens. With traditional light sources, on the other hand, the luminous intensity was usually determined as the power they consumed in watts. To be able to at least compare the two sources to some extent, it is necessary to convert lumens to watts. Therefore, in this article we address this issue.
