Digital Lumens networks LEDs for energy-efficient lighting
By siliconindia
Bangalore: Digital Lumens announced availability of its Lighting System, combining LEDs, networking and software to reduce lighting-related energy use by up to 90 percent in warehouses and industrial facilities. According to the company, the Digital Lumens system enables customers to reduce costs, improve light delivery and meet sustainability targets.
Digital Lumens has created a new platform for energy-efficient lighting. The solution includes LED-based fixtures, each with on-board computing, sensing and built-in intelligence. When deployed, the fixtures form a Smart Light Grid - a lighting network - with system-wide intelligence and integrated controls that deliver energy-efficiency results that far surpass the results achievable with single 'dumb' fixtures.
"The lighting market - driven by demand for radical energy-efficiency improvements and the rapid rise of LEDs - is poised for transformation in the decade ahead," said Tom Pincince, President and CEO of Digital Lumens. "By integrating the latest generations of lighting, networking and controls into a single solution, Digital Lumens has taken a fundamentally different approach that successfully reduces customers' energy consumption, and gives facilities the ability to manage lighting as a strategic asset."
Designed to address the particular needs of the rugged industrial environment, the Digital Lumens Intelligent Lighting System lowers energy load and creates a platform for effective management of lighting resources. The system consists of - Intelligent Light Engines (ILEs) which are white-light LED-based luminaires that provide desired light levels on the target surface, while minimizing kWh consumption. Smart Light Grid is a lighting network, which enables all fixtures in the system to communicate with each other, respond to a neighboring fixture's state and/or system-wide programming, and provide usage and occupancy data to the Light Rules management system.
