The Benefits of Light Management
Systems in Commercial Environments
Switching to an LED lighting system is
an excellent first step in any sustainability
journey. However, there are even
more benefits to be secured by introducing
a light management system. Here
Head of Projects, David Goddard from
LEDVANCE discusses the benefits of a
light management system in an office or
commercial environment.
The need for efficient, intelligent and
environmentally friendly lighting has been
well-documented. Outdated lighting technology,
such as fluorescent and incandescent
bulbs are being successfully phased
out. LED technology has paved the way
for a more sustainable future with regard
to lighting.
While this is an important element of
any drive for sustainability, maximum
energy savings can only be achieved by
using lighting control, and as such, has
the capability to further decrease energy
consumption by 50 percent.
Of course, not all lighting control systems are created equally. Therefore, it is important to look at the different elements that make lighting control more appealing, both from an installation and usability perspective. Looking at the quality of the components used is an important place to start. After all, top systems need top components. Looking at LEDVANCE’s VIVARES system as an example, DALI components have been utilized. The DALI-2 certified control units, sensors and pushbutton couplers come in a new design and with extra functions, and are a perfect match for the LEDVANCE DALI luminaires. Furthermore, they perfectly integrate with other DALI systems in the market.
When considering installation, choosing a plug & play solution offers significant benefits. With a plug & play solution, such as that offered by LEDVANCE’s VIVARES system, the technology is ready to use – simply wire the control in, and it’s ready to go. The control units work for single rooms, with an area of up to 300 m2 and up to 25 luminaires.
Adding to this simplicity, VIVARES offers pre-programmed functions for manual room lighting – on/off, dim, TW and memory. No app, software or registration is required, making the system easy to get started with.
To deliver even greater benefits when choosing a lighting management system, it is preferential to specify solutions from a manufacturer that has secured environmental credentials. For example, EcoVadis is an independent sustainability assessment platform, helping companies to identify and evaluate the effectiveness of their green practices across business operations and their supply chain.
LEDVANCE has secured the EcoVadis Silver Medal award level, which only 15 percent of businesses reach. This evidences that LEDVANCE follows ethical and social practices, comply with labor laws, meet environmental responsibilities and respect human rights. Full story »
