Lighting Control Systems
In the last decade I have scene growth in commercial wireless lighting control systems, the world leading system I have been working with over the last few years is Casambi.
Solar powered PIR's – that charge from reflected artificial light
Battery and wireless switches utilising piso electric technology
Battery switches – 5 year batteries (typical use)
Wired Dali to Casambi interface Casambi to TCP,
Wired Systems
Dali & Dali 2
DALI-Digital Addressable Lighting Interface. It is a lighting interface system that allows lighting to use a digital signal for more precise and flexible control.
It is the most widely installed lighting copy system in New Zealand
Dali is a standard and is not specific to any branded manufactured
C-Bus
C-Bus is a microprocessor base control system. It's an electronic lighting system that permits the light
switches to be programmed to perform a range of functions.
With C-Bus...240 volt electrical current does not flow to the light switch.
Conventional electrical light switches permanently control particular light circuits however with C-Bus
this is not the case.
With C-Bus there is no such thing as two (2) way light switches. C-Bus buttons are totally programmable
and as such you are virtually free to change your mind and have the a button re-programmed.
Many other features available with this system and can be integrated with 3rd party devices
Scalable from 2 - 100's of devices
PDL Wiser Home
PDL Wiser is a flexible, automated smart home solution that lets the homeowner control their home with the intuitive Wiser by SE app, setting up their own automatons and moments as they decide to add them over time.
KNX system is a bus system consisting of sensors and actuators for room and building automation. With KNX technology, multiple building management disciplines can be implemented for controlling lighting systems, window shades, and room climate control.
KNX offers much of the the same functionality as DALI systems but without the need to individually address each Light fixture meaning a huge cost saving from the absence of specialist ballasts per fitting and labour to address same
System has not been manufactured for 12 years however a limited number of spare components are still available, or some electronic components can be repaired in Australia. If you one off these systems it can be up graded to an KNX control system
