Advanced Lighting Systems
Add control to your system for benefits galore!
New lighting technologies such as LED or induction use as much as 90 percent less energy than bulbs based on older technology with the same lumen output, and last 50 to 100 times longer. That's a great start, if you want to save energy. But adding Echelon’s control technology to your lighting system — whether it uses advanced lighting technology or not — offer more. It enhances functionality, lowers installation and system costs, and increases business opportunities.
Smart lighting systems can offer features such as light harvesting, optimized lighting levels, dynamic lighting output based on sensors, and dynamic or on-demand color shifting. What's more, smart light fixtures can communicate impending failure, which can help reduce maintenance costs. And all of these benefits can add up to a stronger ROI when it's time to retrofit a building or store.
Benefits of Adding Echelon Controls
Whether you integrate our Pyxos platform or our LonWorks Power Line technology into your LED lighting system, you'll enjoy these benefits:
- Flexible lighting environments. Change the color and intensity of light emitted from a single lighting fixture quickly and affordably. Create dynamic scenes and experience ambient lighting in a whole new way.
- Lower installation and system costs. Lighting system designers can work without costly integration tools and services. Electricians can install lighting systems without any PC-based network tools, thanks to the self-organizing feature within the Pyxos networking protocol and the Interoperable Self-Installation (ISI) feature included in LonWorks Power Line networks. And consumers can finally create complex lighting scenarios with push-button ease, without needing technicians or network management tools.
- Automatic fault detection. With two-way communication, system faults can be detected and fixed as soon as they occur.
