LED lighting offers much more controlling possibilities than traditional systems, applicable to new installations or updating an existing systems.
In addition to the energy saved by the new technology, integrating LEDs with a control system can offer an additional 20-30% saving.
The objective of controlling the light is to the reduce the light output when the need is lower or absent.
Below we present the control systems available with our products, systems ranging from the management of a few lighting points to entire industries and cities.
It’s an automatic system, completely integrated in the light fixtures that does not require any additional wiring or external hardware.
Designed to reduce the luminous flux according to a preset program with a maximum of 5 phases (time bands) per operation cycle, each one customizable with a different level of reduction as shown in the image on the side.
For the first 3 days after installation, the lamps will operate at full power, acquiring ignition times, and then begin to reduce power from the fourth day. Operation is based on the calculation of a virtual midnight (mid-ignition point) which is used as a midnight reference for the programmed reduction scenario.
The virtual midnight calculation is automatic and continuously updated throughout the year.
The system is particularly used for street and parking lot lighting.
They are lighting cable control systems, both require the installation of 2 additional poles for operation in addition to the power supply.
1-10V is an analog control, based on the distribution of a voltage signal between 1 and 10V, where 1V corresponds to 10% luminous intensity and 10V corresponds to 100% luminous intensity.
One or more lamps can be controlled by an illuminance or presence sensor using this communication line.
When wiring, it is mandatory to respect the polarity of the 2 dimming cables, especially if control units are present.
DALI is a digital control, where each lamp is assigned a unique address, which allows the control of the individual light points and communication with the lamps to verify their correct operation.
DALI allows the creation of control groups and the interface with presence and luminance sensors for the control of entire production and local lines.
Our street lamps are available with a wireless remote control system to manage dimming functions, consumption monitoring (statistical development) and faults.
The light intensity control can be carried out individually or divided into control groups, either by acting manually on the lamps or by customizing up to 6 fully automatic programs.
The control platform is exclusively online and can also be controlled by mobile devices, equipped with a standard Google Maps application for immediate location of the lamp / control group.
Communication between terminal and coordinator is totally secure and encrypted via https protocol.
The system consists of:
The system is used for street lighting, large car parks and control of tunnel entrances.

The system is particularly used for street and parking lot lighting.
It is a lamp management system that uses existing power supply cables.
Pulses are sent through the cables at frequencies much higher than the normal 50/60Hz frequency which are interpreted by the control units inside the individual light points as commands to vary the luminous flux.
The system can be used with all our road and tunnel luminaires.
Our wireless remote control system and the conveyed waves, for the management of the tunnel entrances, communicate with a luminance probe mounted outside that detects in real time the level of natural light, adjusting the intensity of the lamps to avoid the black hole effect and glare.
The main statistics show that tunnels are overall less prone to accidents than the corresponding open-cast sections. This is due to the fact that traffic in tunnels is not exposed to meteorological factors, intersections, mutual glare and pedestrian conflict.
Entry and exit areas, if not properly lit, can become dangerous traps for road users.
Glare and black hole effect can make the driver completely unable to see a column of vehicles queuing up or other obstacles, preventing them from reacting in time. Luminance, illuminance and uniformity levels are set by regulations according to traffic characteristics, road condition and speed.
The representation to the side shows the arrangement of the luminaires according to the different luminance levels required in the gallery areas.
Reinforcement lighting should be controlled throughout the day to make entering and exiting the gallery as safe as possible. At night, the reinforcement system is switched off and the permanent system dimmed according to the characteristics of the tunnel.
The best control can be achieved by adjusting the portals with luminance probes, for instant power adjustment according to the external light level.
