Digital Lumens, manufacturer of the Intelligent LED Lighting System, has incorporated daylight harvesting features in its latest LED lighting fixtures and Light Rules control system.
Digital Lumens's new 26,000-lumen intelligent lighting fixture.
The fixtures are integrated light sensors, which evaluates the present ambient light and automatically fine-tunes light outputs to preferred levels. Controlled by the novel LightRules software, the daylight harvesting feature saves 50% more energy, based on the application. A standard component of the Digital Lumens’ 18,000- and 26,000-lumen high bay LED fixtures, the daylight sensors determine the amount of light available from windows or skylights and slowly and intelligently fine-tune the output to reach preferable light levels. By incorporating the daylight sensors into the fixtures gradual light balancing is achieved that ensures uniform levels of light and a smooth response to varying light levels. In order to achieve high levels of energy efficiency, granular control over the behavior of each fixture is offered. The incorporation of the daylight harvesting feature does not need any hardware to be bought for using the ambient light. Since the system is controlled remotely through LightRules, settings can be adjusted easily and quickly without the use of a lift.
According to the CTO and co-founder of Digital Lumens, Brian Chemel, the Digital Lumens lighting system has been extended to respond smartly to the environment and to offer higher energy efficiency. The integration of daylight sensors ensures precise control, higher energy-savings and flexibility. The intelligent, distributed lighting system ensures that light can be easily controlled hence offering value to customers and ensuring considerable energy-savings.
