by Brianna Crandall — February 3, 2016—Architectural-grade lighting provider Amerlux recently announced a partnership with Enlighted, a provider of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for commercial buildings and retail applications. The agreement will enable integration of Enlighted’s intelligent and advanced lighting sensors and controls with innovative light-emitting diode (LED) lighting fixtures from Amerlux.
The Enlighted sensors integrate with such Amerlux products as its Linea line of LED lighting (International Linea 1.5″ Direct LED shown).
Amerlux CEO and President Chuck Campagna said:
We are very excited to be the very first lighting manufacturer to partner with Enlighted for its Customer First program. This relationship positions us to offer LED lighting fixtures with built-in advanced smart sensors supported by a state-of-the-art analytics platform. Our customers now have the ability to utilize control-embedded lighting that’s smart, code-compliant, and ahead of the technology curve.
Enlighted’s advanced digital sensors are available with Amerlux’s Linea and Grüv lines, as well as the new Stellina family of direct and indirect LED fixtures, and Stellina and Curvano LED low bay fixtures.
The sensors are engineered with unique, secure data-rich architecture to provide insights around the clock while helping to achieve sustainability goals and reducing costs. The controls offer motion and photometric sensors, dimming capabilities, and data collection.
Campagna added:
Integrating intelligence into our LED lighting fixtures will dramatically impact our customers’ bottom line. The big data analytics generated through this technology will enable high-growth customers to achieve significant efficiencies and substantial cost savings.
Smart customized controls help facilities management professionals reduce lighting and energy costs with an impressive return on investment (ROI) of up to 80 percent for public buildings, without compromising comfort. A seamless, dense data cloud-based network collects, aggregates, and communicates detailed information wirelessly on building occupancy and performance, environmental conditions, ambient light levels, temperature, and energy consumption.
The system has the potential to extend savings to heating / ventilation / air-conditioning (HVAC), real-time demand response, security, and safety systems.
Joe Costello, CEO, Enlighted, concluded:
Lighting is only the beginning. Our mission is to change the way we interact with the spaces around us. These sensors give you unparalleled control over the spaces you manage. We offer a no-compromise solution, reducing energy spends by 65 to 80 percent while increasing the comfort and employee satisfaction of building users. For the first time ever, we are making fully responsive, fully personalized, fully connected workspaces a reality.
Enlighted’s lighting control solutions are engineered to dramatically improve energy efficiency in buildings, and the large volumes of data collected by the smart sensor network can enhance a broad range of applications, including space planning, indoor positioning and retail store analysis.
