Smart Control of Outdoor Lighting

Lutron Electronics’ new Twist-Lock Radio Daylight Module brings intelligent control to outdoor lighting applications by interfacing with ANSI dimming receptacles on outdoor fixtures in parking lots, pathways and floodlights.

Ā 

TheĀ module facilitates controlĀ ofĀ pole-styleĀ luminaires acrossĀ a wide variety ofĀ manufacturers,Ā inĀ new or retrofit applications, and works with anyĀ 0-10V electronic LED driverĀ to enhance outdoor fixtures with smart control enablingĀ daylighting, scheduling and remote monitoring.

Ā 

Simple plug-and-twist smart controlĀ Ā 

The module can be easilyĀ specified intoĀ luminairesĀ manufactured withĀ standardĀ ANSIĀ 3-, 5-, or 7-pinĀ C136.41 receptacles. Once installed,Ā the built-inĀ connectionsĀ enableĀ power to the device,Ā daylight sensing,Ā switching, and 0-10V dimmingĀ withoutĀ any additionalĀ wiring, and with no needĀ toĀ installĀ anything elseĀ within the fixture. When AC (120/277V) power is applied, the factory default daylight setting will turn the fixture OFF when there is sufficient daylight available, even before a fixture is added toĀ a Limelight system.Ā Ā Ā 

Ā 

Eric Lind, Vice President of Global Specifications with Lutron, explains: “With this new, standard-interfacedĀ device, Limelight is easier than ever to design and install. Designing a system is as simple as counting theĀ number ofĀ fixturesĀ inĀ your parking lot orĀ garage.

Ā 

“NowĀ youĀ canĀ bring the benefit of the LimelightĀ controlĀ system toĀ theĀ lightingĀ fixtureĀ ofĀ yourĀ choice, instantly makingĀ almost any pole-mounted luminaire smart.”

Ā 

Lutron Enterprise Vue Software also enables connection of outdoor lighting to indoorĀ systems to allow simple management ofĀ all the lightsĀ inside and outside a facility from one interface.

Ā 

TheĀ Twist-LockĀ ModuleĀ also simplifies retrofit – pole lightsĀ withĀ traditional photocells, or a compatible socketĀ withoutĀ controls,Ā can easily be upgradedĀ to a networked control solution.Ā Ā 

Ā 

Added Benefits for Facility ManagersĀ 

Limelight gives facility management teams the tools they need to maintain safe premises and minimize maintenance downtime by providing the ability to access and troubleshoot their systems in real time. The system also saves energy and supports dark-sky initiatives to make sure the lights are at the right level at the right time.

AĀ networked,Ā wireless lighting control solution for outdoorĀ areasĀ and industrial facilities, Limelight providingĀ simple,Ā app-based lighting management,Ā enhanced facility safety, andĀ energy savings.Ā Limelight leverages a variety of control strategies toĀ deliver the right amount of lightĀ where,Ā and when,Ā it is needed.Ā For example, in a dark parking lotĀ LimelightĀ respondsĀ to occupancyĀ byĀ turning on groups of lights to provide a feeling a safety and security that is seamless to a pedestrian or driver.Ā Ā 

In the event a fixture loses power, or failure to perform as expected, the Limelight system instantly triggers an email alert to the facilities team. This ensures the issue can be fixed quickly to minimize downtime to the light, system disruption, and impact on the occupants.

Ā 

The module helps intelligently reduce power consumption andĀ measures its results. LimelightĀ canĀ emailĀ monthlyĀ energy-savings reportsĀ to the Facilities team toĀ automaticallyĀ help evaluate the effectiveness ofĀ theirĀ control plan.Ā Ā 

Ā 

TheĀ Twist-Lock ModuleĀ can now be specified and quoted on jobs. It will ship from 18 September 2020.
