Central Management Systems in Lighting: Luxury or Essential Tool?

Central Management Systems (CMS) are explored as either a luxury or essential tool in lighting design, focusing on energy efficiency, maintenance, and procurement. Details covered include the impact of design, Green Public Procurement (GPP), and government standards. Insights on control, maintenance, procurement, and a range of CMS suppliers are provided. Factors such as communication protocols, commissioning, equipment costs, and risks are discussed. Learn about key considerations, risks, and the importance of reliable CMS for efficient lighting control. Refer to the link for more information.

  2. EU & UK Targets CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC)

  3. MH & SON Directive 2005/32/EU • Ecodesign • Tertiary sector –consultation 4th Sept

  4. Impact of design • Green Public Procurement (GPP) means that public purchasers take account of environmental factors when buying products, services or works, whole life cycle – consultation July • DEFRA policy brief ‘Improving the energy performance of street lighting & traffic signals

  5. DEFRA Policy brief • Government demand street lighting in line with indicative standards • Prefer qualified designers to carry out scheme design • Trimming • The application of variable lighting levels • Reduced highway operations • Trend towards Central Management Systems (CMS)

  6. 65% 35% GPP • EuP to GPP: can bring additional energy savings

  7. CMS • Control • Photocell, load, accuracy, trimming, dynamic lighting levels (up & down), part night lighting …. • Maintenance • Fault identification, automatic reporting of faults, fault prediction, scouting, metering, reliability, future proof • Emergency situations, adverse weather, maintenance operations • Procurement • Half hourly trading

  8. List of suppliers • LeafNut system (Harvard Engineering) • Vizion system (Zodion Control Systems) • Firefly • Datek street light control system (Royce Thompson) • Ask Controls • Menolinx System • Luminex / Elecheon • Telensa PLANet (Public Lighting Active Network) • Minos System • Mayflower • Candelon (SELC) • Starsense 2 (Philips) • How to choose?

  12. Wireless • Direct • Leap frog

  13. Mains borne

  14. Considerations • Communication protocol • Ballast considerations • Server location • Commissioning • Energy measurement

  15. Costs • Equipment • Commissioning • Service

  16. Error reporting Convenient map view Data provision

  17. Risks • Sole provider • Reliability • Reliable communication • Availability of complete systems • Ability to supply • Rapid development of systems • Retro-fitting • On going support costs • Future proof

  18. Lighting control in action

  19. Regulation xx/2009/EC* Luminaires are compatible with appropriate dimming and control systems that take account of available daylight as well as traffic and weather conditions and also compensate for variations in surface reflection and the initial dimensioning of the installation due to the lamp lumen maintenance factor
