Ex-Or, the lighting controls company recently acquired by Honeywell, offers a complete range of energy and cost-saving lighting controls and managed lighting systems for both newbuild and refurb commercial property projects.Architects, lighting designers and electrical consultants are choosing Ex-Or LightSpot controls which automatically detect the presence of occupants and monitor levels of daylight to automatically switch lights on when needed and off when they are not.
LightSpot utilises all three major types of presence detection technology: passive infrared (PIR), ultrasonic and microwave. As each is suited to a different type of application or pattern of usage, there is always a perfect LightSpot control solution, whatever the application.
For flexible, building-wide lighting control there is the Ex-Or MLS Digital Managed Lighting System. Operating via a network of communicating detectors, the system delivers energy savings via presence detection and daylight regulation. Detectors share information on occupancy and light levels to provide lighting tailored to the needs of occupants – and in conveniently configured work zones.
These operational zones can be set up quickly and easily using a hand-held programmer; there is no centralised computer. Settings and lighting configurations can be changed again just as simply whenever required. To enhance safety and comfort, lighting in key circulation areas can be held on automatically when any other programmed zone is occupied.
Whether specifiers choose LightSpot or MLS, the benefits of lighting management from Ex-Or are clear. It dramatically cuts energy use, so reducing energy bills and helping to cut the building occupiers' carbon footprint. It ensures compliance with legislation such as Part L of the Building Regulations. As the amount of light is automatically set at optimum levels it delivers the most productive working environment for the building's occupants.
The Ex-Or lighting management and control offering is complemented by systems providing scene-setting and dimming, emergency lighting testing, washroom management and quick and simple plug-in connection.
