| Berlin is undergoing a street lighting revolution, 5,500 LED street lights have already been deployed, while a further 2,500 are being fitted this year. |
An intelligent wireless lighting network has been installed in the Wilmersdorf district of Berlin. The street lights are able to adjust their brightness based on real-time human presence.
The intelligent lighting minimises energy waste and acts to lower light pollution by ensuring that streetlights do not burn at full capacity throughout the night when the streets are often deserted.
The sensor network is a major breakthrough in Berlin’s street lighting renovation efforts. 5,500 LED street lights have already been deployed, while a further 2,500 are being fitted this year.
The innovative street lighting approach was praised by Christian Gaebler, permanent secretary at Berlin’s Senate Department for Urban Development.
‘Residents were continuously dissatisfied with the state of the area,’ commented Christian Gaebler, permanent secretary at Berlin’s Senate Department for Urban Development and the Environment.
‘Now for the first time we are testing a technical innovation that hasn’t existed anywhere in Berlin before, in order to improve the environment,’ Gaebler concluded.
The new LEDs in combination with sensor lighting controllers are allowing Berlin to save up to 80 percent of the energy normally spent on street lighting, whilst cutting maintenance costs.
Smart cities and the internet of things firm Tvilight worked on the project in conjunction with Trilux.
The intelligent network is managed remotely via Tvilight CityManager software, which enables the street lights to be controlled on an individual and group level, whilst delivering a host of analytics such as energy savings reports, failure notifications and traffic heatmaps.

Innovative retailer Ikea is setting its sights on the smart lighting market.
Ikea’s plug and play solution features a tiny transmitter that has been installed within the luminaire, which can communicate with a remote control.

Australias first H&M store is on trend with LED lighting

When H&M arrived on Australia’s shores last year, it did so in style with a vast, mostly LED-lit flagship store in the former General Post Office building in Melbourne.
The building’s long history, and its 18 meter high ceiling, presented the facility team with a challenge of respecting its heritage while ensuring that the fixtures were as easy to maintain as possible.
This has been achieved mainly with linear LED luminaires, recessed from existing ceiling pockets, which focus the light down the central spine of the building’s three-storey glazed atrium.
Lighting designers kept in close contact with Heritage Victoria throughout the project and ensured that the lighting installation was fully reversible and didn’t do any damage to the building surface.
As well as recessed ceiling fixtures, linear LED luminaires have been placed high up to uplight the ceiling and emphasise the columns and the geometric shape of the atrium.
Lower down, mannequins sitting on swings and posing on podiums are lit with narrow-beam metal halide spotlights. The spotlights are placed in pairs on the columns around the atrium with linear LED uplights positioned in-between the spotlights to highlight the top part of the columns above.
The arcade arches around the building are lit with linear LED fixtures concealed within the structure. All light sources are warm white with a colour temperature of 3000k.
Using mainly LED light sources means the store has achieved an electrical load of 12W/m2 for the downward light and 10W/m2 for the architectural lighting to the arches, trees and ceiling structure.

Smart controls market to reach $56bn by 2020
Comments off · Posted by admin in LED, LED downlights
13 JUNE 2014
Sales of smart lighting control products are expected to reach $56 billion (€41 billion) by 2020, according to a new report.
The highest growth will happen in commercial and industrial applications of smart lighting, says a recent report by Markets and Markets. Public and government buildings are high on the list of current adopters, due to a desire to save energy.
The study looked at the key growth strategies of the major players in the market, including Acuity Brands, Legrand, Lutron and Zumtobel. Europe currently has the largest market for smart lighting, with the Asia Pacific region coming second.
Industry figures predict that IT companies will grab a substantial share of the wireless lighting controls market in the future.
Hugh Martin, CEO of US firm Sensity Systems which provides technology for data mining through connected lighting systems, told Lux: ‘A few years ago, the Consumer Electronics Show was all about gadgets. Now it’s about software and connections. The same will happen to the lighting industry, and you’ll see Cisco and Google there.’
