Energy savings of over 75% have been delivered by Thorlux Lighting in a number of healthcare projects undertaken over the past 18 months via the use of its so-called ‘SMART’ lighting control system, the company explains.
SMART includes:
- ‘Maintained illuminance’: A discrete sensor, integral to the luminaire, that monitors ambient light and presence to control output to the correct lighting level.
- Power Monitoring: The ability to acquire operational data from the luminaires to accurately measure energy usage.
- Motionline: Individual Thorlux SMART luminaires may be linked into a grouped system, allowing luminaires to ‘communicate’ within a group to ensure the correct lighting level.
Thorlux Lighting, which has manufactured luminaires in the West Midlands for 78 years, supplies products that ‘focus on low cost of ownership’ – through being ‘energy-efficient’, ‘long-life’, ‘easy-to- maintain’, and ‘rapid-to-install’. Committed to minimising the environmental impact of both its manufacturing processes and its products, Thorlux has also developed a Government-approved carbon offsetting programme.
