What is industrial lighting control?

Industrial lighting control is an intelligent system that automatically regulates the lighting of halls, warehouses and production areas using occupancy, motion and lux sensors, in order to optimise energy consumption.

How much can be saved in an industrial environment?

In industrial facilities an energy saving of 30–40% is typically achievable through zoned control, dimming and daylight harvesting.

Is it suitable for high-bay warehouses?

Yes. With aisle-based control in high-bay warehouses the lighting runs at full output only in the aisles actually in use, which significantly reduces energy consumption.

Can it be integrated into an industrial BMS?

Yes. Industrial lighting control can be integrated into a building management system (BMS), so consumption data can be monitored and audited.

What technology does it use?

On industrial projects, digital control to the DALI Alliance standard is common, as is an integrated system based on KNX Association technology.

Industrial Lighting Control

Industrial lighting control is designed to operate the lighting of halls, warehouses, production areas and high-bay storage intelligently and zone by zone, delivering significant energy savings and predictable operation.

How does it work?

The system regulates the lighting using occupancy sensors, lux sensors and programmable controllers. The luminaires do not run continuously but on demand — dimmed or at full output, according to how the given area is being used.

Available solutions:

occupancy- and motion-sensing control
lux-based regulation (daylight harvesting)
aisle control for high-bay warehouses
zoned hall lighting
BMS integration

The technology behind it

Industrial projects typically use standardised systems, such as dimmable networks built on the DALI Alliance protocol or building automation solutions based on KNX Association technology.
