Wireless control of office light and home light with one click
You can wirelessly control the lights on and off in your own seat in the office or pinpoint dimming in a store.
As teleworking has become more and more popular, it is becoming more and more common to want to turn on only the lights in your own seat in the office. In addition, in store lighting, there are cases where delicate dimming is required to match the display of some products or the atmosphere of the sales floor. By forming a wireless network, it will be possible to easily control individual lights in offices and stores.
The TAIYO YUDEN’s wireless module has also been adopted for wireless controlled LED lighting by supporting a proprietary mesh network protocol*.
* The mesh network integration is developed by partner companies.
Individual control allows fine dimming such as the brightness adjustment of the fluorescent lamp in the daytime. The energy-saving effect throughout the building can also be expected by pinpoint turn-on/off control.
Concerns in implementing network control:
Large-scale wireing work.
High hurdle in network construction
For example, in the case of lighting, signal lines have already been wired for fluorescent lights in a building and a store, and large-scale wiring work is required again for individual control.
In many cases, it is difficult to carry out construction work for stores and offices in tenant buildings. Wiring work increase the difficulty of building networks.
Kaga FEI's wireless modules can be used
to build large-scale control networks without wiring.
Build proprietary wireless mesh network
By incorporating the Kaga FEI's wireless module into the lighting fixture, it is possible to adjust the light intensity of each unit or area. Communication is established between nearby lighting devices (nodes) by using proprietary "mesh network technology." In addition, each node itself automatically determines the communication route for the shortest communication time. Because of wireless communication, there is no need for wiring work of signal lines like a wired communication system. You can control the lights wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet, and you can control as many as 1000 lights from a distance with sensuous operation.
