Lighting Concepts
Lumens (lm) quantity of visible light emitted by a source
LUX (lux) unit of illuminance
1 lux = 1 lumen / sq meter

Luminous Efficacy (lm/W)

Lumen Maintenance (lm80: 6000 hrs)
Color Temperature (CCT)
Color Rendering Index (CRI)
Ingress Protection Rating (IPXX)

Energy Efficient Lighting Decisions

Quality lighting environment = performance + aesthetics

Determine LUX required

Factor in Natural lighting
Decide Fitting & Color for Aesthetics
Decide placement & IP ratings
Decide Wattage
Dimming required?
Motion sensing required?
Photo Sensing / Time Control required?
Remote Control required?

LED Lights: Thermal Management

30% Light, 70% Heat!
High temperature reduces life and
brightness
Ensure proper heat dissipation
Avoid fully enclosed fittings
Avoid cheap products
No MCPCB
Plastic Casing
Inferior LEDs
No surge/ESD protection

Considerations for LED Solar Lighting

Perfect for spread out areas

Saves wiring
Suitable when power unreliable/missing
Watch out for shading
Theft!
High Capital Cost
Cost can be reduced with automatic
dimming + motion control + time control

Security & Lighting

Proper lighting increases effectiveness of
your security cameras
Use motion sensors to save power
LEDs for instant ON

Dimming
Types
0-10V lighting control
TRIAC Dimming
DMX
DALI
Ballasts need to support dimming
For LEDs, drivers need to be dimmable

(c) 2016 Green Pyramid Energy | info@greenpyramidenergy.com | www.greenpyramidenergy.com

Dimming: 0-10V

Earliest and Simplest

Control signal: DC Voltage 0-10 V
0V = OFF | 10V = 100% Brightness
Widely used in commercial and industrial lighting
Pros
Simple to install and diagnose
Small Current = Thin wire
Cons
One wire per control channel = too many wires
Voltage drop for long cable
Interference can cause flickering
(c) 2016 Green Pyramid Energy | info@greenpyramidenergy.com | www.greenpyramidenergy.com

Dimming: Triac
Chop the AC waveform
May not work with all
inductive loads
LED Drivers can be made
Triac dimmable
Need to check for
compatibility

(c) 2016 Green Pyramid Energy | info@greenpyramidenergy.com | www.greenpyramidenergy.com

Dimming: DMX
DMX512 (Digital Multiplex)
