WHAT’S NEXT FOR LED LIGHTING IN THE WORKPLACE? With LEDs considered the ‘norm’ in most lighting applications, we are long past the stage where designers solely work towards energy goals. The combination of LEDs and controls is the future, and one that holds enormous potential for creating greater, more holistic workplaces - from offices right through to warehouses and logistic centres.
O
ne example comes from, international logistics group, Kuehne+Nagel. Its net zero carbon initiative aims to achieve carbon neutrality for its sea freight shipments by 2030. An important building block on the way is the lighting of its logistics sites. It was time to upgrade its conventional, uncontrolled lighting systems. A new lighting solution was sought to meet typical logistics requirements and deliver quality light and energy efficiency. Above all, the system needed to be conveniently monitored and controlled via a lighting management system. TRILUX was selected as a one-stop full-service provider. The hall lighting and outdoor areas at both locations were retrofitted with customised TRILUX
solutions, including E-Line NEXT, Mirona Fit, Aragon Fit, Lumena Star and Jovie, controlled via the LiveLink indoor and outdoor system. The project reduced electricity costs by approximately 30%. At the same time, the light quality increased, with sometimes surprising effects. At the Obergeorgswerder site, deaf employees reported feeling much safer in their work environment thanks to the higher lumen packages. Furthermore, the TRILUX E-Line NEXT LED is IoT-ready and can be equipped with IoT components via plug-and-play. Beyond lighting, in Obergeorgswerder, ‘heat mapping’ is implemented. Powerful 3D sensors in the luminaires determine the paths of people and vehicles in the halls to find hot spots and congestion
areas. Data is then displayed as graphically prepared frequency distributions on the hall floor plan, helping the centre adapt and reconfigure its layout to avoid the risk of accidents. Leighton James, Product and Marketing Director, TRILUX Lighting UK, says, “Trends such as digitalisation, globalisation, and networking have profoundly changed how we work in structural terms. We are finding that employers are now thinking beyond energy goals and focussing more on their employee’s health, safety, and wellbeing. They are using LED lighting infrastructure to create the workplace of the future.” To read the full project story visit: trilux. com/gb/blog/smart-in-the-fast-lane/ TRILUX, trilux.com
