In a significant upgrade for the Swanlite Lighting Engineer offices in Durban, South Africa, German illumination brand Vossloh-Schwabe’s Blu2Light was chosen for its superior energy efficiency, ease of functionality, and comprehensive after-sales support.
The installation showcases a modern approach to office lighting, emphasising smart controls and sustainability.
The primary goals for this project were clear:
- Energy Savings: Optimising power usage without compromising on lighting quality.
- User-Friendly Functionality: Ensuring easy control and customisation for all office spaces.
- Reliable Aftersales Support: Providing ongoing assistance to maintain system efficiency and performance.
- Smart Lighting Control
- Every area within the office is seamlessly controlled by Blu2Light, incorporating motion control and daylight harvesting to ensure optimal lux levels are always maintained. DALI relays are utilised to control 230VAC pendants and track lighting, with open areas that receive ample natural light reducing their output by up to 60%.
- Advanced Features
- Motion Control and Daylight Harvesting: These features work together to adjust light levels based on occupancy and available natural light, maximising energy savings.
- Wireless EnOcean Switches: Installed in the boardroom, these switches provide flexible and easy control of the lighting environment.
- Lina Touch APP: This application allows for precise lighting control in each space, enabling the selection of pre-set scenes or manual adjustments to suit specific needs.
