PoE lighting systems provide far more flexibility than traditional high voltage lighting. LED lighting has proven
It’s superiority in both residential and commercial environments. Using PoE Lighting provides many advantages to facility management including time and cost savings, as well as safety and reliability.
Globalnet Systems design and install your lighting and the automated lighting control system which is programmed to respond intuitively, controlling your task lighting, ambience and security as well as your energy costs
Why use PoE?
Using PoE Lighting has many advantages to facility management.
Time and cost savings – Time and expense of installation, when compared to typical high voltage installation, is significantly decreased. Network cables do not require high voltage and can be located anywhere. Additionally, these low voltage installations do not require licensed electricians. Certified installers can be utilized at a lower hourly rate than electricians.
Flexibility – Consumer can easily adapt new lighting policies at the touch of a button from their mobile device.
Safety – Low voltage cables present little to no risk of electrical injuries during installation and risk of electrical fire is greatly reduced.
Reliability – LVT’s unique system is controlled by a central source, rather than a collection of distributed circuits. This centralized system reduces mechanical failures and allows for easy maintenance if an issue does occur. It can also be supported by UPS.
Information – Data is collected and available in real-time, seamlessly reporting any anomalies for better facility management.
WORKPLACE PERFORMANCE
Dynamic White Colour Temperatures
Tunable LED lighting has progressed to almost mainstream technology. By adjusting the relative intensities of warm and cool LEDs, end users can change the colour temperature of the device.
The thickness of the phosphor layer in the LED, together with the wavelength of the blue chip, influence what the colour temperature of the LED will be. The colour temperature of a light source is measured in Kelvins (K). Light with a temperature over 5,000K is typically known as cool colour lighting, with a bluish white appearance. Lower colour temperatures of between 2700K-3000K are warm colours, with a more yellowish white appearance.
Using this technology has allowed for lighting to be programmed at the same warmth as daylight, with natural highs and lows as the day progresses. These advances have meant that the artificial lighting in offices, schools, shopping centres and homes can be as close to natural light as possible, making the effects of human centric lighting highly effective.
