Retail lighting with online remote access to control and dimming
Presentation date: 24. October
Presentation time: 16:45
In his presentation, Ralph Kensmann will explain the implementation of online remote access for lighting based on his experience with a DIY chain store. With every one of the stores Ralph and his team work on, they first undertake a survey to gain an overall impression of the work commissioned, and compile ROI calculations for LED lighting with daylight control. They then develop a lighting concept and specify the required materials and equipment. Once the lighting is installed, and the building inspection process has taken place, they embark on programming the online remote access to enable lighting control at all levels. This includes developing a database that contains all lighting and control data.
