What is lighting control?
Lighting control is a system that controls the electric lighting of
a location be it offices, buildings, hotels, façade, monuments,
roads, highways or any other place.

Energy Saving Strategies
Daylight harvesting
Daylight harvesting systems use daylight to offset the amount of electric lighting
needed to properly light a space, in order to reduce energy consumption
savings of up to 70%
on individual
luminaires and 35%
for a building

Smart Scheduling
Smart Scheduling is time-based control of lights and fixtures.
The aim is to only turn them on when they are expected to be used.

Energy Saving Strategies
Load Scheduling
This management strategy is an option for lower rates by scheduling consumption
for lights and others where time of day is neither important nor critical.

Lighting system protocols
How do we control luminaires?
Le Quoc Thuan –Philips Lighting Vietnam V1 -2015
Lighting control protocol
A communications protocol is a set of standard rules -the syntax,
semantics, and synchronization for communicating over a computer
network or a lighting control system or both.
All controllers and sensors are connected to each other using a medium (cable or wireless)
The way these controller communicate is called “protocol”

Technologies for dimming control of light sources
Phase cut dimming
Advantages:
AC wiring (phase-cut)
No control wiring required
Disadvantages
Some dimmers require a minimum load
May exhibit flickering
Cannot dim smoothly to zero
LED lamp compatibility issues
Phase-cut dimming is the modification of the mains supply in order to reduce the overall
power being supplied to the lamps. This is achieved by ‘chopping out’ a varying section of
each cycle depending on the amount of dimming required
Le Quoc Thuan –Philips Lighting Vietnam V1 -2015
Technologies for dimming control of light sources
Leading Edge dimming (Forward Phase Control)
Leading Edge dimming (Forward Phase Control)
Forward Phase-control dimmers (Leading Edge dimmers) control the amount of voltage
available to a light source. The dimmer turns off part of the leading edge of the AC sine
wave for a preset amount of time, resulting in reduced lamp output (dimming)

Trailing Edge dimming (Reverse Phase Control)
Trailing Edge dimming (Reverse Phase-control)
Trailing Edge dimmers control the amount of voltage available to a light source. The dimmer
turns off part of the trailing edge of the of the trailing edge of the AC sine wave for a preset
amount of time, resulting in reduced lamp output (dimming).

Technologies for dimming control of light sources
Pulse-width-modulation control (PWM)
Pulse-width-modulation control is often referred to as PWM dimming.
Dimming is achieved through the rapid switching on/off of this output in pulses to reduce
the average power output over time. The extent of the dimming is regulated by the ratio of
‘on’ and ‘off ’ phases between the pulses. At full light output, the light is on and never turns
off. At 50% of light output, the light is on half the time and off half the time. The switching
occurs faster than the human eye can possibly detect, ensuing smooth dimming.

Technologies for dimming control of light sources
Signal control dimming
Some lamps depend on a transformer/ballast/driver to modify the supply in order to
perform the dimming requirements. Each device receives signals from the lighting control
system, which sends instructions to modify the dimming level.

1-10V dimming
Traditional way of dimming a driver based on dimming voltage, in 1% increments.
•The load controller transmits a low voltage signal from 1-10V:
1 volt ~ 0 % output; 10 volts ~ 100 % output.
•All fittings within one lighting group will respond to dimming instruction at once.
•Requires main voltage switch to switch off lights (can not switch off via control signal)
•Requires correct signal polarity

DSI dimming
DSI (Digital Serial Interface) is a basic protocol as it transmitted one control value to change
the brightness of all the fixtures attached to the line.
•All the ballasts or light fittings connected to the DSI channel behave identically. It
provides simple digital control of a group of lights with the whole group being able to
be turned on, off or dimmed together.
•The lamps can be switched off through the control signal alone
•Does not require signal polarity

tailored to the needs of present day lighting technology.
•Simple wiring of control lines (no group formation, no polarity)
•Max 64 fixtures in 1 control bus.
•DALI Broadcast: Simultaneous control of all units (built-in initial operation function)

DMX (Digital MultipleX-full name DMX512-A) is a communication standard originally
developed for use in theatres and discos. It allows for the control of switching, dimming,
colourchanging, changing of aiming direction and change of beam shape (gobos).
•512 channels (or 170 RGB luminaires) in 1 Universe
•Max 32 fixtures in 1 line
•Each luminaire has DMX address(es) and can be individually controlled.

Zigbee
What is ZigBee?
ZigBee is a wireless networking standard that is aimed at remote control and
sensor applications.
In lighting ZigBee allows consumers to easily control all their LED fixtures, light
bulbs, remotes, sensors and switches.
ZigBee devices can transmit data over long distances by
passing data through a mesh network of intermediate devices
to reach more distant ones

•The network builds an optimal routeto secure best performance.
•The optionalalternative routesgive the network its reliability.
•As general rule: each luminaire should see at least 2 other luminaires.
•The sensor makes contact with only one luminaire, although it may
detect more than one.
•If the contact is lost for some reason, the sensor will search for another
luminaire in range to make contact.
