|---|
nLight® is a networked lighting control platform with an expansive product portfolio of both wired and wireless lighting controls. It scales from simple to advanced applications, indoor to outdoor, and easily connects to other building management systems.
nLight AIR exists within the nLight platform, offering a wireless solution for a variety of applications. With autonomous bridging technology, nLight AIR addresses obstructions and eliminates the need to run wires. This offering reduces overall install cost, reduces energy consumption, and helps achieve energy code compliance. nLight AIR offers many other capabilities consistent with first-class lighting control and does so using Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) radio modules and low frequency 900 MHz RF.
2- nLight Enabled Luminaires
nLight enabled luminaires connect to the nLight network via control devices either within or attached to the fixture. With enabled luminaires, everything is simplified: design, including sensor layout, installation, and configuration on-site, eliminating many interoperability challenges.
3- Basic Wired Connection for a Room
An example of a conference room with two nLight-enabled luminaires, an occupancy sensor, a power pack for controlling the whiteboard downlights, and a wall switch to manually control the lighting.
Devices within a zone are wired in any order using standard CAT 5e cabling, and almost always in a daisy-chain fashion. Once wired, the zone will self-commission and begin to function standalone. Systems with multiple control zones can be networked together; however, each local nLight control zone remains essentially its own network bus. This simplifies local communication due to the low device count in each zone.
4- Basic Wireless Connection for a Room
An example of a typical nLight AIR zone is a conference room with nLight enabled luminaires and a wall switch. Devices within a zone use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to communicate with a mobile app for commissioning and configuration. Once commissioned, the nLight AIR devices use a 900Mhz radio to communicate lighting control commands, providing robust and reliable communication to end devices.
The comprehensive, integrated security architecture of nLight AIR provides security controls at all product levels from connected luminaires to system controllers and from physical infrastructure to cloud and mobile applications.
