LUXANO 2 in Sens & DIMC version – 
smart, flexible, cost-efficient

The LUXANO 2 SENS & DIMC versions combine intelligent control with simple installation and high flexibility. Operating parameters such as output current, hold time, dimming ramp and automatic switch-off can be precisely configured via the integrated NFC interface. Only one additional phase is required for the control, which significantly reduces installation effort and costs.

Easy installation  

  • FastFix quick mounting system, with retaining clips made of stainless steel for variable mounting distances
  • Fast, front-side in/out wiring instead of classic through-wiring possible on request
  • No gateway and no software/apps required for operation

Economical operation

  • High system efficiency up to 174 lm/W
  • Long service life L80 > 50,000 h and L70 > 100,000 h at maximum ambient temperature  
  • Sensors with very large detection range save investment costs thanks to the reduced number of SENS luminaires required

Environmentally friendly and future-proof

  • No disposable luminaire, components can be replaced on site 
  • Long-term availability of spare parts, min. 10 years after series discontinuation
  • Great energy-saving potential thanks to reduced power consumption in dimming mode (up to 90 %)

Sensor detection ranges

The smaller the detection area of a sensor, the more luminaires with sensors need to be installed. The sensor installed in the LUXANO 2 SENS has a very large detection area which, under ideal conditions, covers an area of approx. 80 m². An advantage that is reflected in significantly reduced investment costs.

Sensor detection ranges

1 10 m (≈ 80 square metres)

2 8 m (≈ 50 square metres)

3 6 m (≈ 30 square metres)

4 5 m (≈ 20 square metres)

 

Positioning of the lights with sensors – Variant 1: Complete area detection

With this variant, the aim is to achieve the widest possible coverage of the area by sensors. If the detection area of a sensor is entered, all DIMC luminaires assigned to the relevant SENS luminaire switch to 100% brightness. If a DALI light management system is used, flexible assignment of the luminaires is possible. In this example, the ratio of DIMC luminaires to SENS luminaires is approximately 1:1.

Positioning of the lights with sensors – Variant 2: Safety-related area detection

SENS luminaires are positioned at entrances and exits to the car park levels, in front of entrances and exits, above the carriageway and at the parking ticket machine. Continuous general lighting of 10 % provides orientation and increases the feeling of safety throughout the car park. It is therefore not necessary to cover the entire car park with sensors. Only every fourth luminaire requires a sensor (ratio 3:1) - this saves investment costs.

Planning example: Underground car park

Object data:: 

  • public underground car park
  • floor area: 1650 m²
  • light point height: 3 m
  • 1x entrance/exit
  • 68 parking spaces
  • non-relevant daylight component
  • access via stairwell
  • the underground car park is in operation 24/7

Luminaire parameters:: 

  • control: Control phase 
  • dimming level: 10 %
  • hold time: 60 s
  • switch-off: never
  • dimming ramp 100 % → 10 % 
    luminous flux: 30s 
  • no external sensors used
  • mean illuminance in dimming mode: 18 lx
  • power consumption in dimming mode: 5 W

Example 1:  Complete area detection 
  • 57x 167 15L60G2 DIMC, 6,000 lm, 43 W
  • 32x 167 15L60G2 SENS, 5,810 lm, 36 W

The SENS luminaires are positioned directly above the carriageway, above the parking bays and at the stairwell access in order to achieve the widest possible detection of the areas.

Example 2: Safety-relevant area detection
  • 74x 167 15L60G2 DIMC, 6,000 lm, 43 W
  • 15x 167 15L60G2 SENS, 5,810 lm, 36 W 

The SENS lights are positioned directly above the carriageway and at the stairwell access. The parking bays themselves are not covered by sensors.

Savings potential

The savings potential through the use of sensors is high. If we assume that the underground car park is almost constantly frequented over a period of 12 h during the day, but that significantly fewer movements are detected at night, it can be assumed that the operating time with 100 % light is 14 h (12 h during the day and 2 h at night). An operating time of 10 h is assumed for dimmed operation.

In a direct comparison of the two examples, the purchase costs for the luminaires in example 2 are approx. 10 % lower. Energy consumption, on the other hand, is slightly lower in example 1.

 

Car park lighting with LIMAS Line PRO light management system

The luminaires listed are also available as DIMD versions with a DALI 2 interface for operation with our LIMAS Line PRO light management system.
The use of LIMAS Line PRO offers the following advantages, among others:

  • central monitoring and control of the lighting system including fault signalling. Self-contained emergency luminaires can also be integrated into the system and monitored
  • intelligent group formation and ‘tracking light’
  • absolute flexibility in the setting and possible subsequent adjustment of 
    luminous flux, dimming level and run-on time as well as in group assignment
