When is the right time to implement a light management system?
- Right at the replacement of the conventional lighting installation?
- Should you rather wait a few more years?
- Perhaps financial resources are not available at the time of the replacement?
- Or you might want to start with a small test installation to gain experience?
There is no unique answer to this question. But no matter how you decide, one thing is for sure: if standard light fittings have been installed, a simple retrofitting or conversion to a light management system is no longer possible.
At this point the concept of „Ready for Light Management Systems“ (RFL) comes in!
READY FOR LIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
You have the choice - timing is yours!
The Ready for Light Management Systems (RFL) light fittings keep all options open and are prepared for retrofitting sensors and light management components. One or two Zhaga-compliant sockets integrated in the housing enable the subsequent, tool-free installation of the necessary components such as controllers, radio antennas and sensors. The use of autonomous sensors without connection to a light management system is also possible at any time.
Due to standardisation of the sockets according to Zhaga Book 18, you are not tied to a specific light management system. You can freely choose from all manufacturers who also use standardised Zhaga socket connections. The underlying system of the light fittings is the same - pre-installed permanently (LIMAS) and retrofitted with HUB on site (RFL).
In general, the following RFL versions are possible:
RFLOWith Zhaga socket at the top of the housing for subsequent retrofitting of light management components e.g. a controller with antenna (see components for retrofitting) | RFLUWith Zhaga socket at the bottom of the housing for subsequent retrofitting of sensors to control the light fittings self-sufficiently (see components for retrofitting) | RFLOUWith Zhaga socket at the top and the bottom of the housing for subsequent retrofitting of both light management components and sensors (see components for retrofitting) |
