Powerful Tools For Optimal Energy Savings
Integrated controls typically use 25-75% less energy.
We engineer lighting control solutions for industrial, commercial, and government applications.
Minimise Energy Use & Maximise Savings
Automated Control
Lighting control systems typically provide the ability to automatically adjust a lighting device's output based on:
- Chronological time schedules that incorporate specific times of the day, week, month, or year
- Solar time. Outdoor lighting is switched on/off according to a schedule based on sunrise/sunset at a facility's geographic location.
- Occupancy is generally determined by a passive infrared, ultrasonic, or hybrid occupancy sensor.
- Human Centric/Circadian Lighting goes from good to great with automation that provides consistent, well-timed control.
Daylight Harvesting
Daylight harvesting is a lighting control that reduces energy consumption by dimming or switching off artificial lighting when sufficient natural light is present in the space.
Security
Light can deter individuals from areas where they should not be. A security breach, for example, could trigger floodlights. Preventative measures include illuminating key access points such as walkways at night.
Alarm Conditions
Alarm conditions typically include inputs from other building systems, such as the Fire Alarm or HVAC. For example, this may trigger an emergency 'all lights on' or ' all lights flashing' command.
Program Logic
Program logic can tie all the above elements together using constructs such as "if-then-else" statements and Logical Operators.
Convenience
A Smart Lighting System actively responds to the occupants' activities and anticipates lighting needs. It enables efficient tracking of electrical output to facilitate green energy planning, satisfy building codes, and make billing more manageable.
A Block To A City
Web-Based Control & Monitoring
Web-Based Control & Monitoring
Lighting represents a significant cost for cities, towns, and industrial facilities as they face the challenge of fewer financial resources to address a long list of needs. Energy Solutions Alliance is a leader in developing scalable, intelligent lighting management solutions that provide the lowest cost of ownership. Our Smart Controls ensure lighting where and when needed, eliminating wasted energy, reducing costs, and improving Return on Investment.
ESA Smart Controls provide the functionality to leverage and maximize state-of-the-art LED efficiency, including color, quality, dimming (rapid 0-100%), and motion sensors.
Our Streetlight Management System is Plug & Play. For traditional LED streetlights, intelligent switching reduces energy costs by up to 30%, and automated fault detection reduces maintenance costs by at least 50%, eliminating the need for late-night patrols.
Web-Based Control & Monitoring
Web-Based Control & Monitoring
Web-Based Control & Monitoring
Our Smart Control System uses the latest RF-Wireless and GPRS/GSM technology to allow control of a few streetlights to an entire system. Control solutions range from low-cost controls that replace digital timers on individual poles to systems that control many streetlights. Our Plug & Play system is installed on new LEDs or retrofitted for existing streetlights. And it can be transferred from traditional streetlights to LEDs in the future.
How It Works
Plug the Lighting Controller into a streetlight where a photocell exists. Once plugged in, the controller communicates with the Wireless Gateway via RF-Wireless and GPRS/GSM technology and sends messages back to the Control Station. From the Control Station, fault messages are sent via email or text to the field staff so they can fix the problem. Managers and maintenance staff can see and analyze system activity from the convenience of their desktops.
Streetlight Controls Key Features
- Power Savings: Intelligent scheduling reduces energy costs by as much as 30%.
- Low Investment: Very low investment cost for managing traditional streetlights or LEDs.
- Reduced Light Pollution: By reducing or turning off lights when not needed.
- Maintain Public Safety While Saving Money: Only provide light where and when needed.
- No Training Required – Plug & Play: If you can install a photocell, you can install our controller.
- Installation: The Lighting Controller plugs into an existing photocell. Photocells required for light operation are plugged into the controller. Installation or retrofitting is easy with the choice of mounting options.
- Scalability: Expanding the system to new or remote areas is fast and easy.
- Wireless Technology: Enables programming, monitoring, and control of streetlights over any size area.
- Integration with Google Maps and Google Earth: Provides an intuitive and familiar user interface that requires little training.
- Multiple Protocol Support: Support of multiple industry-standard protocols enables seamless integration with other systems and networks.
- Web-based Control & Monitoring: Enables comprehensive display of live and historical data and remote configuration.
- Control: Streetlights can be switched ON/OFF as needed. Each streetlight can support up to ten schedules that control On/Off and Dimming levels for specific times of day/year. Schedules can be programmed on a daily/monthly/yearly basis. Or they can be controlled locally using a built-in Astro-clock that calculates sunset and sunrise times using GPS location and time zone data.
- Monitoring: Communication and energy monitoring modules continuously update the Control Station.
- Fault Monitoring and Alarm Call Service: Extensive fault monitoring is provided based on data that reports light burnout, lamp cycling, ballast or driver failure, communication failure, and more. Faults sent to the MCS generate alerts to visualize and rectify critical issues.
- Mobile Workforce Management: Workforce can interact with the system in the field.
- Report Generation: Detailed real-time reports of energy consumption by streetlight sent via email.
- Burn Hours: The controller monitors the number of hours the lamp has burned, allowing for preplanning of lamp replacement.
- Comprehensive Energy Dashboards: Energy usage and energy saved is displayed region or system-wide on a user-specified schedule.
- Hosted or Onsite Monitoring Software Available: For communities that do not wish to invest in monitoring software and equipment, ESA can provide monitoring.
