LIGHTING

13

Get smart with Opple OPPLE’S SMART LIGHTING system is characterised by extremely simple installation: the luminaires can be fitted into the ceiling and connected to the power supply directly out of the box. No extra wires, fittings, gateways, servers or controllers are required. All lumi- naires can be controlled via the Opple Smart Lighting App and extra energy can be saved with the use of the Opple Smart Sensors. Wouldn’t that be fantastic: a smart lighting sys- tem that can be installed at a fick of the wrist as an addition to an existing system. Without extra wiring, gateways, servers or drivers. A system in which luminaires can be recessed in the ceiling and can be connected straight out of the box. And the control panel that allows you to control the light directly works wirelessly too, it is that easy. Opple presents Smart Lighting; a fexible system that allows you to simply set various light scenes for each space. At any moment you can switch to the desired scene, to complement the activity in the of- fice or school. How smart do you want it? Another smart feature of Opple Smart Lighting is that the Smart Sensor measures both movement and the lux levels in the space. The amount of light the Opple Smart Lighting system emits is immediately adjusted to the incidental daylight to maintain the same level of light and save even more energy. It is also possible to have the light dim automatically to a set level; the ideal solution for hallways in a school or warehouse. All lu- minaires can be controlled with the free Opple Smart Lighting App. WLS27 segmented strip lights feature bright, low- maintenance LEDs and are available in several length and colour combinations: • Green/red models (available in either 285 or 570 mm lengths). • Green/yellow/red models (available in either 430 mm or 850 mm lengths). The lights are available from Turck Banner with ei- ther a diffuse or heavy diffuse window. The heavy diffuse option provides softer, more uniform light that is more comfortable for operators working in close proximity to the device. Like a traditional tower light, each segment of WLS27 segmented models can represent a differ- ent status. For example, in factory applications, a green segment can indicate that a machine is run- ning smoothly, while a red segment can indicate a critical condition that requires attention. The bright light output and long length of the strip light generate highly visible indication that can be easily identified from a distance or at an angle. This makes it an ideal alternative to industrial stoplights which have a more limited viewing angle. The rugged IP69K design provides reliable indication in a wide variety of conditions, including harsh out- door environments. The sealed lights are constructed with sturdy aluminium frames in shatterproof poly- ester housings, making them resistant to wet envi- ronments, impact, and breakage. The housing also resists a variety of chemicals and cleaning agents for operation in a wider range of applications. Cascadable models of the WLS27 segmented strip light can display the same status on multiple devices simultaneously, which makes it even easier to see status changes even if an operator is looking down or away. Cascading also simplifies installation, eliminates additional wiring, and only requires power on one side of the application. Segmented strip lights for visual indication Reliable performance in harsh environments Ideal for all applications The Opple Smart Lighting system offers luminaires

for office and industrial environments. Smart panels and downlights are suitable for your office environments. Warehouses, production areas and parking garages are covered by the Opple Smart Highbay and the Opple Smart Waterproof, which work together with the Opple Smart Microwave sensor to maximise energy savings when there is no one around. No mat- ter if it is an industrial hall or a classroom, all applications are possible with the Opple Smart Lighting System.
