Control Solutions

Whenever you come across lighting installations your will also hear about control solutions. Many of our clients may get lost in translation and even experienced contractors want to run away when they hear words like DMX or other digital control signals. With over 25 years experience in entertainment lighting, we are very confident that we can help you to make the right choice to get the best possible effect out of your lighting installation.

LEAD/TRAILING EDGE

Leading edge and trailing edge dimmers are the most common dimmers used in residential or mid sized commercial installations. But with the increase of LED driver manufacturers it became more and more difficult to match the right drivers with the dimmers. This caused very negative effects to the light quality during the dimming process. We have done our homework and can help you.

DALI

Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) is a protocol for lighting control gear in building automation. Most electricians and mid sized contractors have come across this signal with surely mixed experiences. DALI has several advantages but may also cause issues that are difficult to overcome if you make the wrong choice during the product selection. Share your ideas – we can help!

DMX

DMX !? Oh my God! These words combined with a shaking head is the usual impression when owners ask designers or contractors to use this signal. Digital Multiplex (DMX512) is in use since decades and only slowly made its entry into the architectural lighting market. We do not know why it took such a long time but we have used it since decades and surely can answer your questions how to use it.

SMART HOME

Smart home solutions and IoT will surely enter all our homes sooner or later but we would also like to inform you that a lot of systems do not work together properly. So it will be your call if you want to rely on a single system to decide if your air-con will work or your lights will be on when you need them. Our philosophy is to split the load and not rely on only one single system to operate your business.

KNX

KNX is an open standard for commercial and domestic building automation. KNX devices can manage lighting, blinds and shutters, security systems, energy management, audio video, white goods, displays, remote control etc. It made its way in Europe and slowly also entering the Asian markets. Choosing the right system will depend on your project and your future plans. Contact us to share your ideas.

PWM

Pulse width modulation (PWM), is a method of reducing the average power delivered by an electrical signal. Complicated ? Actually it is not because this is the common method to dim LEDs. With our experience gained from entertainment lighting, we know what specs are relevant as well as we can offer multiple solutions to get your control signal into a PWM signal that will finally dim down your light flicker-free.
