Organic Response is a new autonomous energy saving and flexible lighting control system, offered by Havells Sylvania as a feature in a range of fixtures. With Organic Respnse Havells Sylvania offers an out-of-the-box plug-and-play control system that doesn't require extra cabling or programming. “We took inspiration from the way nature solves complex problems to come up with a lighting control system which is incredibly simple, robust and scalable” says Chris Duffield, Co-Founder and CEO of Organic Response. “By making advanced lighting control affordable our aim is to have a material impact on the global CO2 produced by lights. Having a group as large and dynamic as Havells Sylvania join the vision is a terrific step toward achieving that goal.”
Organic Response uses distributed intelligence to deliver a highly responsive, flexible and energy efficient lighting control system. Requiring no low-voltage wiring or commissioning and ready-incorporated within luminaires from Havells Sylvania, installers will be able to benefit from significant savings in time, complexity and cost for their projects. The control system can reduce energy used by up to 80% when compared with using no control system.
By employing Distributed Intelligence, Organic Response technology allows each individual luminaire to make lighting decisions based on the presence of occupants sensed internally, occupancy information received from neighboring luminaires, ambient light level sensed internally and algorithms based on the environments in which it operates, for example an open office or corridor. Each luminaire then communicates its knowledge to surrounding luminaires so they can adapt accordingly. Although luminaires act on their own, using Distributed Intelligence means all the luminaires in a space act together creating a robust and responsive system and a very comfortable experience for occupants.
“This is a real breakthrough in lighting control technology” says Sam Woodward, SBU Manager for Lighting Control at Havells Sylvania. “To make IR wireless networked lighting control an integral part of a luminaire, thus removing the hassle of wiring for installers, is a real benefit to the industry and opens it up to whole range of applications. We believe controls are a key facet of energy efficient lighting projects and the relationship between Organic Response and Havells Sylvania will be an exciting technology partnership to watch in the years ahead as we engineer ever more energy saving solutions together.”
Organic Response is available for lay-in suspension, surface mounting and recessed luminaires, downlights and other selected light solutions based on both T5 and LED technology. Contact us for custom projects or tailored applications.
