US-based LED manufacturer Noribachi has developed a prototype luminaire with integrated multiple high-end technology options.
The prototype luminaire was constructed using two HIGHBAY fixtures (one HIGHBAY.S and one HIGHBAY.M), each working as up- and downlights mounted to a central control module that acts as a brain for the lamp.
The uplight has an input wattage of 60w and produces over 7,500 lumens, while the downlight produces over 44,200 lumens using just 352w. Production versions of this luminaire can vary in their output depending on the application.
The IP65 rated control module contains the power supplies, a wireless Internet Protocol (IP) camera, remote step-dimming, energy monitor, and is pre-wired for occupancy sensors.
The camera offers real-time line of sight surveillance and can be controlled up to half a mile away using the supplied receiver and software. It also has record, playback, and store features.
Upgraded camera options include zoom, pan and tilt features as well as high-definition streaming. A remote control is used to activate the step-dimming feature for both directions of the lamp independently. It can also be programmed to control the camera and other options of the light.
The remote dimming and occupancy photocells can be installed near the junction box that controls a group of lights within a grid so multiple lights can be controlled using a single remote or activated when motion is detected.
The energy monitor mounted on the side of the unit was installed to track the total input wattage of the lamp. In a large-scale roll out, this will allow the user to pinpoint their energy consumption down to each lamp.
The Noribachi prototype luminaire features networked controls, a wireless IP camera, and wattage monitor.
