Basic to smart

Ten-year-old fluorescent tubes have become a nightmare for the owner of Gallery Vaňkovka. In an era of rapidly growing energy costs, most of the parking had to be lit, even though the shaded area was considerably smaller than the area where there was natural light. The constant need of replacing of broken tubes and high electricity consumption became a combination that made the center’s managers look for a smart solution.

In addition, the roof parking has a high volume of daylight. Most of the time, there is no need to illuminate it at all. There was also a big difficulty in using appropriate control systems due to heavy traffic full of metal obstacles which makes signal transmission very difficult. This is the problem which is amplified in the case of moving vehicles.

A path to savings

The old fluorescent tubes were replaced by modern LED lights, to which we connected the Savee smart boxes. No need to lay kilometers of new cables, the installation was made directly into existing circuits.

A wired solution would be extremely expensive and the ROI would be out of sight.

The Savee team also dealt with a problem consisting of high concentration of metal in the vehicles – which makes transmission hard.

Luxmeters monitor the intensity of lighting and make lighting adaptable to the amount of a daylight. We also met light level requirements for the public car park while saving energy costs.
