At a time when smart integrations, energy conservation and well-being are becoming increasingly important in building and installation, Helvar is bringing to market a new hybrid lighting control system. The integration of Helvar's wireless and wired solutions and their combined flexibility allow smart buildings to adapt and evolve in line with new technological developments over their lifetime.
Helvar is taking a significant step in its offering by introducing a new hybrid lighting control system, combining Helvar ActiveAhead wireless and Helvar Imagine wired solutions for ultimate design flexibility. The ability to select the most appropriate lighting solution for each space is critical to ensuring optimal lighting conditions for users.
Smarter
"We at Helvar believe that smart buildings can be smarter than they are today. At the same time, buildings need to be better designed for the people who use them and more sustainable in the way they operate. The challenge is to ensure that buildings can adapt to changing needs of occupants over their lifetime. Choosing technology should not be limited to initial design, as this choice determines whether buildings can dynamically adapt over time," said Adel Hattab, CEO of Helvar. "We are very proud of our recent innovation - pairing Helvar's two leading lighting control systems to future-proof smart buildings around the world. Our hybrid solution sets a new standard for intelligent, scalable and customizable lighting control."
Wired and wireless
This advancement in hybrid lighting allows designers and consultants to leverage Helvar's full lighting control offering, ensuring adaptability for future needs through unparalleled system flexibility. This grants them the creative freedom to design environments in ways previously limited by technology choices or even considered unthinkable. Renovations and expansions can take advantage of existing integrations, and new installations can be seamlessly connected to existing ones.
"Hybrid Lighting Controls are not just a fusion of wired and wireless, they represent a paradigm shift in the lighting industry," says Matti Vesterinen, Director, Wireless at Helvar. "And why is this revolutionary? Imagine a world where adaptability does not require compromise. Helvar's Hybrid Lighting Controls seamlessly combine the best of both worlds - the wireless expandability and simplicity of Helvar ActiveAhead and the immense scalability and flexibility of wired Helvar Imagine solutions. This integration opens the doors to endless design possibilities and ensures that the technology that powers our spaces evolves with our ever-changing needs."
Extra layer of intelligence
Because lighting sensors are typically the most densely populated sensor network in a building, intelligent lighting can provide additional valuable insights, such as real-time occupancy and energy data, leading to an improved understanding of how spaces can be optimized.
"By connecting to Helvar Insights, Helvar adds another layer of intelligence to its lighting control solutions. Sophisticated data and valuable insights can then be used to seamlessly interact with other building systems," said Thet Oo, Director, Wired at Helvar. "Our end-to-end intelligent solutions offer flexibility, integration and scalability and enable smart buildings to learn, grow and evolve over their lifetime. We believe the buildings of the future will be hybrid, and with Helvar, you don't have to compromise or commit to wired or wireless lighting - you can have the best of both!"
