Intelligent
Outdoor Drivers Designed to Interoperate with Tvilight CityManager
Software for Smart City Lighting Applications, DALI, or 0-10v
Dimming.
Hawthorne,
CA, USA -- Fulham Co., Inc., a leading supplier of lighting
components and electronics for commercial and specialty applications,
today introduced a new line of WorkHorse LED Outdoor drivers that are
fully programmable, and offer a variety of controls interfaces,
including integrated wireless. The new WorkHorse LED drivers are the
first integrated drivers for integrated remote management and are
designed to work with the Tvilight
CityManager web-based Smart City management
platform. Fulham will be demonstrating the WorkHorse LED Outdoor
drivers next week in booth 3817 at LightFair in San Diego.
The
universal voltage (120-277v) family of outdoor drivers come in five
models, from 40W to 200W, offer programmable output from 250mA to
2050mA, are rated IP65 or better, and use the Fulham SmartSet
programmer and software. They are designed for outdoor luminaire
applications such as area/roadway, parking lot, parking garage, and
building exteriors.
Between
now and 2020, these applications, today penetrated just less than 11%
by LED is expected to grow to over 60% of the market, totaling an
installed base of over 100M luminaires at that time.
In
addition, the WorkHorse LED Outdoor drivers have integrated software
to connect to the Tvilight cloud-based control system. The 802.15.4
wireless device can be quickly installed and commissioned, and the
real-time software driver includes a fixture health monitor as well
as the ability to read and set the driver remotely. Sensors can be
added to the installation wirelessly.
"Luminaires
are becoming much more connected, especially outdoors", said
Russ Sharer, Vice President of Global Marketing for Fulham. "With
this WorkHorse LED outdoor driver family, we provide multiple control
options enhanced for simple integration and easy operation. Removing
the complexity from controls is what customers are demanding."
The
WorkHorse LED Outdoor drivers are designed to interoperate with
CityManager software from Tvilight, which applies Internet of Things
(IoT) for wireless management and control. Combining the LED drivers
with the CityManager software gives users a centralized management
system for outdoor lighting that provides complete remote control.
When used for street, parking, or other outdoor fixtures, the
WorkHorse LED driver can be remotely programmed for automated on,
off, and dimming, as well as providing health and performance
statistics. The drivers also can even be reprogrammed for different
light sources, such as a replacement LED light source that is more
energy efficient.
"More
and more customers are requiring programmability, not only for
manufacturing flexibility, but also for maintenance, when replacement
LED light sources are more efficient and drive current has to be
tuned to ensure the updated fixture light output matches the rest in
that room or location," Sharer said.
Optionally,
the drivers are also available with a DALI control interface, the
global IEC 62386 communications standard, and the most multivendor
interoperable of any lighting control protocols. A 0-10v version is
also available.
The
drivers will be available in May for OEM integration into luminaires.
