Chicago,
USA -- At LightFair 2018 being held this week at McCormick Place,
Fulham will demonstrate its new elitePOE suite of Power over Ethernet
(PoE) LED engines and control software. The new PoE family currently
includes a customizable PoE light engine, a 22-inch PoE-powered LED
engine, a programmable output PoE Driver, and new control system
software for Windows. Fulham will be demonstrating its new PoE
products at LightFair Booth 602.
Fulham's
Vizion PoE light engine is a programmable PoE driver that can be
integrated into a variety of form factors. Designed to
support-two-way digital communications, the customizable Vizion PoE
Light Engine connects directly to the luminaire rather than issuing
commands through a 0-10V interface. The two-way link not only can
issue lighting control commands such as on/off, dimming, color
tuning, and timed lighting, it also can gather data about luminaire
performance, including power consumption, operating temperature, and
when the luminaire is ready to fail.
The
PoE light engine can be designed to fit the specific shape and
functionality desired by an OEM, including multiple controls
channels, white color tuning and integrated sensors. The design
supports daisy chaining additional modules or luminaires up to the
maximum 60W power budget of the 802.3bt compliant PoE interface.
In
addition to two-way communication, PoE powers LED luminaries with up
to 52W of low-voltage DC power source. This makes the luminaire more
energy efficient and less costly since no AC/DC conversion drivers
are required. Using PoE to power LED luminaires also simplifies
installation since only one cable is needed for both power and
controls.
Fulham
also is showing the Vizion 22-inch linear LED engine, a
self-contained PoE lighting solution with programmable dimming and
color tuning. The engine has on-board PoE support for power and
two-way communications for commissioning and lighting controls.
Fulham
is also demonstrating a PoE Driver that is programmed to support
250-1200mA output current and 10-40 VDC. This will enable
manufacturers to easily convert a wide range of luminaires to support
Power over Ethernet.
To
support its new PoE products, Fulham has developed the elitePoE
control system software in coordination with amBX. The Windows-based
application provides networked control over PoE luminaires, including
issuing programming commands and monitoring. The software is
available from Fulham or can be licensed for OEM branding.
"We
are delighted that Fulham chose amBX software to power the elitePoE
control system. Fulham's clients will benefit from market-leading
control capability for the new generation of connected lighting"
Neil MacDonald, COO, amBX.
"We
see lighting as the ideal infrastructure for building automation and
IoT control," said Russ Sharer, Vice President of Global
Marketing for Fulham. "Lighting is everywhere, and equipping
luminaires with Ethernet connectivity not only reduces power demands
but makes sensors available anywhere there are light fixtures. PoE is
going to be a crucial part of next-generation smart lighting, and we
want to equip our OEMs and strategic partners with the technology
their customers will demand."
Using
Ethernet cable to connect luminaires will make it easier to
accommodate high-bandwidth sensors such as IP cameras, as well as
monitoring room temperature, occupancy, and supporting building
automation functions. In addition, PoE wiring gives each LED
luminaire a unique IP address, making it easier to incorporate
lighting into an Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure, including
remote management over the web.
Fulham's
PoE products will be demonstrated at LightFair 2018 in Booth 602. For
