Changing over to LED Lighting is a simple and effective way to make significant energy and cost savings. However, an LED solution is only effective if you turn it off when no one is there. You may think “just use a switch”. However, installing a switch is often problematic. You may need to add new wiring, requiring the walls to be cut, and on glass partitions, how can you add wiring through glass? These challenges have often caused many installations to opt out of using any form of controls or, limit it to occupancy sensors with no manual control.

To address these issues, Sylvania has launched SylSmart Standalone Room – a solution that bridges the gap between basic PIR-based products and complex DALI-based solutions. SylSmart Standalone Room is designed to be a solution with minimum installation, while offering maximum control; whereby old luminaires can be replaced simply with SylSmart luminaires which require no additional control cables. Therefore the solution provides the flexibility to control each and every luminaire like a more sophisticated system but without the burden of the cost or complex wiring. The user can take full control of light levels by using wireless occupancy sensors and EnOcean’s BLE Easyfit wall switches (Bluetooth^® Low Energy).

Flexible placement and easy configuration

With no mains wires, the EnOcean switch can be placed anywhere giving you lots of flexibility to put it wherever you want without the need to tear down a wall to gain access to the wires. No batteries either, which means it does not require any maintenance. Furthermore, using the app, the wall switch can be configured quickly and easily via NFC with up to four different functions entirely at the users’ choice all without needing a qualified engineer to do so for them.

Smart controls with minimal effort

FLYINGGROUP, Antwerp Airport in Belgium wanted both a more energy-efficient and visually comfortable solution for their meeting rooms. They also wanted more control over their lighting in different locations in the room and implement scene setting for presentations. Using SylSmart Standalone Room, Sylvania delivered energy-efficient Officelyte luminaires with SylSmart integrated wireless controls which saved FlyingGroup 48% energy. The EnOcean BLE switches could be easily added anywhere in the room and required no new wiring, giving the customer a fully controllable, energy-efficient solution with minimal disruption.
