Abstract
A lighting system includes luminaires (L,1, L,2) disposed in a space to be illuminated, a sensor system (S1, S2) to detect user presence within the space, and a controller (2) configured in a commissioning mode to receive data corresponding to the addresses of luminaires which are to be defined as a group, and positional data from the sensor system in response to commissioning actuator e.g. a person moving along a path associated with a region of the space associated with the group, and in an operational mode to illuminate the luminaires of the group in response to the sensor system detecting occupancy in the region associated with the group.
Claims15
A lighting system including:
- a plurality of luminaires disposed in a space to be illuminated,
- a sensor system to detect user presence within the space, and
- a controller configured in a commissioning mode to receive data corresponding to the addresses of luminaires which are to be defined as a group of luminaires, and to receive positional data from the sensor system in a response to a commissioning actuator moving along a path defining a region of the space to be associated with said group of luminaires, and
- in an operational mode to operate the luminaires of the group of luminaires in response to detecting occupancy in said region of the space.
A network controller for a lighting network that includes a plurality of luminaires disposed in a space to be illuminated and a sensor system to detect user position within the space, the controller being configured to operate:
- (a) in a commissioning mode to receive data corresponding to the addresses of luminaires which are to be defined as a group of luminaires, and to receive positional data from the sensor system in response to a commissioning actuator moving along a path defining a region of the space to be associated with the group of luminaires, and
- (b) in an operational mode to operate the luminaires of the group in response to detecting occupancy in the region of the space associated with the group of luminaires during the commissioning mode.
A method of commissioning a lighting system including a plurality of luminaires disposed in a space to be illuminated, and a sensor system to detect user presence within individual, different regions within the space, comprising:
- identifying which one or more of the luminaires are to be operable as a group of luminaires,
- sensing a commissioning actuator with the sensing system so as to provide positional data in response to the commissioning actuator moving along a path defining a region of the space to be associated with the group of luminaires, and
- commissioning the lighting system so that the luminaires of the group of luminaires are operated in response to detecting occupancy in the region of the space associated with the group of luminaires.
