Circadian-friendly controls and power management for outdoor luminaires
Controlling the light for better living There is often less need to have fully lit streets and other outdoor environments late in the evening and during the night. But switching off lights can make people feel unsafe. With the aid of lighting control, major energy savings can be made without the need to switch off lights completely and create a sense of insecurity. The various systems we use for lighting control outdoors are integrated into each luminaire’s electrical ballast and take care of themselves. Nor is there any need for external accessories to make the lighting control work. The control units are pre-programmed and maintenance-free. The systems we are talking about have many different names in the industry. We choose to call it what it is – the Astro DIM. Luminaires with Astro DIM also require no additional investments in or modifications to infrastructure.

Astro DIM - program sequences Astro DIM is a feature performing a dimming sequences and up to 5 pre-programmed levels based on the virtual midnight value. The virtual midnight value is calculated based on the average duration between the time the lighting fixture is turned on (sunset) and turned off (dawn). This allows to create the reference point for the device, often called as “natural midnight”. The luminaire does not have a real-time clock. Instead, it runs a virtual one, determined by the length of nightly operating hours. After 2 ON-OFF cycles, the driver will calculate the virtual clock time. A valid ON- time is defined as a period during which the driver operates continuously. After repeating the luminaire ON- time for 2 consecutive nights, the DIM profile takes effect from the 3rd day onwards. A valid ON-time is defined as a period during which the driver operates continuously for ≥4 hours to ≤24 hours.
With an increasing focus on the human and nature well-being, outdoor spaces have to be lit correctly considering the color spectrum. Usually the LED chip manufacturers refer to the CCT (Correlated colour temperature) as a major value to determine the color of the light source. An LED luminaire can be equipped with both Natural White LEDs (4000K) and Amber LEDs (2000K) to mix and shift the energy to lesser the „nightly unnatural“ Blue component of the spectrum. Dynamic CCT feature is operating based on the Astro DIM principle, where the power and the CCT can be set for user-defined times. Dynamic CCT - tunable white for outdoors
Traditional light sources suffer from depreciation in light output over time. This applies to LED light sources as well. The CLO feature enables LED solutions to deliver a constant lumen output throughout the life of the LED module. Based on the type of LEDs used, heat sinking and driver output current, a correction of the lumen depreciation can be entered. The luminaire then counts the number of operating hours and will correct the output current based on this input. CircaLED CLO is programmable up to 10 years and 75%-90% initial power.

NFC interface and Android OS CircaLED is programmable with an Android application specifically made to meet the requirements for manufacturing, maintenance and the end user. Feature-rich application offers to set up a variety of parameters including dimming, output current, CCT, CLO, and all related features. Including bonus effects suitable for testing or exhibitions. The application requires the smartphone with NFC enabled interface in order to use it correctly. NFC programming can be done on a manufacturing line without the need to apply mains voltage to the driver. It is faster than traditional methods of LED driver programming, more feature-rich and flexible than resistor-setting techniques, and has a reduced training requirements for the production-line staff. NFC is standardized under ISO/IEC 15963 and accepted by MD-SIG consortium for LED power supply management.
