signify Interact Pro Cost Efficient and Wireless Smart Lighting Solution

Product Information

The product is a lighting system designed specifically for classrooms. It is aimed at improving classroom comfort, stimulating and engaging pupils, and saving energy. The system offers enough and uniform light at the working plane for every desk, avoiding glare. It also enables extra energy savings with smart luminaires and sensors, and ensures simple replacement of current lighting without new cabling.

Key Requirements:

1. Offer enough and uniform light level at the working plane for every desk, avoiding glare.
2. Enable extra energy savings with smart luminaires and sensors.
3. Ensure simple replacement of current lighting, enabling control functionalities without new cabling.

Design Tips:

• Make sure the average illuminance is Em500 lux over the desks.
• Check if most of the tables have a similar illuminance, and the surroundings of the desks are not below 300 lux.
• Use UGR 19 luminaires to avoid glare.
• Add daylight sensors over the desks that are close to windows in order to enable energy savings. Over the rest of the desks, a simple presence detector will do the job. We recommend 1 sensor every 4 – 6 luminaires.

Required Features for Luminaires:

• Unified Glare Rate URG 19
• Color Rendering Ra80
• Dimmable luminaires (if combined with daylight/occupancy sensors) = PSD (DALI Driver)
• Smart lighting with Interact Pro (if combined with Interact Ready luminaires and smart sensors) = WIA (Wireless Interact Driver)

Classroom info

When we talk about lighting in classrooms, we must remember that lighting accounts for 30% of the energy consumption of buildings! Also, classrooms are not necessarily occupied the whole day.
This means that light doesn’t have to be permanently on at fixed times (e.g. 5 days a week from 9 to 5).

Design tips

1. Make sure the average illuminance is Em≥500 lux over the desks
2. Check if most of the tables have a similar illuminance, and the surroundings of the desks are not below 300 lux
3. Use UGR ≤19 luminaires to avoid glare
4. Add daylight sensors over the desks that are close to windows in order to enable energy savings. Over the rest of the desks, a simple presence detector will do the job. We recommend 1 sensor every 4 – 6 luminaires.

Make sure that your luminaires include these features:

Unified Glare Rate
URG ≤19
Color Rendering
Ra≥80
Dimmable luminaires
(if combined with daylight/occupancy sensors) = PSD (DALI Driver)

Smart lighting with Interact Pro
(if combined with Interact Ready luminaires and smart sensors) = WIA (Wireless Interact Driver)

Check current installation

• How old is the current lighting installation?
• Was it recently (or ever) checked to meet lighting standards?
• Is this classroom occupied the entire day?
• Or is it just used at certain times of the day?
