GL-DA02 converts international DALI standard to a full range of analog dimming signals for flexible and precise indoor lighting control February 20, 2014 New Delhi, India - GlacialLight, a division of the Taiwanese technology manufacturer GlacialTech Inc., is introducing the GL-DA02 DALI interface converter to its product lineup.

As an open standard, DALI is internally recognized as the premier new lighting control interface and is cross-compatible across lighting components from different manufacturers. Highly scalable, it simplifies wiring compared to conventional lighting control systems, making installation easier and reducing maintenance costs. DALI can not only control lighting but also monitor it, allowing for intelligent lighting systems that maximize service life and save energy. Compared to legacy solutions, a DALI network is more precise and allows fine grain control over the individual components in a complete lighting system.

GlacialLights DALI Interface Convertor is fully IEC62386 (102, 206) compliant. Taking a digital DALI signal, it can output either PWM, 0-10V DC, or 1-10V DC signals and is suitable for controlling 3-in-1 (DC/PWM/Resistor) LED drivers. Dimming can be set on a linear or logarithmic curve. With a built-in relay, devices down the line can be turned off completely, giving complete lighting control and reducing energy costs.

As an indoor digital lighting control system, the GL-DA02 convertor is well suited for applications including office buildings, conference rooms, factories, and intelligent home lighting.

If you're like me, fumbling around the supermarket looking for obscure items is a pretty commonand frustratingoccurrence. Lighting giant Philips has developed a solution: smart lights.

The company yesterday introduced a system that connects in-store LED lights with consumers' smart phones. Using a downloadable app, people will be able to locate items on their shopping lists or get coupons as they pass products on the aisles. Retailers can send targeted information such as recipes and coupons to consumers based on their precise location within stores, while gaining benefits of energy-efficient LED lighting, says Philips.

The beauty of the system is that retailers do not have to invest in additional infrastructure to house, power and support location beacons for indoor positioning. The light fixtures themselves can communicate this information by virtue of their presence everywhere in the store," said Philips Lighting's Gerben van der Lugt in a statement.

The company is demonstrating the retail lighting system at the EuroShop retail trade show in Dsseldorf, Germany, this week. Philips is already testing it with an undisclosed number of retailers.

The system uses Visual Light Communications (VLC) to talk with consumers' smartphones. Unlike the wireless protocols Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee, which use radio waves to send information, VLC relies on the store lights to transmit data to the camera on a smart phone in fast pulses. The lights blink at frequencies that are undetectable by people, according to LEDs Magazine.

There are already a number of other efforts aimed at adding communications and sensors to LED light fixtures. Last year, researchers at the University of Strathclyde in the U.K. demonstrated LED lights with optical communications, which they call Li-Fi. That setup was able to operate at gigabit-per-second speeds, according to a BBC article.

Startup ByteLight has developed a system similar to Philips retail lighting network. It also uses light pulses to communicate with consumers smart phones in stores. Other companies, such as Silver Spring Networks, in Redwood City, Calif., have developed street lights with sensors and radios that allow city managers to remotely monitor traffic density or air quality.

The New York Times today reported that the airport in Newark, New Jersey, is operating smart lighting systems with cameras that make it easier to monitor the facility. The lights allow personnel to spot long lines, look at license plate numbers, and potentially send alerts about suspicious activity.

But these smart lighting systems, while powerful, are raising concerns about privacy and whether new policies are needed to address this emerging technology. There are some people in the commercial space who say, Oh, big datawell, lets collect everything, keep it around forever, well pay for somebody to think about security later, Justin Brookman from the Center for Democracy and Technology told the Times.

In the case of Philips' retail lighting application, consumers would have to download an app, which indicates their willingness to have their movements tracked. But as lighting and other everyday items such as thermostats and streetlights are equipped with sensors and wireless networking, it raises new questions about what is an acceptable amount of monitoring and data collection.

Philips Creates Shopping Assistant with LEDs and Smart Phone

Philips is piloting an intelligent supermarket lighting system that can help shoppers find their groceries based on their location in the store, the company said Monday.

The LED lighting system can be used by retailers to send location-based data to customers via an app, Philips said.

Besides helping users to locate groceries like avocados, coffee and eggs, the system can also be used to send promotional offers to shoppers, which are relevant to their location in the store. Targeted information and discount coupons can be displayed on phones at a precise position in the store when shoppers need it most and are most receptive, Philips said.

The system uses lighting fixtures that form a dense network that acts as a positioning grid, Philips said, adding that each fixture is identifiable and able to communicate its position to an app on a shoppers smart device.

By integrating location services in the lighting system, retailers who want to offer location based services dont have to invest in additional infrastructure, Philips said.

Brick-and-mortar businesses are increasingly showing interest in what customers do inside their walls.

Ballparks in the U.S. for instance have opted for Apples iBeacon technology that extends location-based services on iOS devices indoors. iBeacon can be used to monitor locations of customers using Bluetooth.

Several startups are offering indoor location based services as well. Much like Philips, they generally want to help businesses gather information about their customers, such as their dwell times at a location, and send promotions directly to mobile phones.

Philips is currently testing its system with retailers.

Philips' intelligent supermarket lighting can help you find your groceries

Philips is continuing to revolutionize the lighting industry through its intelligent lighting system by adding new features that makes it useful for grocery stores.

Philips said on Monday that its new intelligent lighting system gives new meaning to personalized shopping.

The system uses intelligent LED in-store lighting to communicate location-based information to shoppers via a smartphone app which they can opt to download. The lighting communicates with the app to send special offers and information to the shopper, relevant to their location in the store, Philips said in a statement.

The system will give shoppers more personal control essentially by using the lighting fixtures as a dense network to provide a grid of information. Each of the fixtures is able to communicate its position to an app on a shoppers smartphone, enabling the customer to get information related to their position in the store as they move around.

Philips system uses what is called visual light communications (VLC), turning the LEDs into a port for data transfer. LEDs are able to turn on and off at such fast rates that the human eye cannot even see the flickering. This allows for information to pass in one direction, from light to phone. The smartphones would have to be able to see the light in order for the VLC to work.

For example, shoppers wanting to make some guacamole for dinner will be able to use an app on their device to locate the ingredients in the aisle. The system will help plot out the route through the grocery store to help pick out the avocados, tomatoes, onions, chilies and limes. The app will also offer up advertisements and coupons for shoppers, or make some suggestions for additional recipes.

The beauty of the system is that retailers do not have to invest in additional infrastructure to house, power and support location beacons for indoor positioning, Gerben van der Lugt from Philips Lighting, said in a statement. The light fixtures themselves can communicate this information by virtue of their presence everywhere in the store.

Philips says that its system is being piloted with an unspecified number of retailers, but the company hasnt detailed when it will be launching the system on a wide scale.
