Signify, a leader in lighting, has launched a new wireless emergency lighting portfolio and monitoring system, enabling building managers to control, monitor, and test emergency lighting and produce compliance reports through a cloud-based dashboard.
Powered by Signify’s Interact connected lighting system developed for intelligent buildings, the new system adds to the testing process by automating function and duration tests, while delivering data insights and health status alerts. Interact Building Manager enables building operators to monitor and manage both general and emergency lighting through a cloud-based dashboard. This aims to support multiple testing schedules and deliver reports for regulatory documentation and reporting, as well as to simplify maintenance and to support compliance with emergency lighting standards as per local regulations.
Greg Nelson, Executive Vice President, Systems & Services at Signify, says, “For building managers and maintenance teams alike, regular testing and maintenance of emergency lighting is crucial, but can be time-consuming and prone to human error. Signify’s new wireless emergency lighting portfolio and Interact Building Manager provides visibility and control over your emergency lighting with regular proof of performance to ensure compliance with relevant standards while reducing operational complexity and cost.”
There are four key configurations which intend to meet the varying needs of buildings: general lighting fixtures with built-in emergency capabilities, wireless DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) extenders and sensors, wireless exit signs, and emergency lights. Everything can be commissioned and deployed under one contract and one dashboard, designed to enable cost savings and efficient maintenance and monitoring of an entire lighting system. Alternatively, emergency lighting can be installed and commissioned on its own to achieve mandatory building compliance.
Greg continues, “With our connected wireless emergency lighting portfolio, building operators can find tailor-made solutions while also reducing cost, streamlining operations, and meeting essential compliance standards. Signify’s expertise in both general and emergency lighting means we can act as a single trusted partner for a wide range of customer needs.”
The new wireless emergency lighting solution is being first made available in Australia and New Zealand, through the Pierlite portfolio, with it being made available in Europe in early September.
