To achieve Human Centric Lighting requires tuneable luminaires but it is the lighting controls that ultimately provides the ability to adjust intensity and CCT (Colour Correlated Temperature). This function can of course be controlled manually but the true value of HCL lies in the ability of a system to manage itself in the background and […]

Intelligent Adjustable LED Drivers Adjustable LED drivers have become more popular in recent years thanks to their ability to allow users to adjust the output characteristics of the driver to suit the application.  There are differing types of methods available to achieve this, from software interface (and a serial connection to the driver) to manual […]

Read our DALI-2 Compliance and Evolution Guide … DALI-2 is the updated and improved version of the DALI lighting protocol (IEC 62386), which includes more features and more product types with a focus on product interoperability.  For years, DALI has been used as a standard for robust, scalable, reliable and flexible lighting systems.  For the […]

Take a Look ‘Inside The Box’ with our Pro range Design In Guide … Exploring some of the advanced features of both ranges, this guide covers some important considerations for LED driver design and application.  The guide illustrates some of the many advanced features that make the Pro Range from Bright Green Connect one of […]

If you’ve ever noticed the lights flickering, chances are it’s due to fluctuations in power. This produces a flicker effect, from a barely-perceptible “ripple” to more obvious strobing. Prolonged exposure to light flicker isn’t just annoying, it can have a significant impact on workers’ well being, students’ concentration levels, patients’ recovery times and generally reduce […]

Planning a lighting system for any project, whether commercial, retail, architectural, transport or other, should go beyond defining the layout and lighting style. It’s imperative to also consider what kind of power supply will meet the demands of the environment: for example, will the system be indoors or outdoors? Will it be subject to extremes […]

The power factor of a power supply is a ratio of the real power consumed by a load (expressed in Watts) to apparent power (expressed in VA). It is expressed either as a number between 0 and 1 or as a percentage between 0 and 100%. Real power is the actual power drawn by the […]
