Request for a smart and efficient
lighting solution

To be a “first-mover” of the new
wireless lighting system

When the engineering company MOE wasinvited to define the lighting installation in theSkovlunde Skole Syd school, the project goal
was clear. The school required new lighting
to deliver a more comfortable, efficient, andhuman-centric solution for students andstaff, that would be equally impressive interms of aesthetics and energy performance.

To approach the challenge , the Danishluminaires manufacturer X Light partnered
up with Signify. Thanks to the close
collaboration, a smart, wireless connected
solution was designed using Signify’s latest
innovations - Philips EasyAir SNS210 MC
sensors, Philips FlexTune SR drivers andPhilips LED modules. All the classrooms wererenovated with X Light luminaires Plafo 430
TW and Philips EasyAir SNS210, enabling awireless approach to achieve the desired
result by replacing the existing luminaires
efficiently. Nearly 1200 smart luminaires wereused to create a connected lighting systemthroughout the school buildings with thetunable white functionality.

Skovlunde Skole Syd is a large school inDenmark. The classrooms were equippedwith old-fashioned luminaires and electricalinstallations, with just three wired installationin the class rooms. While the teachers
wished for a smart lighting solution, budget
constraints indicated that re-wiring thebuilding was not an option. A meeting withthe headmaster and teachers also revealed
an important wish for dynamic lighting.

Adhering to end users’ wish, the systemenables teachers to customize the light color
temperature and intensity by using Philips
field app MC and/or the X Touch wall switch.
Furthermore, spots were installed on tracks
integrated with X Light track adaptors that
contains Philips connected components,
linked to the X Touch wall switch. Blackboard
luminaires and spotlight fixtures were installed
to provide the classrooms with accent lighting
and various lighting scenarios, improving
visual comfort, concentration levels and theoverall sense of wellbeing for students.

Thanks to the Tunable White technology,
we have much better light and comfort inthe classrooms.”

Light, comfort andenergy savings in one
connected solution
Thanks to close collaboration between
Signify, X Light, its manufacture partner
Imperial and the engineering company
MOE, the school achieved a state-of-theart lighting solution —better comfort and asignificant reduction in energy consumption
in the building.
Human-centric lighting is an important trait
throughout the project—with tunable whitetechnology, teachers can set all lights ina predefined color and adjust the lighting“according to their educational needs throughPhilips field app MC and the X Touch wall
switch, providing a pleasant environment for
both students and staff. The functionality ofoccupancy detection and daylight calibration
enables automated lighting, granting great
energy savings for the school buildings. The
co-municipality Ballerup extensively uses thePhilips SNS210 technology in their buildings
due to the simple installation and theadvanced benefits the system provides.

It has been a success and teachers are very happy
to be able to control both the light color and thelight intensity. When they enter the classroom thelight automatically turns on if there is not enoughdaylight and the dynamic cycle starts.”
Anni Høy, Lighting Designer, MOE
