The Lumentalk technology turns existing electrical wiring into a stable

A crime lab requires very specialized lighting,” said Allen Hamm, Assistant Director of the JCCL.  “The Lusio LED fixtures deliver high footcandles and wide distributions to effectively cover large work spaces.  Lusio also delivers substantial energy savings and reduced maintenance costs, which played an integral role in the design of the new facility.”

The lighting system consists of Philips tubular LED lighting systems that are solar-powered by day and is powered by the Meralco power grid at night via a grid-interactive photovoltaic system. The photovoltaic system is made up of the solar panels along with the power converter, and is hooked up to the Meralco grid. With the system in place, the City of Mandaluyong is poised to save up to 51% in electricity expenses every year.

a leading innovator and manufacturer of high performance, architectural LED-based lighting solutions for commercial, institutional, and urban environments, today announced it has received U.S. Patent 8,179,058, issued May 15, 2012. The patent, the first of seven pending for the company’s Lumentalk? technology, provides a method of intuitively reading a traditional analog TRIAC dimmer in a digital fashion, which enables digital control of LED lighting over existing AC power lines, to maximize cost and energy savings.

The Lumentalk technology turns existing electrical wiring into a stable, noise-free high-speed communications link for data, enabling LED fixtures to be reliably controlled without additional wiring.  The technology eliminates the cost and disruption of having to open up walls and ceilings to install additional data cabling as part of a retrofit project – enabling a dramatic 30% reduction in total installation costs.
