Wireless LED lighting with Freedom
Helvar’s Freedom luminaire components offer a completely new way to connect to wireless LED lighting. One Helvar Freedom LED driver works with all compatible wireless ecosystems. A wide range of wireless LED drivers with intelligent luminaire sensors and radio nodes offer unique design freedom for luminaire manufacturers. Freedom products are perfect with Helvar’s own ActiveAhead , the self-learning, award-winning wireless lighting control system. But, the drivers support also other wireless control systems: Casambi, Mount Kelvin, Mymesh, pulsesystems, Ingy and Wirepas. And, our protocol is open, inviting anyone to connect and stay connected – wirelessly.
Ramboll Case Study
The self-learning, future-proof wireless lighting control solution ActiveAhead was selected for Ramboll Headquarters to cover the office floors. It is also used throughout the parking garage, providing impressive energy savings. There are a total of around 3000 ActiveAhead Control Units installed on-site.
Freedom Node
Freedom Node is the intelligence. It’s also the antenna, the radio unit. It communicates with the Freedom LED driver, other Freedom Nodes or any supported device in the mesh. We designed the Node’s connectivity to be the best in the market. It’s antenna is tested to be awesome. And that’s why we didn’t embed it inside the driver. You can place the Node inside or outside your luminaire and ensure the best connectivity of your products. No weak signals. No design nightmares. No struggle. Just freedom to connect.
Freedom Sense
Freedom Sense is a very small luminaire sensor for wireless lighting control with compatible Freedom systems. It senses in two ways: PIR motion sensor reacts to movement, while the light sensor constantly measures the ambient light levels and adjusts correct light levels automatically. Being tiny and hardly noticeable, it’s also super easy to install.
Freedom LED drivers
We are here to sell LED drivers. But we don’t want to be tied into any specific standards or ecosystems. That’s why our Freedom LED drivers can operate with any Freedom compatible lighting control system – all you need is to match it with the Freedom Node.
Freedom for the luminaires
Choose the most suitable Freedom LED driver to fit your lighting needs. Then, design your luminaire with our driver matched with Freedom Node. You don’t need to choose your wireless control ecosystem yet – Freedom Node fits the driver, regardless of the system.
No need to make design variants or apply for multiple approvals. And at the time of order, just choose the control software you want. Or make your own!
Freedom for the developers
We don’t yet know all the things Freedom can do. That’s why we invite you to innovate. We give you the full access to our digital protocol and let you create your wireless lighting control system. Do you already have a lighting control system? Or beaconing? Data analytics? Great! Make it Freedom compatible and have your system available for anyone.
The Rules Have Changed
Freedom is simply clever. With its no-nonsense approach to innovation, it gives you the freedom of choice. It has changed the rules and ended the tyranny of standards – we believe in open protocols and variety of ecosystems. With the old barriers broken, anything is possible.
