Wireless Lighting Control – Helvar ActiveAhead
Why Helvar ActiveAhead?
Award-winning wireless lighting controls
Self-learning with enhanced comfort
Wirelessly networked ActiveAhead Nodes use a smart algorithm to learn how the space is used. The luminaires collect data from their own sensors as well as from the other luminaires which surround them. They also respond to the amount of natural light in the space.
Due to its intelligence, the lighting level remains optimal for the user and it continuously adapts to possible changes.
Energy efficient buildings
Compared to an LED-based switched luminaire, ActiveAhead takes comfort to a totally new level while offering substantial energy savings.
In addition to increasing the lights in a predictive manner, the Nodes dim the lights in a smart way depending on the space usage, thus helping to save energy.
Simple and fast installation
Luminaires fitted with ActiveAhead are extremely easy to install. Just fix the luminaires to their intended position and switch on the mains. No control wiring, programming or configuration is needed.
Optional customisation and grouping is possible using the ActiveAhead mobile app. Continuous learning means that the system adjusts lighting automatically, without the need for any manual re-configuration.
Future-proof with cloud connectivity
Connect ActiveAhead to Helvar Insights to take advantage of the data gathered from your lighting control network and add the power of cloud-based analytics to improve wellbeing, efficiency and sustainability.
Lighting energy monitoring brings awareness and highlights saving potential, use the data from movement sensors to optimise your space, and ensure your lighting solution is working as it should be with 24/7 monitoring.
Introducing our new set of high bay sensors— industrial applications just got more choice!
With new high bay sensors, the benefits and easiness of ActiveAhead can now be brought to industrial applications.
Using the luminaire-based 5636 Multisense R60 High Bay sensor and the independent 5641 Node Multisensor High Bay, an industrial installation can be built flexibly with either wireless ActiveAhead luminaires or standard DALI luminaires.
