A Smart Remote Controlled Multi-Functional Lighting System

Abstract:

Recently, remote control technology attracted wide attentions and began to be used in lighting applications with computer and internet, power electronics, automatic control technologies together. Most conventional remote controlled lighting systems realized basic lighting functions, i.e. turning on/off and dimming. However, modern remote controlled lighting system needs to have multi-functions including line switching control, line anti-theft, illuminance detection, metering electrical parameters, ballast’s fault-condition detection, data analysis and statistics, abnormal-conditions alert and diagnosis. These functions will make the system more intelligent and practical. This paper proposes such a system comprising intelligent ballast, line switcher, meter, illuminance detector, server, website, etc. The system integration method is illustrated by analyzing the system’s working principle and functions. An experimental system is set up as a demonstration and the test results verify the proposal.
