Application of automation in shopping malls:
- Exteriors
Exterior and feature lighting at entrances, ornamental gardens and lobbies plays a vital role in a mall’s overall visual presentation to visitors. To ensure malls always make the best possible impression. KNX provides seamless integration and lighting transitions with DALI systems via a DALI gateway which is compatible with many manufacturers’ LED lights and theatrical equipment.
- Retail outlets
Retail stores require very specific control features and need easy-to-operate and flexible lighting control systems that can be adjusted to seasonal changes.
- Restaurants & bars
Restaurants & bars need to exude a unique air of sophistication and style. At night, flexibly controllable lighting scenes enable the creation of separate zones that offer different dining experiences within each area of the restaurant. Architectural dimmers are totally compatible with these aims and ensure seamless control in almost any environment. Such systems are also purpose-designed to dim large numbers of lights and will heighten any desired architectural lighting effect.
- Public areas
Lighting Control solutions in larger or multi-storey shopping malls often utilize natural lighting levels to further cut energy costs. Such systems also serve as a single integrated pre-programmable platform via which to control air conditioning, escalators/lifts, security, irrigation and more. This gives building management staff far more flexibility in monitoring their system.
- Back of house
As storage, utility and rest rooms are used intermittently; sensors are an excellent way of maximising lighting energy efficiencies and minimising electricity bills.
- Showrooms
The control of many down and display lights requires a high powered professional dimmer. The perfect complement to dim lighting goals, C-Bus dimmers can also be used to create spectacular lighting effects.
Forward-looking retailers understand the value of creating a unique shopping experience through the effective choice of colour schemes, layouts, displays and of course lighting. The ultimate aim is to entice shoppers to investigate showrooms, market halls and aisles.
