Light control systems designed and implemented by Elettroservice
Elettroservice takes part in the Studio Lucearchitettura’s lighting project for the Malcesine Castle, taking care of the whole light management and control intervention. The lighting design started from a careful observation of the building, and a study of its evolution over time; Hence the idea of illuminating the areas belonging to different historical eras with shades of white of variable temperatures, from warm to cold. To meet the astonishing lighting requirements for events and anniversaries, a system has been designed to produce dynamic coloured light.
Using Helvar components, Elettroservice’s lighting management and control system is based on a single centralised scheme consisting of six 905 routers, which, through DALI buses, manage the lighting fixtures. All the gateways are connected through various switches scattered throughout the castle site, and the management works automatically thanks to the astronomical clock in the 905 modules: the lights turn on with a particular scenario at dusk and turn off at a set time in the morning. The system can be managed via a push-button panel installed on the site or via the Helvar Sceneset app, which allows for setting the chosen lighting scenography with simple, intuitive gestures. Through these inputs, light scenarios different from the preset ones are recalled, and, acting on the RGB fixtures, it is possible to change colour according to the specific occasion.
Finally, with the Usee 8801 web-based user interface, it is possible to independently act on the system by recalling pre-set scenes or making some scenario changes, thus making the system even more personalised. Moreover, Usee allows for monitoring energy consumption, intervening on loads by adjusting the programming.
