CONTROLLER: OUTPUT SHIFT
• When the luminaire’s output is
increased or decreased, our Lumen
IQ controllers employ a “stepped”
lumen output shift.

• Our “stepped” approach allows for a

gradual change in 5% steps and 6
second increments, not perceptible to
the human eye.

• 50% output to 100% = 60 seconds

• Lumen IQ nodes do not employ the

industry standard “flash” dimming
method. A “flash” output shift is an
instant increase or decrease in lumen
output which can be a safety issue for
approaching vehicles.

LED ROADWAY LIGHTING LTD. © 2017 40

CONTROLLER: VOLTAGE-BASED DIMMING
Existing issues with traditional 1-10V
based dimming include:
• The controller outputs a 1-10V signal
based on the % received from the
Central Management System (CMS).
• If the CMS indicates a 50% Output /
Dim then the controller typically
outputs a 5V signal to the driver.
• Instead of the desired 50% power
savings, the luminaire would only
achieve a 30% or 40% savings from
initial power (based on the unique
driver dim curve).
• Variance exists in the dim curves of
various drivers and even model
numbers from the same manufacturer.
LED ROADWAY LIGHTING LTD. © 2017 41
CONTROLLER: POWER-BASED DIMMING
The Solution: Continuous feedback
with power-based dimming controller.
• Controller receives % based dimming
command from CMS.
• Controller checks initial wattage.
• Controller sends signal expected to
dim luminaire to 50% power.
• Continuously monitors power
consumption of luminaire & adjusts
signal to driver until exact desired
power level reached.
• At 50% dim in CMS, customer expects
30W of consumption, controller ensures
that the luminaire delivers 30W of
consumption.

(Phase 1)

• Utilize data to create traffic data driven

schedules for
• group of luminaires
• street of luminaires
• individual luminaires

• Increase savings, decrease liability by

using real data by hourly increments

• Compensate for scheduling gaps by

using existing 12 hour or 8 hour traffic
data from other counting systems
extrapolated over a 24 hour period

• Allows to account for seasonal variances

(summer vs winter traffic patterns)

• Data analysis service available from LRL

LED ROADWAY LIGHTING LTD. © 2017 64

LIGHTING – MOTION

EMERGENCY FLASHER
• The emergency flasher is a sensing
attachment for the TSP.

• Safer than traditional lighting

controls suggestion of strobing
luminaires, which can be dangerous
due to the effect of shifting light
levels so dramatically and the time it
takes for the human eye to adjust to
shifts (like walking out of a dark
room into a very to bright room)

• The emergency flasher is available

in a number of colors.

• The light is visible from passing

vehicles during the daytime and
evenings.
LED ROADWAY LIGHTING LTD. © 2017 72
USE CASE #1: ADVANCED WARNING
• Emergency flasher is activated by
pressing a activation button in a
fixed location (i.e. inside the fire
house or hospital holding area for
ambulances)

• Acts as a visual indicator to

approaching vehicles that
emergency services vehicles will be
exiting soon and to pull over to that
can make an efficient exit

• Could gain precious seconds in

clearing a path for emergency
vehicles, where every second matters

LED ROADWAY LIGHTING LTD. © 2017 73

USE CASE #1: ADVANCED WARNING
• Emergency flasher is activated by
pressing a activation button in
vehicle which continuously transmits

• Acts as a visual indicator that the

emergency vehicle is approaching to
give drivers advanced warning to
pull over, or alert distracted drivers
on cellular phones or with their
radios on high volume levels

• Could gain precious seconds in

clearing a path for emergency
vehicles, where every second matters

LED ROADWAY LIGHTING LTD. © 2017 74

USE CASE #2: ON SCENE SAFETY
• Emergency flasher is activated by
pressing an in vehicle at the scene
of an emergency

• Notifies approaching vehicles that an

emergency vehicle is pulled over in
the area, and to exercise caution

• Designed to slow drivers down, and

protect emergency services
personnel when they are outside
their vehicles on the side of the road
in circumstances where their vehicle
lights may not be visible due to
obstructions (such as delivery
vehicles, etc).

LED ROADWAY LIGHTING LTD. © 2017 75

USE CASE #3: SCHOOLS
• School Zone flashing notification for
to alert drivers

• Timed flashing scheduled to

coincide with times when children
are present (Monday-Friday, only
during drop off, lunch, and pick up)

• Gives vehicles time to exercise

additional caution, in an effort to
prevent accidents.

• Nodes could be placed on street

lights or lower down on poles

LED ROADWAY LIGHTING LTD. © 2017 76

USE CASE #4: CONSTRUCTION SAFETY
• Can be rolled out as part of
construction site preparation.

• Notifies vehicles in advance that

they are about to enter a
construction zone, especially in
high traffic areas where lane
reduction signs may not be visible
until the last minute.

• Gives vehicles time to exercise

additional caution, in an effort to
prevent accidents and support on
site safety.

IS IT OK TO DIM?
What do the standards say about
Dimming?

If the criteria for use change based

on the time of day, then the lighting
level required also changes.
This has been acknowledged in the
following standards:

• ILE - Institute of Lighting Engineers (UK)

Technical Report 27 Code of Practice

• CIE - new draft of CIE 115 Lighting of

Roads for Motor and Pedestrian Traffic
for Variable Lighting Levels of Highways

• IES - Illuminating Engineering Society -

IES RP-8-14

LED ROADWAY LIGHTING LTD. © 2017 79

TRAFFIC LEVELS CLASSIFICATION

LED ROADWAY LIGHTING LTD. © 2017 80

IES RP-8 Guidelines
• Allows for changing classification of
roads and pedestrian conflict based
on expected vehicular and
pedestrian volume changes at
different times of night
• RP-8-2014
Section 5.4 - Adaptive Lighting:
• “If a lighting system is equipped
with dimming equipment, the
lighting level can be changed
based on expected pedestrian
volumes”
• “If vehicle traffic volumes vary
during the night, the local
jurisdiction may vary the street
classification and thereby allow
for additional dimming”
LED ROADWAY LIGHTING LTD. © 2017 81
LUMEN OPTIMIZATION

LED ROADWAY LIGHTING LTD. © 2017 82

LUMEN OPTIMIZATION: SAFETY
Example: Urban Setting
Targeted light output based on location
and time of day can increase safety via
higher output in specific areas.
In the downtown area of your city, an
increase of citizens typically exit onto
the streets from Thursday to Saturday
between 24:00 – 03:00.
Safety Solutions:
• Improve visibility of patrons for
passing vehicles.
• Improve CCTV visibility.
• Encourage law abiding behavior with
heightened (+30%) lighting levels.

LED ROADWAY LIGHTING LTD. © 2017 83

ADAPTIVE LIGHTING: INVENTORY
Invest in larger capacity luminaires and
only 2 - 3 model types. Configure your
wattage and output levels to complete
the task of a wider range of luminaires.
This streamlined approach results in a
number of advantages:
• Simplifies purchasing and managing
a larger mix of inventory and the need
for a wide range of overstock.
• Reduces replacement time and saves
on additional maintenance costs;
should you not have the exact
replacement luminaire in inventory.
• Conveniently, you always have the
required luminaire on the truck when
making service calls.

LED ROADWAY LIGHTING LTD. © 2017 84

ADAPTIVE LIGHTING – CLO
Constant Lumen Output (CLO)
• Eliminate planning for end of
life depreciation.
• Set lighting output to required
maintained level.
• Gradually ramp-up power over time to
maintain light levels.
• Initial 20% additional energy savings
(depending on luminaire LLF / TM-21 rating).
• Lifetime 10% additional energy savings
(depending on luminaire LLF / TM-21 rating).
• Schedules will be a percentage of
maintained lumens.
