Smart Lighting Control
Our own lighting control system for commercial sites: switch, schedule and monitor lighting on daylight and time, from one web portal, across one site or many.
What we do
Parking and signage lights left on all day, or off at dusk, are some of the most common faults we get called for. So we built our own controller. It switches each lighting circuit on a schedule, on the actual daylight level, or both, and lets the centre manager see and control every circuit from a phone or PC.
- Up to 10 lighting circuits per controller, switched or dimmed
- Schedules per circuit: on a timer, on daylight level, or a combination of both
- Built-in daylight (lux) sensor, plus optional wireless sensors for shaded areas
- Remote control and status from the Iron Leaf web portal
- Multi-site: organised by site, building and zone, so one portfolio is one view
- Manual override for events, maintenance or load-shedding
- Offline version that a phone controls over Bluetooth where there is no internet
Recent work
Parking and walkway lighting
Lights come on when it actually gets dark, not at a fixed time that drifts with the seasons, and go off when the centre closes.
Signage lighting
Pylon and shopfront signs on their own schedule, with the status visible remotely, so a tripped circuit is noticed the same night.
Multi-site portfolios
Several centres under one login, grouped by site, building and zone.
Frequently asked questions
Does it need internet?
The standard controller connects over Wi-Fi for remote control and monitoring. Where there is no internet, the Bluetooth version is controlled from a phone on site.
Can it work with our existing lights?
Yes. The controller switches the existing lighting circuits at the distribution board, so the fittings themselves do not need to change.
What happens if the controller loses connection?
Schedules are stored on the controller itself, so the lights keep running on their timer and daylight settings even when the connection drops.
Who installs and supports it?
We do. It is our own system, so the installation, set-up and support come from the same team.
Where we work
Based in Germiston and working across most of Gauteng.
