The Digidim router 910 is used to control the DALI luminaires in the open area of the building. The spot lights on
the retail units are automatically controlled by the lighting levels from natural daylight coming through from the
floor to ceiling glass sides of the building. The luminaires in
the staircases leading up to the apartments are dimmed in
the evening so they don’t interrupt the circadian rhythm of
its residents. The Helvar Router system is connected to a
Tridium system which also controls the climate in the building.

DALI Workshops at
DIAL
TEXT Sigi Riedelbauch, PublicTouch
PICTURES DIAL, Studio Steve, Thomas Bach, Alexander Ring, Maike Hufenbach
LED technology offers new opportunities, as well as challenges, in terms of design and lighting control. This puts
DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) directly into
the spotlight. Although this standard has been around since
2000, it's now experiencing a real boom with the popularity of LED. DALI is playing an increasingly indispensable
role in modern and dynamic lighting. And yet there are still
gaps to bridge in the public's knowledge of system integrators and electrical contractors. DIAL has recognised this
need, and now offers workshops on DALI. A training room
has been created for this purpose, and equipped with DALI
control and operating devices, including a selection of Helvar products.
DALI WORKSHOPS
DIAL has recently created a 3-day DALI workshop, in which
participants are provided with both the technical foundations and practical knowledge about the DALI standard.
Experienced trainers convey immediately applicable technical knowledge. Several practical exercises cover nearly
every possible application, up to interfacing with higherlevel automation systems. For this purpose, DIAL has specially designed a classroom with two workplaces, which are
equipped with DALI components from Helvar, among others. Here, the participants learn how to plan and program
DALI systems.

“
Helvar can be used regardless of
the manufacturer, which was an
important criterion in our selection
process. Moreover, the high quality and
scalability as well as the wide range of
the portfolios speak for themselves.
The Helvar has been actively involved in the development
of DALI since its introduction in the early 2000s, and it has
one of the most comprehensive ranges of DALI products on
the market. These facts were decisive for DIAL.
"Helvar can be used regardless of the manufacturer, which
was an important criterion in our selection process. Moreover, the high quality and scalability as well as the wide range
of the portfolios speak for themselves," said Carsten Schulz,
Building Technology Team and Trainer at DIAL GmbH.
"Only in this way can we ensure the high standards of our
courses and optimally pass on our knowledge."
THE DALI STANDARD
DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is an internationally established standard on the market, which was
developed for digital lighting control. DALI makes planning, installation and maintenance substantially easier, resulting in significant cost savings.
At the same time, the interface is so versatile that lighting
scenes can be established or changed without any rewiring.
The Helvar router system works according to the Ethernet
standard, which makes it possible to link routers to each
other, thus dissolving the usual DALI system boundaries.
The high scalability and exchangeability of operating devices from different manufacturers make DALI a flexible
system and a future-proof investment.
HELVAR DALI PRODUCTS IN USE
The Helvar DALI routers are an essential component of
workplace equipment for the DALI training at DIAL: Ten
DIGIDIM 910 routers and a 920 Imagine router are in use.
In addition, there are broadcast controllers, sensors, interfaces, dimmers, control modules and panels (touch, I/O) as
well as Helvar LED modules and LED drivers for tunable
white applications.
The DIGIDIM 910 routers are control units for max. 128
DALI control gear and controllers. Helvar's DALI concept
is based on the multi-master principle, so that both DALI
devices and DALI control components, such as control panels, daylight sensors and motion detectors, can be integrated
via the DALI line. The Imagine 920 router (DMX) and the
10
control module 474 (0-10V / 1-10V) are used to convey the
integration of third-party systems on DALI networks to the
trainees. The Helvar routers can be integrated into building management systems over TCP/IP. The employed uSee
module allows monitoring, system and emergency lighting control, as well as the recall, modification and saving of
lighting scenes in the Helvar router system via a browserbased interface using stationary or mobile devices.
The lighting control solutions are scalable for almost all
building sizes and applications thanks to their modular design and the use of open communication standards, thus
making the work of lighting designers, installers and system
integrators considerably easier.
"We are delighted that such a reputable company as DIAL
has chosen Helvar products for the DALI workshops,"
says Christian Wein, Managing Director of Helvar GmbH.
"There is increasing demand for LED lighting solutions,
with a parallel need for effective lighting controls – in which
DALI plays a central role. That's where Helvar comes out on
top, with its expertise and comprehensive portfolio."
DIAL GmbH
DIAL GmbH is a service provider for lighting and building control in Lüdenscheid, Germany. The company
offers a wide range of services under the motto: "Better architecture through light and automation." This
ranges from lighting design and research via seminars and workshops to the proprietary planning software
DIALux. In addition, light measurements on lamps and lighting products are performed in accredited
laboratories, and tests are conducted on DALI, KNX and BACnet products.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
Costing £14m, the refurbishment of the oldest theatre in
Glasgow opened in December 2014 and is a largely elliptical
building, containing new entrances, foyers, bars, cafe,
hospitality areas, education space and heritage exhibition
areas together with lifts to all levels, including an open
roof terrace, and centred by an open spiral staircase. The
requirement was for a simple but flexible control system
that could control the new 5-story public area of the historic
theatre.

Sushi B Restaurant
in Milan
Italian Japanese fusion controlled by a 360° sensory experience
In late 2014 a new Japanese restaurant “Sushi B” opened
its doors in the heart of the historic city centre of Milan.
Surrounded by designer shops, fashion boutiques and
concept stores, the new restaurant has the perfect setting for
its stylish food. Helvar was chosen as the technical partner
for the lighting control and management system.
THE ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT
Sushi B’s architectural concept was a collaboration between
architects Yukio Ishiyama and Nobuhiko Shimada for
Studio Garde, Italy and Stefano Corò and Nicola Pellizzaro
for Merotto Milani. Merging the Italian setting with
Japanese hospitality and cuisine fused together these two
cultures to create a unique dining experience.
The vertical green wall illuminates the entire outdoor area, reflecting the light of the luminaires.
16
DINING EXPERIENCE
The restaurant welcomes guests into an impressive space
characterised by a vertical green wall more than twelve
metres long and a bar area with a counter made from
overlapping segments of Biancone d’Asiago, an Italian
marble. This grand entrance leads into the restaurant
which is divided into three areas.
right ambience. The main objective for the lighting project
was to create a feeling of wellbeing in a relaxed and calming
atmosphere.
Leading up to the mezzanine floor this intimate and elegant
space is host to “teppanyaki”, a style of Japanese cuisine
which sees chefs cooking food on a large iron griddle, to the
delight of the diners, who are seated around it.
Proceeding down to the lower floor the sushi counter which
is six metres long dominates the main area and displays
a variety of sushi on a counter made of cypress wood.
Customers sit in this relaxed atmosphere whilst observing
the skills of the chefs preparing the food, making this a
unique dining experience
THE LIGHTING CONCEPT
Sushi B natural theme comes from its sophisticated
combination of wood and stone with neutral tones. The
lighting plays an equally important part creating just the
17
Using pre-set scenes, lighting levels are adjusted for the varying requirements of the restaurant throughout the day, such
as lunch and dinner, meal preparation and cleaning when the restaurant is closed.
All the rooms feature indirect LED lighting which enhances
and defines the architectural elements, emphasising
perspectives and trajectories. LED spotlights are used over
the tables and work surfaces.
The same design concept was also applied outside, where
the vertical green wall illuminates the entire outdoor area,
reflecting the light of the luminaires. In this area metal
halide lamps are used to generate the amount of light
required to support vegetation growth.
THE LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM BY
HELVAR
The three different areas in the restaurant are managed with
a Helvar DIGIDIM Router system. Using pre-set scenes,
lighting levels are adjusted for the varying requirements
of the restaurant throughout the day, such as lunch and
dinner, meal preparation and cleaning when the restaurant
is closed.
The restaurant staff can manually call up the pre-set scenes
using the Helvar TouchPanel, connected via Ethernet to a
Helvar router. The TouchPanel is a high resolution colour,
fully interactive 3.5” LCD touch screen that manages the
lighting control systems and allows the user to automatically
set multiple scenes based on schedules, or repeating
sequences.
needs. The luminaires focused on the green wall require a
constant light level; this is achieved with the time control
set in the restaurant.
The restaurant’s priority for lighting is to create a warm,
calming and relaxed atmosphere. Helvar’s lighting solution
shows that in addition to this it is essential to have a lighting
management system that can also offer energy efficiency
and reduce unnecessary lighting, which is typical when
completely manual control is used.
" A DALI lighting control system was specified, so Helvar
were a natural choice. We needed to make very efficient use
of the limited space, so the compact design and advanced
functionality of the Helvar system let us set different lighting
scenes and reduce energy costs by dimming and switching
off lights that have been left on unnecessarily. " explains the
lighting designer Sergio Rigato.
" We have always liked working with Helvar, and are glad
to be working with them on this project. Thanks to their
professional approach and technical expertise, they are
willing and able to be flexible when plans change," continues
Stefano Corò, "the use of a Helvar lighting management
system has allowed the restaurant Sushi B to optimise all
the equipment, reduce energy usage and to have different
scene sets suitable for each area".
The programming can also be changed in a simple and
intuitive way in order to meet the restaurant’s changing

The Centre of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science,
VHC, is a unique, newly built facility at SLU, the Swedish
University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala. The new
building accommodates skilled veterinaries, veterinary
students and top-level veterinary medicine researchers.
The property is owned and operated by Akademiska Hus,
a company with very strict energy requirements. To reach
its energy efficiency objectives, yet have a flexible solution,
Akademiska Hus opted for the Helvar Router System for the
property's lighting control.Akademiska Hus ranks among
the largest Swedish property companies. The company
builds, develops and manages properties used for research,
training and innovation purposes.

University of Agricultural Sciences. In total, we manage
some 600,000 square meters of real estate,” says Thomas
Hanson, electricity officer at Akademiska Hus Region
Uppsala.
SLASHING POWER USE
Akademiska Hus has chosen to take complete responsibility
for power consumption in its properties and not just keep
a focus on power consumed for the purposes of property
operation. This is why they are working to reduce their
power consumption and environmental impact in close
cooperation with their tenants. The objective is to slash the
amount of power they purchased in 2000 by 50 % by 2025.
“We see potential for slashing power consumption across the
entire property and are revising everything – power, HVAC,
ventilation, lighting. Insofar as lighting is concerned, it is

quite clear that we need some sort of control to meet our
energy efficiency objectives. We want to stick to the DALI
protocol, which is why we have opted to engage Helvar’s
router system as lighting control provider for all of our
properties. It is easier for us if we have one and the same
type of system in all properties. We have also looked at other
suppliers' systems, but we were not particularly satisfied,”
says Thomas Hanson. The first place where we had a Helvar
router system installed was at the University of Gävle in
2005. Apart from VHC, the system here in Ultuna is also
installed at the BioCentre, the Soil-Water-Environment
Centre and most recently at Ulls Hus.
MULTITUDE OF DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES
VHC is made up of six interconnected buildings, with a total
area of some 53,000 square meters. The area comprises
lecture halls, group activity rooms, training laboratories
as well as more specialised premises such as stables and
anatomical theatres.
“This facility is unique in a number of ways,” says Björn
Dahlin, Installation Team Leader at Rejlers, the company
which designed the lighting control. First of all, this is the
largest installation we have ever built and, secondly, the
number of requirements it conforms to is unique because
there are so many different activities in the same system.
“Helvar's system provides great opportunities as each
constituent component is given an address and can be
assigned a purpose. Each room is quite simply assigned
a functional description. Since everything happens at
software level, this leaves tremendous options for future
changes, e.g. in luminous flux, etc.,” says Björn Dahlin.
The features used in Helvar's system include absence
detection, daylight compensation as well as lighting control
from AV equipment and fire alarms.
"Absence detection works in the following way: for example,
when you go into your office, you must actively turn on the
lighting. When you leave the room, lighting is reduced to
10 per cent after 20 minutes and then goes off completely.
As for daylight compensation, we set a minimum value and
when there is enough daylight in the room, lighting is kept
at a minimum, may be just 10 per cent or so. Using these
two features, we can save maximum power from lighting.
The system also gives us the option to control lighting from
the AV equipment so that lecturers can easily dim or turn
off the light in accordance with pre-programmed scenarios.
Helvar's system is also linked to the fire alarm which makes
it possible to automatically illuminate all corridors and
evacuation routes if an alarm is triggered.
23
FLEXIBILITY WITH ADDRESSABLE UNITS
The person in charge of the VHC project at Helvar was
Hans-Göran Johansson.“We supplied more than 100
Digidim 910 and 920 Routers, a large number of 311, 312
and 313 sensors, different push buttons as well as a 503
AV unit that links the AV system and DALI. All units in
the system have their own address and are linked via a bus
system. The addressability of all units makes the system
flexible. It is also easy to modify the system, e.g. in the event
of future reconstruction,” says Hans-Göran Johansson.
The system was put into operation and programmed by
Sallén Elektriska using Helvar Designer software. “We are
satisfied with Helvar's Router System for lighting control.”
Helvar not only helps us minimise power consumption
in the properties under our management but also offers a
number of smart features. Since the system is flexible, it is
possible to additionally adjust and optimise the system over
time. We are already under way with a new project at the
Segerstedt Building in Uppsala where we will also install
Helvar's system," concludes Thomas Hanson.

CONTROLLING ENERGY SAVINGS AND COMFORT IN THE WORKPLACE
Istituto Centrale delle Banche Popolari Italiane is located in
Milan and is used mainly as offices. The new lighting system
needed to fulfil two demands; to monitor energy consumption and control energy saving as well as to ensure a more
comfortable working environment.
Silvano Bresesti, Head of Energy Systems and Service at
Stelline Real Estate SpA said “The previous lighting solu-
tion included the more traditional lighting control switches
and didn’t include a DALI management system. This non
flexible lighting solution made it impossible for users to adjust the lighting levels”.
Helvar has been asked to set the lighting control system in
some open space areas for office use, in particular one on
the ground floor and two on the first floor.
25
THE LIGHTING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BY
HELVAR: RELIABILITY, FLEXIBILITY AND
COST SAVINGS
Each of the three open spaces controlled by Helvar’s system are split into several light groups, comprised of several
luminaires equipped with DALI ballasts, that through the
DALI protocol, are connected to a larger network managed
by Helvar DIGIDIM Routers .
Each luminaire is equipped with a multi-sensor for presence detection and a constant light feature to collect all the
information needed for the automated management of the
lighting system. Each area has a control panel which can be
used to adjust or turn on and off the lights manually when
needed. The monitoring of the lighting system is managed
by Helvar TouchStudio software and connected via Ether-
net to Helvar routers. TouchStudio makes lighting management intuitive and user friendly and allows facility managers to have a centralised control of the entire system and the
possibility to set scenes in a very simple way according to
everyday or extraordinary needs. It also allows monitoring
the status of lighting groups and individual luminaires. The
monitoring gives information if the lights are switched on,
and in which percentage, off or malfunctioning due to end
of life of lamps or disconnected, thereby facilitating ordinary maintenance.
"As in previous occasions," reports Eng. Bresesti "Helvar
has proved to be a reliable partner and has allowed us to
achieve, through its lighting control systems, our targets
also in terms of execution of the project."

Human Centric Lighting
Human Centric Lighting is created by
changing colour and intensity of white
light, and designing lighting to support
the end-users' lighting needs.
The natural circadian rhythm of a person can be supported by using warmer
(relaxing) light with lower intensity in
the morning and evenings, and cooler (energising) light during a typical
working day.
Lighting can also be tuned during the
day to support more temporary needs.
We can use warmer white light with
slightly lower intensity, to help users
calm down when facing high stress.
Or we can use cooler white light with
higher intensity, to help users energise
e.g. on early morning.

commissioning of the system much
faster.
Helvar iC DALI drivers and LED
modules are the heart of the tunable
white luminaires, developed specifically
for dimming and tuning the white
colour. The two driver output channels
are connected to two modules with
different colour temperatures, warm
white and cool white allowing easier
control of the colour temperature.

Standalone Solutions, Select the Weather
Solution
STANDALONE SOLUTIONS
Helvar iC standalone solutions are easy
to implement as a single luminaire
or as a single room solution. Natural
colour temperature and illuminance
of daylight varies greatly, influenced by
location, time, weather, etc. With the
iC standalone solutions, it is possible to
simulate the natural outdoor lighting
environment with tunable white.
In the Dynamic Weather Solution,
the iC Dynamic driver can be preprogrammed to change the luminaire
colour temperature naturally by
providing an indoor environment which
generates more natural light. This can
Icon
be achieved without any configuration
or on-site control. Using Helvar iC
drivers, it is also possible to implement
Tunable White using the switch-control
functionality which requires less
cabling.

ENIAC Award for EnLight Project
EnLight, an energy efficient and intelligent lighting systems project, was finalised in November 2014 after three
years of cooperative research and development.
The project was funded by ENIAC and
the project team consisted of 27 leading
lighting companies, prominent universities and research institutes from five
European countries, Finland, France,
Germany, Italy, and The Netherlands.
The main goal of the project was to
achieve more than 40 % energy saving
comparing state-of-the-art LED lighting in real-life demonstrations.
‘The result of this project was an intelligent and energy efficient lighting
system. Using breakthrough technology, the achieved energy consumption
exceeded the set target without com-
promising any of the lighting features.
Helvar focused on the development of
a next generation Power Supply Unit
with unprecedented high energy efficiency and performance’, says Max
Björkgren, the Research, Quality &
Technology Director from Helvar. Helvar, together with other project members, has won the ENIAC Innovation
Award 2014 for the Enlight project.
The presenter of the award, Dr. Andreas Wild, stated that the EnLight project was exemplary in bringing together key actors in a project of significant
size (more than 41 M€ R&D investment) to achieve results of genuinely
high value to the partners.
New SELV 60 V Drivers
Helvar has released a range of
SELV 60 V rated drivers for flexible
luminaire design.
below 60 V at any time allowing for
an open and more flexible luminaire
design.
The new range of 50 W drivers are
designed to work within luminaires
where the modules cannot be protected
and isolated but can be touched. The
touchable part of the luminaires can
be left unprotected as long as the
driver output and the voltage over the
modules will not exceed 60 V.
Helvar has now published three new
constant current SELV 60 V drivers in
the 50 W range:
• LL1x50-E-CC
• LC1x50-E-CC
• LL2x25-E-CC
Helvar’s new 50 W range is SELV
(Safety Extra Low Voltage) rated
ensuring the output voltage remains
Now a frequent association with
Helvar, the drivers' efficiency stays at
0.90 even though the constant current
output is as high as 1050 - 1400 mA.
30
The LL2x25-E-CC driver has two
independent output channels allowing
for loads of different sizes between the
channels. This greatly increases the
number of alternative combinations
from modules to the output and
therefore provides additional freedom
to design.

New Hybrid Dimming LED Driver
Helvar has introduced a new generation for dimmable LED drivers utilising the state of art "hybrid dimming
technique". The first product in the
series is LL1x10-42-E-DA Dimmable
DALI LED driver.
Hybrid dimming capable products can
be dimmed both on current reduction
dimming (higher dimming range), and
on Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
dimming (lower dimming range).
Current reduction dimming is a very
efficient dimming technique for products dimmed only on higher range, e.g.
20 % – 100 %. On lower range, the
current reduction dimming can have
a negative impact on the light quality,
causing e.g. uneven light output, or colour temperature variation.

dimming technique. This offers a high
quality of light throughout the dimming range. To guarantee a high quality of light this driver is using high
PWM frequency of 1 kHz. This is one of
the highest PWM dimming frequency
on the market. Luminaires equipped
with Helvar LL1x10-42-E-DA LED
drivers are completely free of 100Hz
light flicker.
