Digitalisation, Internet of Things, Big data… have been the buzz words in
many industries lately and the lighting industry is not an exception here.
It is even getting more evident that lighting can also provide the data and
intelligence for needs in wider perspective than for the lighting only.
The intelligence in lighting solutions together with major development
in LED light sources, has boosted the introduction of new and innovative
lighting products and solutions. This has also enhanced the solutions for
human centric lighting and yet fostering the delivery of highest energy
efficiency requirements.
Automation in smart lighting control systems has played an important
role in bringing energy efficient and optimised lighting conditions to
environments such as schools, offices and hospitals. Helvar’s Imagine and
DIGIDIM solutions already offer flexibility, scalability and automation to
smart lighting.
Another type of an approach in lighting control is the automation and
intelligence through self-learning. As a unique self-learning solution,
Helvar has recently introduced Active+. This out-of-the-box solution
learns the lighting conditions of the surrounding environment without
the need for configuration on site.
Simultaneously end users’ personal preferences in lighting can be taken
into account. This is important as the need for light differs a lot depending
on the time, place and people involved. The popularity of smart mobile
devices with handy end user applications open up lighting solutions for
even more personalised lighting control. This has also been seen through
the strong interest in our first mobile app, SceneSet.
Lighting has a unique opportunity to be at the core of Internet of Things
in the future. Lights are installed and available in buildings as well as
outside, in the streets, parks and other public areas. The data and
intelligence originally generated for lighting purposes, can be utilised
much wider than in lighting only. This will mean interesting technological
development, but even more interesting will be new business models and
opportunities that will become possible.

Illuminating
the Roman Empire
2000 years on
A permanent installation of artistic illumination uses lighting to narrate
the history of the Forums and Emperors.
The Imperial Forums are located between the Colosseum
and Vittorio Emanuele II monuments in Piazza Venezia.
They give the setting for this grandiose lighting project and
urban enhancement.
The Forums were at the heart of the late Roman Republic
and of the Roman Empire. Today, the ancient ruins have
been brought to life by Helvar’s lighting control system and
ERCO luminaires. Working in partnership to illuminate
one of the world’s most important archaeological sites 2000
years later!

“
the programmed scenes to emphasize the architectural
characteristics of the forums with lighting accents and creating warm or neutral white light. All the lighting displays
and designs of the lighting designers were fulfilled.
The entire site is connected to
an astronomical clock that, at
sunset, automatically activates the
programmed scenes.
The lighting display was designed by Maestro Vittorio
Storaro, cinematographer and three times Academy Award
winner, together with his wife Architect Francesca Storaro.
She has also created the lighting design. Work on the project was carried out by the Rome City Council with electrical system installer Acea S.p.A. and Unilever for the design
phase.
LED technology was used to illuminate the Imperial Forums. Due to the fragile nature of the archaeological site
and power requirements being limited to 28 kW covering
a surface area of over 20,000 m2. ERCO’s LED luminaires
were installed due to their excellent lighting performance,
extremely low energy consumption and minor need of
maintenance. The design requirements of Acea S.p.A were
all met.
Helvar designed the lighting control and light management system for Imperial Forums, following the lighting
design requirements and set up created by Vittorio and
Francesca Storaro. This was carried out by using Helvar 910
DIGIDIM router’s and hundreds of digitally controlled
DALI LED luminaires. With Helvar DALI based lighting
system it was possible to carry out a specific dimming and
control for each luminaire. The entire site is connected to an
astronomical clock that, at sunset, automatically activates

“
Helvar was able to maximise the THE FORUM OF NERVA
The illumination of the Forum of Nerva is composed of a
lighting effect required creating a series of lights producing an upward lighting effect of space,
light scenario that will make the where the Temple of Minerva stands. The lighting of these
Imperial Forums even more magical architectural elements enhances the magnificence of the
Temple of Minerva: the Pronao, telling a story of Roman
splendour in the surviving pair of columns “Colonnacce”
that look skywards.
THE FORUM OF TRAJAN
THE FORUM OF AUGUSTUS
The main focal point of the Forum of Trajan is the Trajan
Column, standing at 39.81 m high. Soft light illuminates the
story of the Emperor’s epic achievements which are carved
into the Trajan column.
A wave of light rises from the ground and illuminates the
Temple of Mars Ultore with an intense luminosity, it gradually becomes softer as it rises from below to encompass the
entire perimeter of the walls that surround the two Exedrae,
of the Forum of Augustus. Pax Romana was established under Augustus, this is symbolised by soft neutral light shining
down from above to mimic soft moonlight enhancing the
beauty of the Forum around the Temple.
Due to the flexibility of the lighting control solution installed, Helvar was able to maximise the lighting effect required creating a light scenario that will make the Imperial
Forums even more magical.
“We at Helvar Italy are very proud of having had such a key role in this prestigious and unique project. Working
close to such excellent professionals who have taken into consideration our suggestions to meet their targets
has represented a very stimulating experience. We have been involved from a very early stage up to the opening on the 21st of April. During the whole process the overall feelings were about constantly giving and getting
valuable input to reach objectives that were perceived as common ones. At the end, a mix of technological and
emotional aspects due to the unique area of operations”.

Outstanding lighting
for colossal
cruise liner
Helvar continues to dominate the lighting control market
for luxury cruise liners, having been recently utilised in
Britannia, a new ship built for P&O Cruises. The ship, which
was built in Italy, is the latest to feature a Helvar lighting
control system.
With its instantly recognisable 94 metre Union Flag emblazoned on the bow, the impressive ship is by far the biggest in P&O Cruises' fleet, carrying 3,647 passengers and
1,350 crew members across 15 decks. Britannia weighs in at
141,000 tons – 27,000 tons heavier and carrying 547 more
passengers than the line's previous biggest ship, Azura. Britannia is also the biggest ship ever built specifically for the
UK market. The ship’s lighting solution is on a similarly
massive scale, with approximately 15,000 ballasts and LED
drivers in the public areas, and 56 dimmer racks. Helvar
features in all public space of the cruise liner, including the
spa, restaurants, theatre, shops, atrium, reception, lounges,
lido, kids’ zone, gym, photo gallery and cafés.
The impressive ‘starburst’ chandelier located in the
atrium is also controlled by Helvar, forming a stunning
centrepiece, which was created and supplied by Austrian
company Kalmer.

Helvar features in all public space
of the cruise liner, including the spa,
restaurants, theatre, shops, atrium,
reception, lounges, lido, kids’ zone,
gym, photo gallery and cafés.
With importance placed on the use of lighting to maintain the vessel’s relaxed, opulent feel, Helvar was tasked
with supplying the lighting control for its marine partner,
Navalimpianti, to install. The Helvar lighting management
system provided the perfect platform to integrate the vast
number of light sources into one ship-wide lighting control system that supports monitoring and controllability
through the IP network. Integration with the ship’s audiovisual and entertainment systems is made possible with
the Helvar system, with special interface devices allowing
show lighting desks to take over control of the house lighting system. The impressive ‘starburst’ chandelier located in
the atrium is also controlled by Helvar, forming a stunning
centrepiece, which was created and supplied by Austrian
company Kalmer.
Luca Montanaro, Cruise & Yacht Commercial Executive
from Navalimpianti, comments: “Dimming systems on
board cruise ships are an essential tool to create the right
atmosphere suited to each situation; the finer and smoother
the control of each light fixture in public venues, the better the comfort and experience of the guests. The right setting of all lighting sources on board is absolutely essential
to achieve the desired ambience that creates the kind of experience which guests are looking for. For the same reason,
less than perfect dimming is often pointed out by guests as
a major factor of discomfort and dissatisfaction.
“Given the fact that owners spend millions to have the best
possible dimming system and the best light fixtures on board
their ships, it’s fully understandable that great expectations
are put on them. It is a fact that a modern cruise ship can be
likened to a huge four-or-five star hotel, with up to 25,000
square metres of public spaces, something that makes many
other buildings ashore pale in comparison! A plethora of
restaurants, casinos, children’s rooms, card rooms, several

Lighting was initially configured to follow a standard pattern to ensure the system was fully operational. Following
this, Navalimpianti technicians programmed the whole
system following detailed instructions received by lighting designers. Each room is programmed with up to eight
different lighting scenes that can be recalled by the hotel
manager or his assistants through a local control panel located in each room. Each pre-set scene is set to suit specific
conditions of the room at a specific time, such as breakfast,
lunch, dinner or cleaning. Moreover, the system is linked to
the ship’s clock in order to automatically start some actions
programmed for certain hours. The ship is entirely LED-lit,
ensuring savings on energy costs.
Helvar’s control system has helped create a stunning and
multifunctional lighting solution for every part of the ship,
whether it be dining, relaxing, reading, exercising or for
nightlife. The pre-set lighting scenes and dimming capabilities allow spaces to be flexible in their use and make for a
memorable holiday for the vessel’s guests.

Lighting designer, ARTEC and
Generator wanted to create
different atmospheres and scenes
relating to the area and
time of day.
Whether you are travelling solo or in a group the ambience
of the hostel will forge new friendships in its relaxed and
stylish surroundings.
The Generator Paris hostel has been specifically designed
to reflect the cultural and artistic diversity of the city
of Paris. The Design Agency, based in Toronto Canada
took advantage of the local flea markets sourcing vintage
luminaires mixing the chic furnishings with seven Tom
Dixon luminaires ensuring the hostel is like no other in the
city. Lighting designer, ARTEC and Generator wanted to
create different atmospheres and scenes relating to the area
and time of day.
Helvar’s partner Integrale worked to design a specific
lighting solution based on Generator’s requirements,
“the lighting controls have added the finishing touches
to compliment the design and provide flexibility to help
create the character and atmosphere of the hostel” said
Nadine Ravarini, Consultant to Helvar. The lobby, breakfast
lounge, chillout room and basement bar are all controlled
by Helvar’s lighting control systems. Working alongside a
range of differing luminaires, including LED’s, the installed
lighting control system has the flexibility to manage and
control scenes in each individual area throughout the day
and night. Using DALI drivers this gave the flexibility to
enable the luminaires to be dimmed, leading edge or trailing
edge dimmers were also used to set the scene.
“Helvar’s lighting controls are simple to use and enable
Generator Hostel to control scenes in order to create the
right ambiance for the well-being of the guests”, says Sales
Manager Antoine Cussac from Helvar France. Being able to
select and control scenes when required gives them greater
flexibility with the system which has been a very important
factor in this project”.

Lighting control
increases customer
comfort
Koskikeskus shopping centre redevelopment project
was designed to improve energy efficiency and customer
comfort. In connection with the project, nearly all business
premises owned by Citycon, the shopping centre facades,
the entrances and the cooling system were renovated. The
shopping centre was open throughout the redevelopment.
“This building is constantly changing which is why we
wanted a lighting control system that can be modified easily.
In addition, we were looking for a lighting control solution
that improves the energy efficiency”, says electrical designer
Teemu Simonen (AX-Consulting, AX-LVI Consulting Ltd).

heart of Tampere, the six-story shopping centre houses over
90 shops and health services, facilities for a cinema and
numerous restaurants. The ground floor space has one of
the largest parking garages in Tampere.
Valoa Design, a lighting design agency from Tampere,
prepared the lighting plan that served as the starting point
for AX-Consulting’s execution plan. Helvar’s DIGIDIM
router system takes the amount of daylight into account
and adjusts the lighting to the desired level. Individual
shops have their own separate lighting solutions, in the
common areas old fluorescent luminaires have now been
replaced with modern LED luminaires. In addition, the
wall of the parking garage entrance is equipped with DMX
colour lighting, featuring Citycon’s own magenta and white
wave as its basic colours. However, the colours of the wall
can be changed, for instance during the Christmas period it
projects different shades of red and white.
“Helvar’s lighting solutions were selected due to the
flexibility of the lighting control system it offered. Having
dealt with Helvar’s systems in the past this made it a familiar
system to use”, says Simonen. “With Helvar’s DIGIDIM
router system, we accomplished what we wanted. Routers,
buses and daylight sensors worked as desired. The lighting
of the central square, located under large skylights, could be
executed nicely.”
“The system operates independently, is maintenancefree and in a normal situation it doesn’t require user
intervention,” says Simonen, praising the system.
The Niagara interface also gives alerts of any device failures.
The alert indicates the area where the device failure is
located enabling maintenance personnel to check and rectify
the fault. After the maintenance has been carried out, the
system detects the device has been fixed and automatically
acknowledges the alert as completed. The interface also
makes it possible to review the energy consumption of
lighting.
“The entire operation went very well, there was a lot of old
technology in the 30-year-old building and work was carried
out while the shops were open”, says Tarmo Mäkinen.
The new lighting with its LED luminaires is very energyefficient. The redevelopment project has brought new space
and more light into the shopping centre.
A graphical Niagara interface has been added to the system
to facilitate its use. With the interface, one can easily create
exceptional time programmes for different premises, for
night-time cleaning, for instance.

Staggering Savings
for UK's Coolest
Car Park
32CTM%JCTNGU5VTGGV5JGHƂGNF7-
With staggering savings within the first few months of
completion, the Charles Street Sheffield Q-Park car park is a
great example of the potential that effective lighting control
could bring.
The famous building, also known as the ‘cheesegrater’ by
locals was voted 3rd place in the World’s ‘Coolest Car Park’
Awards in 2013, beating others from Miami, Vancouver
and Melbourne. The building exterior has identical panels
angled in various directions giving the structure its unique
look. The judges said the design turned “a traditional car
park shape into a visually striking building”.
The distinctive grey fascia of the car park is finished in
angled aluminium panels, painted lime green on the inside.
Changing between day and night, the glinting metal panels
give different light reflections from their surfaces as daylight
fades, transforming the surface. By night, the interior
lighting bleeds between each panel and creates an pattern
of light and shadow across the surface.
Designed by award-winning Allies and Morrison Architects,
the 10-storey steel-clad structure opened in 2008. The
iconic building forms part of the massive regeneration of
the city, which once completed will see each section of the
city centre redeveloped. Re-establishing Sheffield as one of
the UK’s most up-and-coming and exciting destinations.

With the need for maximum energy savings, a Helvar
Lighting System was chosen to provide a reliable service
that also reduces power consumption. Local presence
sensors are installed on each floor of the car park and are
programmed to dim the LED luminaires after a period of
inactivity. With the lighting in the centrally located areas
of the carpark dimming at a slower rate than those around
the perimeter of the building, the energy savings are instant
with the luminaires being active only if and when required.
using the 478 DALI Broadcast dimmer. If required, the
lighting loads can be manually restored to ‘Auto’ mode using
Helvar’s override panel installed within the ‘Lodge’. The
combination of energy efficient LED luminaires, coupled
with Helvar’s dimming control has meant that energy
consumption at the car park has dropped significantly with
savings within the first few months of installation.
Jas Clare, Helvar UK Commercial Manager, was involved at
the concept stage, meeting with Dan Linehan of Nualight
to guarantee that the requirements of the client were met.
“The main requirements were to ensure energy saving and
ease of maintenance”, says Jas Clare. “A control specification
was drawn up using DALI broadcast control, along with
the use of PIR and Daylight sensor controls. This helped
create a lighting environment that would both enhance the
lighting of the car park, but also have levels of control that
provide ascetically pleasing scenes and maintain a safe level
of lighting within the areas.”

Helvar goes for
gold at the Olympic
Museum
The recently reopened Olympic Museum in Lausanne,
Switzerland houses permanent and temporary exhibits
relating to sport and the Olympic movement. With more
than 10,000 pieces spanning over four floors, the museum
holds the largest archive of Olympic Games in the world
and is one of Lausanne’s prime tourist sites, drawing in
more than 250,000 visitors each year.
Containing highly interactive exhibits organised into three
main themes spanning three floors, Olympic World, Olympic
Games and Olympic Spirit, the museum takes visitors on a
journey through the Olympic history, starting with ancient
games going through to the rebirth of the modern games in
the 19th Century.

Sutton Vane Associates were the lighting designers that
initially specified Helvar and were looking for a lighting
control system that could manage display lighting in the
museum and could easily be integrated with the interactive
audio visual system, which features over 150 screens and
touch-screens.
Adrian Milner, Project Manager at Paragon Creative, the
main contractor for the project said, “This was a complex
system interfacing with an AV system show controller. The
Helvar system took its signals from a Medialon control
system which in turn was triggered by an existing BMS.
Programming to the initial system was carried out by a
qualified engineer, but once set up it has proved easy to run.”
“The challenges for the lighting control system were greater
than usual as it had to communicate with another system
in other parts of the building, integrate with complex audio
visual systems and handle changing lighting. The Helvar
system delivered all that I needed and the engineers did
a great job on site commissioning the system”, says Mark
Sutton Vane, lighting designer and London 2012 Legacy
Ambassador for Lighting.
HELVAR MEETS THE NEED
All four floors of the museum are controlled using a Helvar
920 Router system with 458 Series racks. In addition, the
non-dimmable lighting is managed by 458 SW8 Relay
Modules while dimmable and moving spotlights are
controlled via DMX from the 920 Router.
An essential requirement for the lighting control system was
to flawlessly integrate with the audio visual system to create
a truly engaging experience for Olympic fans worldwide.
Lighting scenes are therefore triggered via a simple TCP/IP
connection using the HelvarNet protocol.

Lighting solution was required to
take the lighting from ‘bright and
fresh’ in the morning through to
‘softer, more relaxing’ tones during
the afternoon and evening.
Company founder Chrissie Rucker created the firm in 1994
after struggling to find good quality white bed linen at a
reasonable price. The firm – who has been making elegant
and stylish products, primarily in white, for more than 20
years – was seeking a holistic lighting system in alignment
with their brand image. Working closely with LED luminaire
specialist Reggiani, Helvar delivered a fully controllable
lighting system that was in tune with The White Company’s
needs, supporting the store’s ambience. In order to do this,
Helvar provided a 910 router system, allowing the user to
connect up to 64 DALI devices to each subnet, delivering
control over each individual luminaire. The element of
unique control was made possible by the identification of
each luminaire via the Helvar Designer software. A pre-set
level was then programmed into an automated scene recall
function. The program was concisely configured so that
the lighting designer and client could request a luminaire,
out of around 250, and Helvar could point towards that
particular device within the software and set the required
level accordingly.
This individual control was of primary importance to the
project, as a lighting solution was required to take the
lighting from ‘bright and fresh’ in the morning through
to ‘softer, more relaxing’ tones during the afternoon and
evening. As such, Helvar implemented an auto schedule
lighting system to meet these flexible needs whilst providing
the store with a local override facility should the lighting
need to be manually altered at any point. The stair case area
was fitted with tunable white lighting, with the remainder
of the installation was lit with dimmable 3000k high cri
luminaires.

With exacting lighting needs,
Helvar had to ensure that the system

Reggiani Lighting was tasked with implementing the precise
specification, commenting: “In order to create a calm and
inviting environment in which shoppers could browse the
store at their leisure, it was decided that the lighting should
match that of the home as closely as possible.
He continued: “Both the installation and programming
stages ran incredibly smoothly – the controls were easy
to integrate and Helvar was on hand at every step of the
way ensuring the client was provided with all the training
required to use the new lighting system effectively.”
Steve Andrews, Project Manager at Helvar commented:
“In order to help eliminate any issues prior to the
commissioning stage, we provided Reggiani with training
on the user friendly ‘Toolbox’ software system, which
enabled them to easily connect to the DALI circuits,
ensuring correct installation without a hitch. Our aftercare
package combined with excellent customer service provides
The White Company with long-term peace of mind.”
“Four lighting scenes were created – two automatic and
two manually selectable. This was made simple due to the
ease with which the perimeter lighting could be turned
down whilst the more central lighting could be increased,
simulating the natural lighting experienced at home. For
a retailer, using a ‘reverse’ lighting system is quite unusual
but in this instance, met the brief perfectly.”

lighting control. iDim Orbit is a flexible solution comprising either one PIR
sensor which provides 7 m diameter
coverage or five PIR sensors for up to
15 m coverage at 2.8 m height, to cater
for a range of commercial and public
building applications. Its built-in light
sensor provides constant light and
bright out modes for maximum energy
efficiency. The internal time-clock allows for profile scheduling, and it features mobile app connectivity for easy,
quick application-specific configuration using wireless technology.
“iDim Orbit is a revolutionary product
for the industry,” says Nick Van Tromp,
Product Manager at Helvar. “Much
more than just a lighting sensor, it is a
feature-packed energy saving solution
that is both easy to install and simple to
set-up. It has been developed with the
electrical installer in mind, with different connection options for either hardwiring or use with a modular wiring
scheme. Its flexibility allows it to suit

Active+ for self-learning lighting
Helvar’s Active+ is an out-of-the-box
standalone solution consisting of an
LED driver and “our smallest sensor”
yet built into the luminaire.
ACTIVE+ LED DRIVER
The Active+ LED drivers (e.g. LL1x1042 Active+) have an inbuilt smart
learning functionality. With no need
for programming, configuration or external control wiring, the LED driver is
optimised for presence detection and
daylight harvesting. The driver has
an inbuilt power supply that provides
power for the Active+ Sense.
Simple installation
Luminaire fitted with Active+ is as easy to install as a simple switched
luminaire. No control wiring, programming or configuration is needed.
Self-learning
Active+ uses 60-100 hours to learn about its environment - external
daylight conditions, and other luminaires around it.
Smart energy savings
Compared to a simple switched luminaire, Active+ brings added features - presence detection, daylight harvesting and seamless and comfortable dimming.

ACTIVE+ SENSOR
The Active+ Sense combines motion
and light sensing all packaged up in
a very compact unit. The device is
mounted inside the luminaire and is
connected directly to the Active+ LED
driver with no need for an additional
power supply unit.
FITTING IN A LUMINAIRE
which then can be installed as easily
as a basic switching luminaire, having
no physical or electrical connection
to any other external lighting components such as control panels, dimmers
or common sensors.
OPTIONAL ACTIVE+
MOBILE APP
With an optional Active+ Mobile app,
the user can easily change the light levels of individual luminaires if the automatic setup needs fine-tuning.
Luminaires fitted with Active+ solution
are ideal for refurbishment projects, as
well as for new offices, corridors, open
plan areas and storage areas.
The Active+ driver and sensor are designed to fit flexibly into a luminaire,
Sceneset, simple sharing and security
The new SceneSet update includes
some very exciting features which
makes the app a perfect addition to
your professional lighting project, controlled by a Helvar Router system.
One of the key features of the SceneSet
update is the increased security. In order to communicate with a Router system, the app now needs to be paired
to a workgroup by either entering the
fixed IP address of a Router or the serial number of any of the Routers on
the system. This added security will
prevent an outsider gaining unauthorised control of the system.
All settings are now password protected to prevent unwanted changes being
made to the lighting control set up.
This is particularly useful for multiuser sites. The app also offers the ability to export a configuration to the local
device memory or to any cloud storage
apps loaded on the device. Exported
settings can be shared with other devices working across both Android
and iOS platforms e.g. Android to iOS
and vice versa. Group or Scene names
programmed during commissioning
are now automatically displayed in
SceneSet. Finally, it is now possible to
29
show a background image either in full
screen mode or as an inset.

Our new 405 DALI Repeater extends
the maximum DALI line length from
300 m to 600 m. It also provides an
additional 250 mA of DALI power.
This is the most common factor before
reaching the 64 device limit, especially
when using control devices such as sensors. The DALI repeater offers an alternative to adding additional routers by
splitting the DALI subnet into multiple
segments, allowing for more flexibility
with the installation. This device does
not provide additional DALI addresses. The DALI limit of 64 addresses still
applies.
The 405 DALI Repeater is easy to install and comes complete with an integral DALI power supply. Available in
a plastic enclosure with integral strain
relief this makes the 405 DALI Repeater suitable for ceiling voids. The LED
cise
status indicators offer clear and precise
diagnostics.
There is no filtering of messagess as
recDALI messages are passed bi-directionally and are invisible to devicess on
hort
the subnet, without using a DALI short
address.

Outdoor and coated LED drivers
OUTDOOR LED DRIVERS
Helvar's range of IP65 rated drivers
offer reliability, performance and flexibility for challenging conditions of
outdoor luminaire design. Our drivers
have maximum power from 60 W to
100 W and lifetime of 50,000 hours.
There's a wide range of output current
to be selected to be suited for different
luminaire designs.
COATED LED DRIVERS FOR
CHALLENGING CONDITIONS
protect LED driver electronics against
humidity and dirt in challenging conditions. Coated IP 20 rated LED drivers ensure extra protection for industrial or outdoor luminaires.
HOW DOES THE COATING
WORK?
A very thin layer of lacqeur coated onto
the circuit board provides added protection against humidity, in case accidental condensation appears in the
luminaire. These coated drivers are
suitable for extremely cold environments due to the extended tempereature range starting from - 40 °C.
The drivers can be installed in luminaires used outdoors, or in storage areas. Both switching and controllable
drivers have coated versions.
Helvar's popular LED drivers are now
available also with added coating which
