This massive savings saw Totalec awarded the Environment and
Energy Efficiency Award at the recent National Electrical and Communications Association (NECA) NSW Excellence Awards.
The new lighting installation was a key element of a total building upgrade that saw the Beverly Hills cinema complex expanded from a twin theatre to a six-theatre multiplex.
According to Totalec site supervisor, Nick Sais, the Beverly Hills six-cinema complex is one of the world's first commercial buildings to be entirely illuminated using LED and optic fibre lighting technology. "The combination of LED lighting and
Dynalite's automated lighting system makes this lighting installation extremely energy efficient," he said. "LEDs are inherently more energy efficient than conventional incandescent and gaseous-discharge luminaires. Furthermore, automating the lighting system means lights are only activated when and where they are required, and only at the required levels of illumination."
Dynalite collaborated with Totalec to design a state-of-the-art automated lighting control system tailored to the cinema's operational requirements. The system comprises a range of
Dynalite ballast and relay controllers, motion detectors, switches and a number of control and monitoring interfaces, all linked via
Dynalite's sophisticated peer-to-peer communications serial bus network, DyNet. A range of luminaires, including high-powered LED fittings, strip lighting, wall washers and aisle lighting was provided by architectural lighting specialist, Optic Fibre and LED Lighting Solutions.
