“Dynamic colours for outdoor lighting”, continued<br />

Installed in the ceiling units behind the stretch film are digital dimmable PCA ECO ballasts<br />

for perfect control of the coloured and white fluorescent lamps<br />

Scenes have been programmed in which<br />

the artificial lighting is dimmed according to<br />

the amount of natural light coming in through<br />

the 210 m 2 windows, taking full advantage<br />

of considerable potential energy savings.<br />

The attractive and intuitive x-touchPANEL operating<br />

and control unit from <strong>Tridonic</strong>Atco makes<br />

configuring the lighting moods no problem at<br />

all. Theory and practice come together neatly<br />

here, with installation and setup simplicity itself.<br />

Lighting sequences and colour changes can<br />

be set up very quickly with the x-touchPANEL.<br />

Up to 128 DALI addresses can be controlled<br />

and <strong>16</strong> lighting groups can be assigned. In<br />

addition, <strong>16</strong> lighting scenes can be programmed<br />

and recalled. The two software versions<br />

stored in the x-touchPANEL guarantee versatile<br />

lighting management. One option is a program<br />

focuses on mood lighting with white light and<br />

scene selections. The option selected for the<br />

Gravis flagship store is the one that is designed<br />

specifically for time-controlled colour changes<br />

and colour sequencing via RGB colour mixing.<br />

The special feature is the ease with which<br />

colours can be selected. The shade is chosen<br />

by touch from a palette of colours and the<br />

x-touchPANEL then automatically calculates<br />

the light levels for the individual coloured light<br />

sources.<br />

The integrated DALI sequencer enables lighting<br />

moods (scenes) to be called up one after<br />

the other automatically. Up to 99 independent<br />

lighting sequences can be stored, each capable<br />

of calling up to <strong>16</strong> lighting scenes any number<br />

of times. This means that the atmosphere in<br />

the room can be constantly changing.<br />

In addition to manual selection of lighting<br />

scenes and dimming, a total of seven<br />

“schedules” can be defined. These are<br />

calendar-controlled sequences.<br />

Intuition triumphs<br />

With its impressive lighting system the Gravis<br />

store is a real eye-catcher, both inside with<br />

its bright and inviting atmosphere, and outside<br />

where at night-time dynamic coloured lighting<br />

is used to make it a focal point of local interest.<br />

The power behind this lighting system is<br />

<strong>Tridonic</strong>Atco’s expertise in innovative control<br />

concepts with its digital dimmable PCA ECO<br />

ballasts and DALI/DSI converters. The impressive<br />

appearance that the store presents to<br />

the world is thanks in no small measure to the<br />

x-touchPANEL with its intuitive control concept<br />

that enables new lighting ideas to created with<br />

no problem at all.<br />
