Light in action A sophisticated home automation control system founded on Philips Dynalite technology provides Orchard House with unrivalled performance, controllability and energy efficiency. Lighting up a London mansion 12 | Lightnews Vol 10 Orchard House—a spectacular eightbedroom detached residence adjoining Wimbledon Common in South London— has been designed to offer unparalleled luxury. The three-storey house features four separate living areas, its own cinema, an adjoining indoor swimming pool and spa complex, separate staff accommodation and a security lodge.

This enables users to remotely control the lighting in each area, to create their preferred mood-lighting, and recall them at the press of a single button. ‘Hello’ and ‘goodbye’ modes have also been programmed into the controller, to allow simple light-setting activation on leaving or arrival. Controllers in each area allow room occupants to directly tailor the lighting to their own requirements.
Philips Dynalite’s intelligent mood lighting and climate control system is featured throughout the property, including the kitchen. Ever-changing light A major design feature of Orchard House is the centrally positioned glass atrium, which necessitates sophisticated lighting controls to respond to the ever-changing natural light conditions. Passive infrared (PIRs) daylight sensors automatically dim the appropriate lighting circuits when the natural light reaches a pre-designated lux level. Equally, when the lux level drops to a preset level, the ceiling lighting is automatically reactivated. The Philips Dynalite system incorporates ballast controllers to enable dimming of the lighting circuits, and these have been programmed to operate at 95 per cent, in order to reduce energy wastage and to save lamp life. Cold-cathode bulkhead lighting is provided within the indoor swimming pool area. This lighting is concealed in troughs with downlights incorporated to create an attractive ‘V’-shaped lighting ‘wall wash’ effect on the polished-plaster walls. Ceiling-mounted fibre-optics—replicating the sparkle of stars in the night sky—further enhance the lighting ambience. The climate-control systems are fully integrated into the Philips Dynalite network, (left) The living room can be transformed into a home cinema with a single press of a button on the Philips Dynalite user panel. enabling the heating and air-conditioning systems to be linked to the organic lightemitting diode (OLED) displays built into the control panels. These displays have been installed within the main rooms to provide the occupant with localised climate control. Automatic cinema Similarly, operation of the audiovisual systems has been dramatically simplified by integration into the Philips Dynalite control system. The living room can be transformed into a home cinema with a single press of a button. As the black-out blinds are lowered, LED perimeter lighting is activated and other lighting circuits within the room are faded down. As this happens, the projector, screen and speakers are automatically lowered from concealed locations to complete the transformation from living area into home cinema. As integrated home automation becomes increasingly important in the residential sector, Orchard House showcases what this technology makes possible. The Philips Dynalite control system sets a new benchmark for future home automation and lighting management projects. Lightnews Vol 10 | 13
