DARA Lighting is the easiest way to control your lights and reduce energy bills. The solution is highly flexible, suitable for any type of business – from office spaces, manufacturing, industrial and logistic applications all the way to the largest of retailers. With just a few taps you can control luminaires one by one or as a group. For example you can set up a group for the office space and another one for a meeting room or a kitchenette and dim up or down lights in each of these spaces. You can also create scenarios depending on the day of the week, time of the day or other relevant events. Set the lights at a higher dim level for the office space and a lower dim level for the corridors and save all these settings in a scenario. Or set all lights to dim down once office hours or retail open hours are over. Share your network with other users and let them adjust the lighting. Dara Lighting has several levels of users (network owner, administrator or simple user), each with their own corresponding lights. DARA Lighting has mesh capabilities, thus the functionality is dependable, redundant and resilient over hundreds of square meters. Due to its dual control – both BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) for DALI communication and Wi-Fi, – a user can individually control a large number of luminaires. With this solution any business has the power to tailor its lighting preferences and, at the same time, greatly reduce its energy expenses by making sure light is present only when needed.
