SPECIALIST SPOTLIGHT

TRAINING

Q: HOW DOES A LIGHTING SPECIALIST HELP THE CLIENT, PARTICULARLY WITH AUTOMATED LIGHTING AND CONTROLS? Lighting controls can be simple applications such as an occupancy sensor on a fixture, or they can be very technical and involved when building operating systems where controls are linked with software. The Lighting Specialist helps the customer determine the level of automation needed based on their budget and goals (save money, save energy, promote safety, decrease maintenance, etc.). For example, if you want an occupancy sensor to control an area not regularly in use, do you want lights to turn off when the space is unoccupied, or do you want them to dim down 30% for safety reasons? They also help the customer determine whether to use a wireless system or one that is wired into their existing operating systems. For more technical projects, the Lighting Specialist will involve control experts from our vendor and manufacturer representatives. Q: CAN YOU SHARE A SUCCESS STORY WITH US? A car manufacturer wanted more consistent light levels for paint inspection of various colored cars. They asked if light levels could be adjusted depending on the color of the car since different colors reflect varying degrees of light. A Kirby Risk Lighting Specialist worked together with representatives from Lutron to design a system that could easily perform that task. Next, cars were fitted with a tag that indicated a code for a particular color. A reader then connected by an RJ45 to the Lutron Grafik Eye® lighting control system would scan the corresponding coded tag. Scenes were set up within the Lutron Grafik Eye® system to dim to certain light levels determined by the color of the car. For example, when working with a white car, which reflects a high percentage of light, light levels would dim by 50%. For a black car, which reflects a low percentage of light, light levels would increase to 100%. Other scenes were set for varying colors in between. The automatic adjustment of light levels per car helped inspectors see the paint finish more clearly. This also lessened the contrast between each car lighting scene and eased eye strain for inspectors, making their job safer and easier.

Q: WHAT IS THE ROLE OF A LIGHTING SPECIALIST? The role of the Lighting Specialist is to help the customer discover efficient lighting and LED solutions. They offer expertise to determine the most appropriate lighting for the application by performing onsite lighting audits, calculating total cost of ownership (TCO), and return on investment (ROI) to help the customer evaluate the true cost and benefits of their project. They perform lighting analysis to determine energy, labor and environmental savings. They also design lighting layouts and recommend controls to enable additional energy savings, and they can provide working samples of lighting and control products for customer testing. A Lighting Specialist also helps with project considerations for energy and cost savings, ease of installation and maintenance or sustainability such as carbon footprint and safe disposal. Once research and analysis has been completed, the Lighting Specialist and Account Manager work together to determine the best solution for the customer’s goals and needs.
