STEINEL’s LuxMaster lighting control system, available from SES Lighting , is based on cutting-edge sensor, light and electrical engineering. This sensor technology utilises the fact that the human body radiates heat. Just as light, this heat is part of the spectrum of electromagnetic waves and is known as infrared radiation.
In LuxMaster lighting control system, three highly sensitive pyro sensors detect body heat. To be more precise, they sense the fluctuation in temperature that occurs when a person enters their detection zone.
A multilens attachment divides the detection zone of the sensors into many small segments. This means that temperature fluctuations resulting from slight movements – as little as 10 centimetres – are capable of activating the sensors.
At the same time, a light sensor constantly measures ambient brightness and compares it with the brightness setting. The built-in electronics process the information received from light sensor and pyro sensors. This information is then used to control the lighting and level of illumination of all light sources connected.
