People need light not only so they can see clearly. Lighting that goes beyond visual function and adapts to the daylight can help people at all times of the day and night. The person feels good and therefore performs better. The PLATO floor luminaire illuminates the work area evenly. Maximum uniformity is guaranteed even in high-ceilinged rooms thanks to the light fields, which shine direct light inwards towards the centre of the table, and indirect light centrally above the table. Functionality at the highest level.
The PLATO office floor luminaire was specially designed for normative lighting solutions with the aim of providing the most uniform illumination of the workspace. Thanks to the two separate and controllable light fields featuring micro CDP optics, the PLATO automatically adjusts itself to each individual workstation. It is therefore the perfect companion for modern workspaces with adjustable standing tables. The interlocking curves and rounded edges can be described as beautiful, graceful and understated. PLATO also plays in the top league when it comes to control in terms of functionality and energy efficiency: EDR control, SPREAD function, BLE capability, TW-Circadian, HF sensor, scene creation, timer control and electronic buttons are just a few of the many functions. PLATO can also be conveniently controlled using a smartphone app (iOS, Android).
The lateral light supply into a light-directing pane of acrylic glass is combined with a microprismatic cover to ensure perfect glare suppression that is suitable for computer workstations. This combination also ensures even illumination of the light fields, which creates a pleasant ambiance. Light is regulated without any flickering throughout the full dimming range from 100 to 0.5 per cent, without the individual dimming steps being perceptible.
If the ambient light fades abruptly, the Sensonic EDR immediately adjusts the light intensity to ensure the desired brightness without any noticeable interruption. In the case of slight changes in light, the control system reacts more slowly to the lighting situation, thus ensuring optimum lighting control for the user, which is as imperceptible as possible.
The control panel on the vertical tube allows users to adjust the lighting control system manually at any time, if required.
Situations with lots of daylight require only minimal assistance from artificial light
If the daylight intensity decreases, the PLATO floor luminaire automatically keeps the level of illumination on the work surfaces constant
At night – without natural light – the artificial light takes over the task of fully lighting the workstation
With its interlocking curves and rounded edges, the luminaire has a beautiful, graceful and understated design and can be seemlessly integrated into any workspace.
Despite its size, the luminaire head remains discreetly in the background and disappears when your eyes scan the room due to its slim structure measuring just 16 mm thick. The bracket at the top, which connects the vertical tube and the luminaire head via a ball-and-socket joint, makes the luminaire head appear to float in space, offering a fresh alternative to more commonplace luminaire shapes. The ball-and-socket joint allows the head to be rotated by 90 degrees in both directions and levelled by 2 to 3 degrees in all directions. This allows the luminaire head to be perfectly aligned to individual workstation configurations.
In addition to the standard aluminium version, which features a finely textured white powder coating, custom paint finishes are also available.
In a network with several Sensonic EDR luminaires with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) capabilities, the swarm function can be activated and configured. This prevents «islands of light» from being created in a dark open-plan office where your desk can be lit but the rest of the room is unlit, creating an unpleasant atmosphere.
When the swarm function is activated, the luminaires «communicate» with each other within the same room, the same group or within a defined radius of operation, illuminating the office environment to a pleasant level with their indirect light.
The integrated RTC module (real time clock) and the geographical location stored in the control system enable the tunable white circadian function (TWC) and cycle time programming.
With the location definition feature,the luminaire «knows» where it is located and what time it is. This allows different scenarios to be programmed using cycles times that specify, for example, when the motion detector should be activated or deactivated or whether a stored lighting scene should be called up at a certain time.
The TWC luminaire version is a tunable white luminaire where the colour temperature follows the daylight temperature curve, making it ideal for HCL (human centric lighting) projects. This curve can be customised on request.
With the BLE version, both the daylight temperature curve and the cycle times can be set and adjusted on site or the time and location can be updated.
With the BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) module, the luminaire can be operated via an iOS or Android app on a smartphone. This provides a multitude of additional settings options.
The BLE module also allows several luminaires to be networked. These can be divided into rooms and/or groups so that they can be jointly controlled using an external wireless switch, for example, or a swarm function can be configured.
A gateway can also be used to establish a connection to a superordinate information or management system. For example, light settings can be transmitted from a building management system to the luminaires, or monitoring functions can be carried out.
