Stand-out features of the installation
- Easy control by using an iPAD
- Automatic sequence of the light colours adapted to the times of day for better well-being
- Sustainable and energy-saving LEDs
- Highly efficient system
One of the most important objectives for the floors in the intensive care unit was to implement a control system that could parameterise the lighting by sector. Two very important points were to be taken into account: patient comfort on the one hand, and the use and functionality required by the healthcare staff on the other.
Why Blu2Light as control system in the intensive care unit
The healthcare team should be able to interact with the control system in a simple and intuitive way. This was achieved by using the LiNA Touch app, as staff can easily control the lighting in the rooms with an iPad, e.g. by increasing the light intensity in an emergency. The available settings are defined beforehand in the configuration, so that nothing stands in the way of easy operation.
Another point is that the system had to have an excellent cost-benefit ratio, providing the functionality that the engineers required, being a highly efficient system, which Blu2Light fulfils perfectly. Last but not least, the implementation on site and the configuration of the system had to be easy to carry out, trying to reduce the wiring between components as much as possible.
The intensive care unit floors are equipped with various VS sensors, controllers, LED drivers and linear LED modules.

A building management system (BMS) with Blu2Light
Blu2Light can be operated as a modular base for completeBuilding Management Systems (BMS) to control an entire building complex using a Bluetooth mesh or wired installation networks.
In the building of Vossloh-Schwabe in South Africa a Building Management System has been specified and installed by our partner companies RDL and WARDEW. This BMS has been developed with the background of the Blu2Light-Technology and has been enhanced to control and record diverse applications, normally to be found in modern buildings. The installation has been designed, installed and monitored for more than a year to gain experience especially in the challenging African environment.
This Blu2Light installation in the VS Africa Building in Midrand was a first of its kind for Vossloh-Schwabe in South Africa. RDL Consulting was hired by VS Africa to ensure that every Blu2Light installation is functioning according to the required specifications. The BMS access and communication is realised with the license free VS-Gateway, connected to a PLC (programmable logic controller), a combination which makes basically everything possible. The following section explains the various functions of the Blu2Light-based BMS and the reasons for the success and of the system.
Control and monitoring of various functions takes place via app. Among other things, lighting situations are controlled and CO2 values, temperature and humidity in various rooms are monitored.
