Case Study: Prince Albert Street House

Client: Balzan family

Location: Mosman, Sydney NSW

Systems Integrator: Lumen Resources

Project Stats:

  • 1 x zencontrol Wireless Controller
  • 30 x Wireless Lights, with DT8 circadian rhythm 

 

Located in Mosman, Sydney, this high-end home underwent a lighting transformation with the installation of a zencontrol wireless DALI-2 system, replacing an outdated C-Bus setup. Featuring 30 DALI lights with DT8 circadian rhythm, the project offered a significant upgrade in control and functionality. DALI-2 was chosen for its wireless, customisable, and future-proof capabilities, enabling an elegant integration with Control 4 for seamless smart home management.

The system provides tunable lighting that adjusts with natural daylight cycles, promoting well-being by enhancing energy, mood, and sleep quality. The app-based control allows flexibility, providing remote operation of the lighting system. The smooth dimming and flicker-free operation have significantly improved the home's ambience, while sensor lighting in key areas adds safety and convenience. With modern backlit switches and a convenient 'All Lights Off' feature, the home offers ease of use and enhanced aesthetics.

Case Study: Qantas Group Flight Training Facility

Client: LOGOS and CAE Inc

Location: Mascot, Sydney NSW

Electrical Contractor: Barnwell Cambridge

Systems Integrator: LUX Automation

Project Stats:

  • 69 X zencontrol Application Controllers
  • 150 X zencontrol Sensors
  • 220 X zencontrol Switches
  • 1000+ X DALI Lights

 

“I appreciated the ease of commissioning zencontrol via a mobile, it was much more convenient than carrying around a laptop to flash and commission DALI light fittings.”

  • Carle Baker, Lighting Control Specialist LUX Automation

The new Qantas Group Flight Training Facility (QGFTF) in Sydney, developed by LOGOS Property Group, is set to become a leading centre for pilot and cabin crew training. Spanning 7,000m² over three floors, it will feature eight full-motion flight simulators, including one for the Airbus A350, along with advanced training devices, emergency procedures equipment, and classrooms.

A standout feature is the DALI lighting system, providing exceptional energy efficiency. In this zencontrol project, a key requirement was the use of Clipsal Iconic switchplates. LUX Automation expertly wired 220 Iconic slave mechs to zc-switches, meeting the brief with precision.

Set to open in early 2024, the facility will train up to 4,500 Qantas and Jetstar pilots and cabin crew annually, supporting Qantas' growth plans.
