"In addition to the easy installation, we were absolutely convinced by the outstanding technical possibilities for setting and adjusting the RS PRO Connect 5100 LED. This allows us to optimally adapt the lighting control to the respective situation on site and to exploit the energy-saving potential in the best possible way."

Sensor-LED lights in an underground car park with a parked car in the background

The outdated lighting in the underground car park has now been replaced by RS PRO Connect 5100 LED sensor-switched diffuser luminaires. A control system that is tailored to the local conditions ensures that light is only ever switched on where users are present and light is needed. Individually adjustable time intervals ensure that the light dims to a lower level when it detects that the area is no longer being used. The light switches off completely when no one is in the area for a longer period of time. This lighting solution can reduce total operating costs by 94.4%.

About the product

More comfort, lower costs.

reliable analysis

The PROLog measuring device from STEINEL determines specific savings potential in energy, lighting and
service costs as well as CO2 emissions based on user behaviour and the lighting conditions on site.

Easy assembly and installation

All the lights are conveniently started up and adjusted by the STEINEL Connect app. Practical: existing drill holes and cables can easily be reused.

flexible networking

Using the app, multiple RS PRO Connect 5100 LEDs can be networked, grouped and controlled in an energy-efficient way via Bluetooth mesh. This intelligent lighting solution from STEINEL can achieve a high level of energy savings.

The light accompanies the user on their way

The neighbour function allows luminaires in adjacent areas to be activated. This means that the light is always switched on exactly where the user is currently located and will be shortly.
