We have developed an innovative secure access control solution that has many advantages:
The advantage of our solution
- reduced cabling cost because a single Ethernet cable can power and control our peripherals;
- no processing unit (UTL), access management is done at the server level;
- security: the strike relays are remote from the readers;
- flexibility and scalability: adding, moving affluent readers;
- turnkey solution (entirely developed by ODALID);
Ambient lighting, task lighting and accent lighting
To illuminate a space, rather than betting on a single solution, it is recommended to use different types of luminaires, each of which will fulfill a specific function. To find the most appropriate solution, it is necessary to take into account the use of each zone, its size and its aesthetics.
There are three basic types of PoE lighting: mood lighting, task lighting and accent lighting. The combination of all three in the same space – especially in a multifunctional room – allows for a flexible and efficient lighting plan.
Can PoE and non-PoE devices be used in my network?
Yes it is indeed possible to use PoE devices in a network with non-PoE devices. However, non-PoE devices cannot power Powered Device equipment (i.e. devices that are not suitable for powering at low current), nor can they be powered by PSEs. Non-PoE devices must have a separate power source.
What are the advantages ?
- POE also makes it possible to use a single cable for data transmission. This reduces the cost of purchasing as well as deploying cables for network equipment.
- POE technology makes it easier to install and/or extend the network and also to reduce costs in structures.
- The use of POE allows the installation of a device in a certain place, in particular where the installation of a power supply is impossible or very little recommended.
- Using PoE can reduce the number of cables and electrical outlets needed in a cluttered room of equipment or in a wiring closet.
Ambient lighting has the function of providing general lighting and providing a uniform level of brightness. It is the first layer of the lighting plan and it sets the tone of a space. This is why it is generally soft or diffused and, most often, equipped with a dimmer to adapt it to day or night situations.
Ambient lighting is particularly important in corridors and stairways, where visibility and orientation must be optimal. It is also useful in kitchens and office rooms, where light fixtures provide a constant level of light.
There are several types of mood lights:
- Ceiling mounted or recessed ceiling lights that direct light downwards
- Wall sconces or floor lamps that sweep the wall and/or the ceiling with light
- The indirect lighting integrated into the cornices, the floor lamps and suspensions which reflect the light on the walls and ceilings.
- Although it provides general light, mood lighting is not ideal for working or highlighting certain elements of a space. This is the role of the other two types of lighting.
Where can accent lighting be used?
This type of lighting is used in many areas and places at the residential, commercial and commercial level. Always with the intention of catching people’s attention when they pass her. Now let’s see in more detail where accent lights can be used:
Using accent lighting in living rooms
In this area you can see accent lights to highlight decorations on the walls, family photos, titles or certificates, objects or even the television thanks to LED strips transforming the living room into a home cinema to share with family and/or friends.
Using accent lighting in bedrooms
The room can be illuminated by spotlights embedded in the ceiling at specific points responsible for illuminating the space by refraction. It is also used in areas such as bedroom closets and walk-in closets.
Using accent lighting in bathrooms
Accent lights are used in bathrooms in the mirror area to facilitate activities such as brushing teeth, washing hands and/or applying makeup. They can also be used to accent decorations with recessed lights.
Use accent lights in kitchens
In kitchens, accent lighting is used to enhance designs and utility areas. The most common fixtures in kitchens are recessed and track spotlights.
Use of accent lighting in museums and theaters
Museums are arguably where accent lighting is most used to showcase artwork, with recessed lighting and track lighting being the way it is implemented. Theaters also benefit from this lighting to draw attention to the stage, it is also used in the hallways and showrooms within these facilities.
Use of accent lights in businesses
Many companies and businesses use accent lights as a complement to their decoration and even for sales strategies, as in the case of stores that display their products in windows with accent lights.
Cinemas are another of the companies that benefit from accent lights, a clear example is the posters they use for the premieres of their films which are usually highlighted by means of lights.
Ergonomic lighting will have many advantages:
Concentration
A lack of light automatically leads to fatigue, because the body thinks that evening is already here and then switches to night mode. Employees are therefore less able to concentrate and make more errors. They are no longer as receptive and attentive. Ergonomic lighting in the workplace, on the other hand, can increase concentration, which will make it easier to complete even the most complex tasks.
Productivity
Generally speaking, ergonomic lighting in the workplace leads to better results and improved performance. When LED lighting conditions are good, projects are often processed faster and more efficiently. This is due to greater motivation and the fact that employees feel more at ease.
Satisfaction
The effectiveness of an employee’s work is often linked to his satisfaction. Spending eight hours a day sitting in a poorly lit workplace does not promote well-being, far from it. And when well-being is not there, performance is greatly affected. Good lighting is an essential factor in job satisfaction, as it automatically increases well-being.
Health
Ergonomic lighting contributes to health. And this is all the more true when it comes to natural light. Daylight is indeed essential to the human body, which needs it to produce vitamin D, which is largely responsible for mood. It should also be remembered that inadequate lighting can irritate the eyes and damage them. Headaches are another side effect of poor lighting.
Cost reduction
If a company relies on ergonomic workstation lighting, it can save money in certain circumstances, because the correct use of sunlight and the use of energy-efficient office luminaires can significantly reduce energy consumption. electricity and energy.
