SECURUS/Use Cases/Lighting monitoring

Lighting monitoring for buildings and outdoor areas

Light sensors measure illuminance in lux. SECURUS detects unnecessary lighting after closing time, areas that are too dark and failures.

The problem

Why lighting monitoring matters

Lighting often stays on in empty rooms or outside operating hours. At the same time, work and outdoor areas that are too dark go unnoticed without measurements.

The solution

How it works with SECURUS

  • Measure illuminance in lux indoors and outdoors
  • Detect lights left on after closing time using time rules
  • Report areas that are too dark and possible failures
  • Compare lighting histories with occupancy and energy data
