Human-Centric DC Lighting with Integrated Environmental Controls

Scope: 11 Conference Rooms

Primary Focus

Background

A leading Indian FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) conglomerate with strong Indian and International presence. The Group’s portfolio is extensive and diverse with presence in Mouth Freshener, Food and Beverage, Confectionery, Hospitality, Agri, Luxury Retail, Tobacco businesses and also has other investments.

With a strong focus on innovation and sustainability & openness to adapt latest technologies, they identified their 11 conference rooms in Headquarter as critical environments needing improvement in comfort, focus, and operational efficiency.

They demanded their architects to offer a novel way to power & control their lighting fixtures and sensor driver/ single UI driven facility controls on User’s fingertips. The facilities team at the organization aimed to upgrade these rooms to support:

Healthier visual environments
Automated control over lighting, temperature, blinds and Kitchen ordering
Reduced fire risk through improved electrical design

Key Challenges

Challenge

Impact on Operations

Static Lighting & AC

Caused discomfort in long meetings; manual settings not optimized for room usage

Glare from Windows

Affected screen visibility and eye comfort during presentations and video calls

Manual Scene Management

Manual effort for adjusting lighting, blinds, temperature per meeting type

Manual beverage ordering

Disruption to the meeting due to need of pantry boy to collect orders

Solution

The organization deployed MICROSENS DC powered intelligent networked lighting system with tunable LEDs, HVAC integration, automated blinds & beverages order—forming a unified environment control ecosystem.

Dual-Tone Human-Centric LED Lighting

Tunable White Range (2700K–6500K) to support circadian alignment and mental clarity
Scene presets based on room usage:
Focus Mode: Cool light for high-alert tasks
Collaborate Mode: Neutral tone for team discussions
Relax Mode: Warm light for informal sessions
Dynamic daylight sync to reduce fatigue during extended meetings

Safe, DC-Based Electrical Design

Integrated HVAC Control

Smart Window Blinds

Unified Control Interface

Measurable Outcomes

The deployment of the low voltage, intelligent, DC-powered lighting and environmental control system delivered measurable financial and operational benefits:

Annual Energy Cost reduction

~59% with comparable space using traditional systems

Fire Safety & Maintenance Savings

DC infrastructure reduced maintenance calls by over 70% with limited rewiring, drivers/electrical box replacements, Zero emergency callouts for ceiling-related faults

Time & Productivity ROI

- 11 conference rooms with ~20 meetings/week each
- Avg. 4–6 minutes saved per meeting on manual setup
- Reduced fatigue improved focus and reduced post-meeting breaks

Client Testimonial

This is more than just a lighting upgrade—it’s an environment upgrade. The MICROSENS intelligent system has made our conference rooms smarter, safer, and far more productive. It reflects our commitment to innovation and employee well-being.
