Organic Response
Revolutionary Lighting
Control Technology
Organic Response®
A revolution in lighting
control, the Organic
Response® lighting control
system maximises energy
savings without the need for
costly and time consuming
installation and commissioning.
An Organic Response® enabled luminaire delivers high performance
lighting control without the need for additional control hardware, wiring or
commissioning. All intelligence is contained within the integrated Sensor
Node, and shared between neighbouring luminaires using proximity limited
wireless infrared communication.
Infrared Transmitter
Organic Response® is a self
contained, factory fitted integral
detector which communicates
wirelessly with its neighbouring
Organic Response® enabled luminaires,
thereby automatically controlling light
across the entire workspace.

Status Indicator
Each Organic Response® luminaire continuously makes
lighting decisions based on the proximity of occupants
to it, and shares this real-time information with other
Organic Response® luminaires, enabling them to make
more intelligent decisions. When used with a dimmable
ballast, the Organic Response® enabled Cascade Edge
or Duo3 will dim or brighten in response to occupant
activity and levels of ambient light.
A school of fish moves effortlessly and
in complete harmony with nature, with
individual fish continuously making small
decisions in response to the actions of their
immediate neighbours and the environment.
Each fish is smart enough to operate independently,
yet is part of an elegantly flexible system of Distributed
Intelligence that solves complex problems easily without
the need for centralised control.
Organic Response®
How Organic Response® works
The moment a Sensor Node detects occupancy, it switches on its
luminaire to a predetermined level. It simultaneously communicates
with its immediate neighbours, using proximity limited wireless
infrared, telling them it can see someone. On receipt of this
signal (and even though it may not itself detect anyone), the
neighbouring Sensor Node switches its luminaire on to a specified
level (e.g. 80% output), and simultaneously relays a signal to its
own neighbours, telling them that one of its immediate neighbours
can see someone. This propagates rapidly throughout the floor
with each Sensor Node receiving a signal indicating how close
someone is to it, and emitting a pre-programmed light level based
on that occupancy information, after adjusting for ambient light.
Simultaneously, it increments the signal by one level and
re-transmits it.

When movement is detected a signal is relayed via infrared to
other Organic Response® luminaires in the area.

Organic Response® is no more costly than a DALI integrated
control system, yet is much simpler and faster to install. This
can reduce installation time by up to a third, saving both time
and money. Furthermore, Organic Response® requires little or no
commissioning, and can be re-configured at any time without the
need for costly site visits. A simple mobile app is available, giving
access to full functionality and configuration. Pre-set personalities
are built in, allowing the user to choose from a series of preconfigured scenarios designed to maximise energy savings and
provide a comfortable working environment.

Start up mode
Ethernet gateway
Luminaires can be configured to enter a preset Scene on start-up. This can reduce power
reticulation and generator load in power
failure/emergency conditions.
Allows integration with third party control
systems to control the lights. This is ideal
for scene setting via a dedicated AV
system (e.g. Crestron) or changing other
parameters via the BMS.
Daylight dimming
Daylight dimming can be activated to
maximise energy savings in any area that
is exposed to natural light — every Sensor
Node has this capability.
Wall washing
Helps maintain vertical illumination on certain
walls in large open plan offices (or highlight
feature walls, pendants & other striking
architectural features) while an occupant is
anywhere on the floor, improving the look and
feel of the space & occupancy comfort.
Corridor linking
Corridors can be linked to neighbouring
zones using the smartphone app.
Zones
Allows adjacent areas to respond differently
to occupancy. Zones can be entirely
independent (e.g. separating the printer galley
from the open plan), or interdependent (e.g.
linking the open plan zone to the corridor
zone). Handy for breakout areas, glass
fronted offices, and meeting rooms.
The Organic Response® remote app
A simple, intuitive user interface for optimising the lighting
control system within minutes with the press of a few buttons.
All interaction with the system, including all the features
highlighted in this diagram, is enabled using the app.

Personalities
A luminaire’s response to occupancy can
be configured using the “Personalities”
feature. There are over a dozen pre-set
Personalities, allowing you to find the
ultimate balance between occupancy
comfort and energy efficiency.
Scenes
A wireless Wall Switch allows for manual On/
Off switching, dimming and scene control. It
can be mounted anywhere within the space
and moved simply and easily if working
requirements change. Perfect for scene control
in meeting rooms or anywhere that requires
individual dimming control (e.g. closed office).
Sensor node link
Connects two physically isolated Sensor
Nodes. Ideal for linking a closed office to a
neighbouring corridor, so that the corridor
remains on while the office is occupied.
This ensures that a lone occupant exiting
their office late at night is not confronted by
darkness.
Detached sensor node
housing
Used to control more than one luminaire, (e.g.
down lights or spot lights). Also used to control
luminaires which cannot accommodate Sensor
Node integration (e.g. pendants)
Night lighting/security lighting
Vacant reception areas or lobbies can have selected
luminaires remain on permanently (at chosen light level),
ensuring a welcoming environment for anyone entering the
space, upon which the luminaires will intuitively brighten.
One sensor node, unlimited flexibility
These levels of interaction with the system, or Tiers of Simplicity, reflect our design ethos and
our corporate mission, allowing a “plug & play” experience that meets the needs of most
users and a highly sophisticated interaction for even the most demanding building manager
or tenant. All interaction takes place in situ using a simple smartphone app.

Exploit the occupancy information
cloud® (oic) to make your entire
building more energy efficient:
- integrate with building management
systems (e.g. hvac, lift management)
- analyse occupancy data to improve
space utilisation and workplace
design
Tier 4 delivers on the promise of the smart lighting revolution,
where buildings start to adapt to their changing environment
and needs of their occupants. Organic Response® will be
able to provide real-time, location specific occupancy
data that allows for analysis of space utilization and
optimisation of building design.
Its connectivity to building management systems
allows occupancy data to better inform other building
services so that they become more efficient. Broader
connectivity to the Internet of Things ensures that
Organic Response® installations are future-proofed.
