Cloud-Control
Cloud-Control™ software application provides configuration of AXALIGHT Cloud-Drive enabled
Cloud-Drive
Cloud-Drive™ technology connects drivers and luminaires using wireless technology and eDMX protocols.
CNC
Computer Numerical Control is the automated control of a manufacturing machine by means of a computer.
COB
Chip-on-Board (COB) LEDs are arrays of multiple LEDs. Due to the high LED density, they are powerful for their size, making them an alternative option to using individual LEDs.
Constant-Current
CC power supplies and drivers regulate their output current to a fixed value e.g. 350mA.
Constant-Voltage
CV power supplies and drivers regulate their output voltage to a fixed value e.g. 24 Volts.
CQS
CRI
Colour Rendering Index measures the average quality (Ra) of traditional light sources and considered not representative of modern light sources where the use of CQS, TM-30 or TLCI measurements is prefered.
DALI
The Digital Addressable Lighting Interface is a lighting control protocol primarily used for static scene setting of commercial lighting systems such as offices, hotels and airports.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used on UDP/IP networks to dynamically assign IP address and other network configuration parameters to each device on a network.
DMX 512
DMX is a standard defining interconnection between lighting controllers and lighting equipment. DMX is primarily used in entertainment and dynamic architectural applications. For DMX pinouts dmx protocol
DuoTek
DuoTek™ luminaires
eDMX
eDMX describes protocols that transmit DMX lighting control data over Ethernet networks such as ArtNet and
Ember-White
Ember-White™ luminaires are equipped with specially selected 2,000° Kelvin LEDs to provide light quality comparable to a traditional MR16 lamp when dimmed to 5%.
Ethernet
Filament-White
Filament-White™ luminaires are equipped with specially selected 2700° Kelvin LEDs to provide light quality comparable with tungsten halogen light sources.
Glow-White
Glow-White™ luminaires are equipped with specially selected 2,500° Kelvin LEDs to provide light quality comparable with tungsten halogen light sources.
HCL
Human Centric Lighting is a term that relates to lighting designs and systems intended to focus on the health and well-being of the human occupants of a lighting scheme.
IES
IK Rating
IP Rating
The EN 60529 standard defines Ingress Protection levels of dust and water in the format IPXX. The first digit denotes dust protection, with the second being water.
Kelvin
LAN
Local Area Network. A relatively small localised computer network such as those used in offices, hotels, airports and dwellings.
LED
LM-80
Lumen
The lumen (symbol: lm) is the SI derived unit of luminous flux, a measure of the total quantity of visible light emitted by a source.
Lux
The lux (symbol: lx) is the SI derived unit of illuminance and luminous emittance, measuring luminous flux per unit area. It is equal to one lumen per square metre.
PMMA
Power-Match
Power-Match™ optimises light output by allowing increased power when not all of the LEDs are driven in a colour mixing AXALIGHT luminaire.
PreSure
PreSure™ system allows for validating luminaires IP rating during manufacture and after service operations.
RDM
Remote Device Management is industry standard protocol allowing configuration of RDM enabled devices over standard DMX-512 cabling.
RS-485
RS-485 defines an electrical standard for serial communication. The DMX-512 protocol is based on RS-485.
sACN
Streaming Advanced Control Network is a lighting protocol its primary function is to send DMX control data over Ethernet networks.
SELV
Safety Extra Low Voltage refers to electrical systems and equipment that operates on <= 60VDC or <=24VAC.
SPI
SSID
A Service Set IDentifier is
TIR
TLCI
The Television Lighting Consistency Index measures 18 colours and a root-mean-square calculation method and is used for measuring television lighting sources.
TM-30
The IES TM-30 Fidelity Index measures 99 colours with a root mean fidelity result (Rf). TM-30 is considered more representative than CRI and CQS measurements.
Twin-White
Twin-White™ combines two differing colour temperatures within the same luminaire. When dimmed separately the colour temperature can be varied.
Vector
Vertex
WAN
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi wireless networks allow Ethernet (IP) based communication without wires. Wi-Fi networks range from a single access point to large scale enterprise systems.
