Reliable lighting is a critical aspect of industrial workplace safety and performance. Lighting systems must provide high visibility, while minimizing shadows and glare to help create a safe and productive work environment for your employees. Poor or inadequate lighting is a leading factor in workplace accidents and injuries.

In addition to safety challenges, lighting systems in harsh and hazardous applications face rising energy and maintenance costs due to the over-usage of lights. Running lights more than necessary, often due to a lack of effective control, shortens the life of the fixtures and drives up material and labor costs. Plus, slowing or stopping production to replace failed lighting impacts your productivity.

Champ Intelligent lighting helps mitigate these challenges

Crouse-Hinds series Champ™ lighting fixtures are renowned for their reliability and safety in harsh and hazardous lighting applications. And now, they are available with intelligent control and insight capabilities, delivering more operational value and better total cost of ownership.

Combining our advanced LED lighting design with communications and sensing technology and an intuitive app-based interface, you now have full lighting control at your fingertips to help improve safety, maximize energy savings and minimize maintenance costs.

Powered by Brightlayer

Champ Intelligent lighting utilizes Eaton’s Brightlayer Industrial Suite, an industry-focused software solution that provides data and insights to drive real operational value for your facility, process, or asset. With Brightlayer, you can use data from your operation, including installed equipment, to bring new opportunities into focus. Software, data and services coupled with our industry expertise helps give you the ability to leverage reliable, secure and actionable data to power your operation smarter.

Designed for simplicity

Intuitive commissioning and control provides effortless management of your lighting system.  Unlike other ”connected” lighting solutions that use complex hardware and software, Champ Intelligent lighting fixtures feature a robust, easy to use mobile interface that connects to each fixture via Bluetooth low energy (BLE) technology.

All from your mobile device - no gateways or servers required!

  • Designed to simplify light fixture control
  • App-based configuration for effortless customization
  • Creates a connected infrastructure for future scalability

Intelligent lighting control reduces costs by optimizing your system and eliminating over-usage of lights

Combinations of the control functions below can be utilized across your facility to optimize light levels by site and minimize your energy and maintenance costs.

Live fixture ID

Our intuitive app-based dashboard enables quick and easy identification of individual lights installed in the field.  Simply select "live id" for a specific fixture and it will cycle on and off three times.
 
bli-lighting-grouping.jpg

Device grouping *

An added benefit that maximizes control in a defined area. By grouping light fixtures, the same control settings can be applied to them all,  increasing efficiency and response time.

* This lighting functionality requires a subscription to our Brightlayer Advanced service plan.  See below for more details.

Wireless ON/OFF & dimming

Turn lights on and off directly from the dashboard.  Reduce energy consumption by setting dimming levels. Used in conjunction with other control features, such as scheduling and occupancy sensing, to further improve energy savings.
Data

Intelligent scheduling *

Allows for improving energy efficiency during non-operational hours. Easy app-based configuration lets a user set up schedules for lights to be on and off at pre-defined times, removing the challenges of manual management.
bli-lighting-occupancy-sensing.jpg

Occupancy sensing *

Ideal for areas that see infrequent traffic, such as storage areas of warehouses. Sensor controls can automatically illuminate the area once presence is sensed and also turn lights back off when presence is no longer sensed.
bli-lighting-daylight-harvesting.jpg

Daylight harvesting *

Allows for use of the daylight and adjusts the light level of the luminaire to maintain desired light levels. It is best suited for outdoor environments or indoor areas where daylight is present during operational hours of a facility.

Provide the RIGHT amount of light, WHEN and WHERE you need it!

With our intuitive app-based interface, you can utilize combinations of the above control functions across your facility to optimize light levels by site, while minimizing run time to lower your energy and maintenance costs.
