brightness in the respective area. When
nobody is present, lighting is reduced to
minimal brightness or, outside of main
usage times, switched off completely.
This cuts down on energy costs and in-
creases the light bulbs longevity.
Third-switching
With GAMMA instabus
, a so-called
“third-switching” can be implemented:
A third of the lamps remains switched
on for a basic lighting level. This third
of the light bulbs, due to their higher
usage, will need to be replaced before
the other light bulbs. GAMMA instabus
makes it possible to simply use all the
lights in such a way that they rotate to
cover the basic lighting level. By evenly
distributing the load, all light bulbs can
be replaced at the same time, and the
exchanges in the meantime will not be
necessary.
Tracking of operating hours
GAMMA instabus
tracks the operating
hours of each fixture and provides
notification when light bulbs are to be
replaced.
Notification of defective lighting
Notification is sent to building mainte-
nance when a light fixture no longer
works.

Appropriate user interfaces for every
need
The best technology is useless if it is
difficult to operate. GAMMA instabus
was
conceived and designed to be so user-
friendly so that all users can quickly master
its operation. Despite its impressive range
of functions, the system is very simple
and comfortable to use: from the familiar
switches, remote controls, operating
displays, touch panels or via a central
visualization PC.
