The benefits of Champ Intelligent Lighting:

With an active Brightlayer Lighting software subscription, the Champ VMVL LED intelligent light fixture offers wireless control and insight capabilities, delivering more operational value and better total cost of ownership.

Maintain up-time and minimize maintenance costs

Running lights more than necessary shortens the life of the fixtures and drives up material and labor costs. With Champ intelligent light fixtures and Brightlayer lighting, you can optimize your system to help eliminate over-usage and double the life of your lighting fixtures.

Maximize energy savings and sustainability

You get full lighting control at your fingertips with a range of intelligent features. Eaton's intuitive Brightlayer Lighting software allows you to easily tune your light output based on space and specific usage requirements. Optimizing your lighting system through intelligent control can help reduce your energy consumption by up to 50%.

Improve safety & alarming

Champ intelligent light fixtures monitor ambient light, temperature, motion, energy consumption, and overall fixture health. Any irregularities in these factors generate feedback alarms to your team via the Brightlayer Lighting software, so you can take planned, proactive action and help maintain a safe work environment.

Designed for simplicity

Intuitive commissioning and control via the Brightlayer Lighting app provides effortless management of your lighting system. Unlike other ”connected” lighting solutions that use complex hardware and software, Brightlayer Lighting features a robust, easy to use mobile interface that connects to each Crouse-Hinds series 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

With Champ Intelligent LED light fixtures and Brightlayer Lighting, 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.

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 Lighting service plan. See below for more details.

ON/OFF and dimming

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

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.

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.

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 Brightlayer Lighting's 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.
