LMS – Scorpions Services-Contracting Solutions

Intelligent Lighting Management System {LMS}

Scorpions Services proposes a unified Lighting Management System that turns lighting from a set of fixed electrical circuits into a responsive, measurable and centrally managed building service. The platform connects luminaires, LED drivers, sensors, wall controls, control panels, gateways, meters and software across internal spaces, exterior areas, covered parking and open-air parking.

Design objective: the correct light, in the correct area, at the correct time and level, while maintaining safety, comfort, flexibility and measurable energy performance.

Inside the building

LED panels, downlights, linear lights
Corridors, stairs, lobbies, amenities
Offices, meeting, retail, service areas
Occupancy, daylight and wall controls
Dimming, scenes, schedules, local override

Outside the building

Façade, canopy, entrance, signage
Landscape, pathway, bollards, floodlights
Perimeter and security lighting
Astronomical clock and photocell
Weatherproof controllers and cabinets

Covered / indoor parking

Bay, aisle, ramp, pedestrian lighting
Entrance, exit, payment zones
Occupancy zoning, directional logic
CO/NO2 and ventilation coordination
Emergency-light monitoring interface

Open-air parking

Pole, mast, canopy, solar-ready lights
Drive lanes, bays, pedestrian crossings
EV charging and bus/taxi zones
Photocell, schedule, motion boost
Cabinet metering and fault alarms

Core Capabilities

Central graphical monitoring and control by building, floor, room, parking zone, façade and outdoor area
Automatic control by occupancy, daylight, schedules, astronomical clock, scenes and BMS/EMS signals
Individual, group, zone or circuit-level control
Alarm, failure and communications monitoring; runtime, energy and trend reports
Open integration: DALI-2, KNX, BACnet/IP, Modbus, MQTT/REST/API, dry contacts
Scalable for future floors, buildings, luminaires and parking extensions

Control Hierarchy

Management: server, web and mobile clients, dashboards, reports
Supervisory: automation server, IP controllers, BMS/EMS gateways
Area / panel: DALI routers, KNX actuators, relay/dimmer panels
Field: luminaires, drivers, sensors, keypads, meters, contacts

Critical schedules and area control continue locally if the head-end server or network is unavailable.

Intelligent Sequences of Operation

Strategy	Sequence
Occupancy control	Auto-on, manual-on or vacancy control; adjustable timeout; neighboring-zone pre-lighting
Daylight harvesting	Continuous dimming of perimeter groups to an approved target, with deadband and slow fade
Scheduling	Weekday, weekend, holiday, event and seasonal calendars with timed after-hours extension
Scene control	Named scenes: work, presentation, welcome, retail, façade, night, cleaning, security
Astronomical control	Sunrise/sunset with seasonal offset and photocell validation for exterior lighting
Parking logic	Background level plus motion boost, directional pre-light, security minimum
Demand response	Reduces non-critical lighting by approved percentages while preserving safety
Fault response	Alarms for missing device, driver failure, bus fault, panel trip; local fallback schedule

Lighting controls do not replace electrical protection, fire alarm, emergency lighting or other certified life-safety functions. Required emergency illumination remains independent of normal LMS control.

Connected Equipment

Addressable LED luminaires and DALI-2 drivers
Relay/contactor modules, phase-cut and 0–10 V dimmers
Occupancy and daylight sensors, wall stations and keypads
Energy meters and lighting control panels
DALI routers; KNX, BACnet and Modbus gateways
Server, workstation, web client and managed network equipment
Emergency-light monitoring interface (where approved)

Integration & Cybersecurity

Data exchange with BMS, EMS, access control, VMS/security, AV/room booking, parking and weather systems
Role-based access, unique accounts, least privilege
Encrypted remote access/VPN, VLAN segmentation, firewall rules
Backups, audit logs, patching and hardening

Monitoring, Alarms & Energy

Campus, floor-plan, room and parking-zone dashboards
Energy by building, floor, tenant, parking, exterior and panel
Four alarm priorities: critical, high, medium, advisory
Reports: kWh, kW demand, estimated savings, device availability, override duration
Role-based web and mobile access with multi-language labels

Engineering, Installation & Commissioning

Survey and design basis
Detailed engineering: points list, I/O schedule, sequences
Supply, installation and programming
Testing, commissioning and acceptance
Handover: as-builts, manuals, training, maintenance plan
Ongoing support and optimization

Client Benefits

Lower energy use	Occupancy, daylight, schedules, dimming and demand response cut avoidable consumption
Better experience	Consistent illumination, intuitive scenes and local control
Safer operation	Background levels, pre-lighting, fault alarms and monitored emergency interfaces
Reduced maintenance	Diagnostics and failure reports help locate faults and plan work
One operating view	Building, exterior and parking lighting from a common interface
Future-ready	Open protocols and modular panels support new areas and integrations
