Commissioning
- Identifies the end-user's requirements
- Fine tunes the luminaire settings
- Minimises energy consumption
- Increases savings for the end user
Pre-Commissioning Check Lists
To book commissioning for the Thorlux system at your site please download the relevant pdf below. You will then be able to submit the check list via email once complete.
Thorlux Lighting designs, manufactures and supplies the most energy efficient lighting systems on the market. Most Thorlux products can be used straight from the box with their default settings. However, to operate most effectively products need to be configured to the conditions on site. Thorlux has a team of skilled commissioning engineers who can visit your site and configure your lighting installation upon request.
Benefits of commissioning
Using an example project the energy reductions below show what can be achieved when luminaires are commissioned:

The engineers are able to respond to the varied and sometimes sensitive needs required when working on customers’ sites.
Commissioning Luminaire Controls
These are the variables that can be fine tuned with Thorlux Smart luminaires during commissioning:
- Light levels
- Time-out periods
- Security level and if vacant timeout
- Scenes (Smart only)
- SmartScan - grouped presence detection and scene control
Commissioning SmartScan Emergency
The benefits of commissioning SmartScan Emergency systems:
- Off-site monitoring via the SmartScan website
- Provides compliance with BS EN 50172:2004
- Automatic email configuration
- Marked up drawings with luminaire location details
- All emergency luminaires are checked to ensure batteries and lamps have been tested and their self-commissioning process has been successful.
- All luminaires are checked to ensure wireless communication
Commissioning Scanlight AT
The benefits of commissioning Scanlight AT systems:
- Off-site monitoring via the Scanlight AT website
- Provides compliance with BS EN 50172:2004
- Automatic e configuration
- Marked up drawings with luminaire location details
- All emergency luminaires are checked to ensure batteries and lamps have been tested and their self-commissioning process has been successful.
- Electrical checks are also conducted to ensure that communications systems are fully operational and secure
User Training
During or after handover of the lighting systems to the client, Thorlux can train facility personnel on the proper operation and maintenance of the lighting and the control system. Trained staff who fully understand the controls are less likely to attempt to override or bypass the system.
Benefits of Commissioning - The Details
Energy and operating costs are reduced as a result of fine-tuning. The cost benefits of commissioning continue for many years, whereas implementing the commissioning process is a one-time cost.
After commissioning to fine-tune the light levels in the example below, the savings increased to 73%. This equated to a saving of £20,000 per annum.
