LeafNut is a wireless control and monitoring systemfor street and outdoor lighting, which provides userswith the ability to make savings by reducing carbonemissions and lowering energy usage.CMS Dimming Switching Scheduling Reporting Maintenance Energy MonitoringUPTO256The system uses WiMAC protocol Central ManagementSystem (CMS) technology to remotely manage andcontrol the output of individual lighting points, using acombination of GPRS and radio frequency.NODES PER BRANCHNODEBranchNodeRadio frequency (868mhz)Each lighting point can be dimmed using automaticprofiles to match the specific requirements of thesurrounding area throughout the night. At the userscommand, such as in the event of an emergency,lighting points can be brought back up to full brightnessat the touch of a button, from either a computer, laptop,tablet or smartphone.Every lighting point within the inventory is remotelymonitored, with any faults being reported to thespecified user(s) via scheduled email. Reports detailingthe energy usage of each light, or a particular group oflights, are also available.So far, LeafNut has been successfully installed by over100 organisations monitoring over 400,000 light pointsacross the world and is used to realise significant costsavings and reductions in carbon emissions.NodesNodesRemote ServerMobile connection (GSM)TrunkNodeBranchNode6NodesDrivers7
LeafNut Smart CMSLeafNut Smart CMS represents the latestadvancements in Smart City technology. The solution isalready widely used, with many applications integratedwith Asset Management Systems (AMS)and as bridgingsolutions into Building Management Systems (BMS).SensorNodeSMART CMS AMS integrations BMS Bridges Sensor inputs Traffic flowintegrations Energy monitoringThe SensorNode enables presence detection in theLeafNut Smart CMS System through a remote sensor.Ideal for a range of Smart City applications such asfootpath and cycle paths, the SensorNode automaticallyoverrides the current dimming level and brings the lightsup to full light output for a specified period of time.1A DimmingB Switching Scheduling234MoRLiCs2MoRLiCs is the latest development and allows server level integration with the UKHighways Agency Traffic Flow system. Working in tandem with LeafNut Smart CMS,the MoRLiCs system assists in adapting lighting profiles to suit changing trafficconditions and requirements. Reporting Maintenance Energy Monitoring1C31. The MoRLiCs system works by both continuously collecting real time vehicle trafficdata whilst also storing historical data from the roadside. The system combines thereal time and historical data in order to determine what light level to apply.41. Luminaire Groups with Uninodes 256 UniNodes perBranchNode2.

MoRLiCs then sends updated lighting profile instructions to the LeafNut CMS inthe cloud via a secure connection over the Internet.3. The LeafNut CMS firstly verifies and validates the instructions, only once LeafNut issatisfied that the data is correct, the CMS identifies light points are to be updated.4. New level information is sent to the units at street level and subsequently the lightoutput profile changes as determined by MoRLiCs instructions.Profiles, PIR Group Override89

Over-the-Air (OTA) update capabilities,allow the system to migrate from the WiMAC protocol toLoRa, or utilise ZigBee.The processing power is significantly enhanced versus earlier generation models,allowing for in-field processing of data and easy OTA upgrades, future proofingdemands for processing and communication with third party smart devices andsolutions.Designed from the outset with the future in mind,LeafNut Smart City provides all the flexibility of theexisting LeafNut CMS, with enhanced capabilities. Thenext generation in Smart City hardware such as theBranchNode NG and UniNode NG further enhance thesolution.At the hardware level, the UniNode NG will form an integral part of the new LeafNutSmart City architecture, incorporating GPS on board, each Node will enable theLeafNut Trunk to auto-assimilate Node location in the CMS immediately on beingpowered up.10UniNode NGThe new UniNode NG will also enable actual measured energy consumption to bemonitored using the GUI, alongside the calculated consumption offered on earliervariants through a /-2% accurate on board monitoring chip.11
The future of indoor lighting control.EyeNut - Our indoor solutionEyeNut is an innovative cloud-based, IoTenabled, remote access, wireless controlsolution for indoor lighting. It gives usersthe freedom to commission, configureand completely control their own lightingto maximise energy saving and reducecarbon emissions.The system’s emergency functionalityprovides additional benefits, eradicatingthe requirement for monthly emergencyon-site tests. Users are able to set upautomatic scheduling of functionaland duration tests and export resultsto external systems for audit tracking.Emergency luminaires are enabled forauto-testing using the new EyeNutEmergency Interface Adaptor.Early generation lighting controlsprovided energy savings but were difficultand expensive to fit retrospectively,requiring specialist engineers. Onceinstalled, they were difficult to alter andnot well suited to respond to changingoccupancy patterns in buildings. EyeNuteliminates these problems.EyeNut enabled luminairesSensorsUPTOEyeNut enabled drivers and adaptorswith emergency functionalityEYENUTDEVICESZigBee 2.4GHzEyeNut continues to be at theforefront of the industry with the latestupdates including emergency testingfunctionality and BMS integration.Future developments include EyeNutAir; allowing for combined indoor andoutdoor control on the same system.Installation and initial configuration issimple and controls can be altered at thetouch of a button to meet a building’schanging needs.

LeafNut Westminster case studyRolled out across Westminster’s 15,000 streetlights, with over 100 BranchNodes currentlyinstalled controlling the whole borough.“Harvard’s LeafNut system is enablingWestminster to transform the public lightingservice. The City Council now has a dynamic,interactive lighting solution suitable for therequirements of one of the world’s mostdemanding city’s.The potential to reduce light output by 25%during off peak times where there is little activity.The ability to monitor and control Lighting fromCCTV control centre or the Police reports. Iflevels are too low managers will be immediatelyalerted.A system that not only meets our currentdemands, but will be able to adapt to futurechallenges. The ‘end to end’ solution providedby LeafNut promotes a two way dialogueensuring that our needs are met and anyconcerns are addressed directly, with theirongoing support that is seen as a significantbenefit.”Harvard’s engineers are constantly workingalongside Westminster’s street lightingengineers to ensure smooth running of thesystem.The installation of LeafNut is expected to saveWestminster City Council an estimated 20million over an anticipated 20 year product lifecycle.Dave Franks,chief lighting engineer at Westminster City CouncilLeafNut is perfect for Car ParksLocal Authorities14
