Sinclair Digital Previews AGILE-CORE™, the Most Energy Efficient DC Connected Lighting System

LAS VEGAS, June 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Sinclair Digital is pleased to announce AGILE-CORE™, the first all-direct current (DC) connected lighting system that provides the highest energy efficiency and offers a total cost of ownership comparable to alternating current (AC) line voltage lighting for warehouses, big box stores, and other building types. The company will preview its AGILE-CORE™  system at Realcomm 2023, June 13-15 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and at the NECA/BICSI Summit, June 26-28 at the Denver Grand Hyatt.

AGILE-CORE™ is a system of modular, plug-and-play solutions for lighting and IT-based digital connectivity that combines innovative Fault Managed Power, Power over Ethernet (PoE), and Luum.io's extended PoE (X-PoE^®) technology to safely and cost-effectively deliver power and data over longer distances using low-voltage wiring methodologies. The system offers per-port granular energy reporting, reduces maintenance with fewer failure points, and uses less copper and rare-earth materials than traditional AC line voltage lighting systems.

The AGILE-CORE™ system features a Fault Managed Power distribution system that remotely powers Luum network switches that either delivers standard IEEE 802.3bt PoE to connected devices or identifies a passive X-PoE^® connector to provide 120W of power per Luum X-PoE^® port without the need for an external device driver. The system comprises a rack-based headend for power transmission and centralized control along with one or more remote Building Infrastructure Termination System (BITS™) compact racks. 

BITS™ racks terminate low-voltage cabling infrastructure for lighting and other IT devices (e.g., surveillance cameras, wireless access points). Each BITS™ rack supports high-bay lighting for approximately 10,000 square feet of space. High-bay lights directly connected via X-PoE^® connectors are controlled internally by the network switch to enable typical lighting control functions (on/off/dim) per channel. Depending on the wattage of a fixture, one or more lights connected to a switch's X-PoE^® port can be daisy-chained to fully utilize the per port power budget.

Sinclair Digital and Luum are working together with several lighting manufacturers to produce 25,000-lumen high-bay light fixtures that can be powered and controlled from a single X-PoE^® switch port, providing a high-bay fixture efficiency of 218.2 lm/W. A total system efficiency of approximately 95% is possible. As a value-added reseller with expertise in design/build installations, Sinclair Digital will provide packaged AGILE-CORE™ systems to electrical contractors, lighting agents, and specifiers.

For preview demonstrations of AGILE-CORE™ with Luum X-PoE^® technology for high-bay lighting, visit Sinclair Digital at Booth 537 at Realcomm 2023, June 14-15 in Las Vegas, or at Table 10/11 at the BICSI/NECA Summit, June 26-28 in Denver.
