White Board Lighting
The research project on Retrofit Integrated Classroom Lighting System (R-ICLS) by Lighting California's Future is dedicated to developing retrofit lighting solutions for classrooms to ensure
that the luminaires, sensors, and controls work together to provide
proper lighting for General and A/V requirements together with lighting
for the white board.
Retrofit Lighting for Schools
R-ICLS will help develop and demonstrate new technologies that will give schools a "good", "better", "best" way to combine state-of-the-art luminaires, lamps, ballasts, sensors, and controls into cost-effective, retrofit system solutions.
The goal is development of an integrated system that meets CHPS and LEED standards for classroom lighting• General & AV Modes
• Whiteboard illumination
• Teacher Controls
• Integrated occupancy and daylight sensors.
Project Goals
- Deliver energy savings of 20% compared to California's Title 24 (Energy Law)
- Develop “Good”, “Better” and “Best” solutions to meet different payback requirements.
Better: Add a whiteboard luminaire to the “good” definition. Provide wall mounted and remote controls.
Best: Replace luminaires with new high performance 2x4 luminaire and add a whiteboard luminaire. Provide wall mounted and remote controls.
Finelite and the CLTC are key project members.
