Canadian company, 7797 Nyx Hemera Technologies, has been awarded a contract to install its tunnel lighting addressable control system (TLACS), along with Schréder’s luminaires, in the 2 km long Queens-Midtown tunnel in New York City.

The TLACS solution will aid the installation of the new tunnel lighting system since the power line communication technology used to control the luminaires does not require the installation of control wiring.
 
The TLACS’ local product controller, installed in both Schréder’s OMNIstar and LEDNova luminaires, will control the luminaires at the tunnel entrance to reduce the black whole effect. It will also control the lighting in the tunnel to achieve a safe and comfortable lumens output for drivers.

Nyx Hemera Technologies will also provide a dedicated SCADA for the lighting system to provide remote and individual control of all 2000-plus luminaires.
