ActiveAhead
ActiveAhead is an intelligent lighting control system that adjusts the light based on how people actually move within an area. The system combines motion detection with built‑in intelligence that gradually optimizes the light output for increased comfort, safety, and energy efficiency.
At Aura Light, you will find luminaires and solutions featuring ActiveAhead, developed for professional environments where functionality and sustainability are key priorities
From motion detection to intelligent light control
When the sensors detect movement, the lighting in the area is automatically switched on. Even at this stage, the system contributes to energy-efficient operation by ensuring that lighting is only used when someone is actually present.
Over time, the functionality evolves far beyond simple on/off control. ActiveAhead analyzes movement over time and begins to identify patterns in how the space is used. The system thereby builds an understanding of when, where, and how people typically move within the area.
Forward-looking lighting that creates a natural flow
Once the system has learned the movement patterns, the lighting can be controlled in a more predictive manner. Instead of merely reacting at the moment someone passes by, the light is prepared along the route as the person moves forward. The luminaires work together to create a soft, continuous flow of light along, for example, a walkway, corridor, or loop.
This means that the light no longer switches on suddenly and in isolated points, but instead responds gradually and smoothly. The result is a more comfortable lighting experience that feels natural and welcoming, while also reducing the risk of disruptive or glaring light changes.
Energy-efficient lighting with a long lifespan
Because ActiveAhead adapts both when and how much light is used, energy consumption can be significantly reduced compared to lighting that remains on continuously. When an area is unoccupied, the light is dimmed or switched off entirely, and the appropriate light level is only activated when needed. This demand-driven functionality also contributes to a longer service life for the luminaires and a more sustainable lighting system over time.
Easy to install with scalable functionality
The system is integrated into the luminaires and requires no external control equipment or communication between master units. Each luminaire operates independently, making installation straightforward and the solution easy to expand when needed. This makes ActiveAhead a flexible option for both new installations and upgrades of existing lighting systems.
ActiveAhead for modern workplaces and industrial facilities
ActiveAhead is a smart choice for companies and organizations that want full control over their lighting without complicated settings. The solution is particularly well suited for industrial and warehouse areas, logistics environments, properties, and other professional spaces where lighting needs to be available when required, but not left on unnecessarily. With ActiveAhead, you get lighting that automatically adapts to how the space is used and creates a safer environment for both employees and visitors. At the same time, energy consumption and operating costs are reduced, making the solution both cost-effective and sustainable in the long term. ActiveAhead is an investment in modern, intelligent lighting that delivers added value from day one.
