Optimize Lighting and Monitor Environments with the Browan LoRaWAN® Ambient Light Sensor

Accurately measure indoor light levels with the Browan Ambient Light Sensor (TBAM100). This compact LoRaWAN® sensor provides precise measurements of ambient light intensity, closely matching the human eye’s response across a wide dynamic range (0.01 to 39K lux). Ideal for applications such as smart lighting control, energy efficiency optimization, workspace condition monitoring, and ensuring appropriate light levels for specific tasks or processes within industrial and commercial facilities. Manusphere can help you integrate this sensor to achieve smarter, more efficient lighting and environmental control.

Leveraging Light Data in Industrial Settings

Ambient light levels significantly impact energy consumption, productivity, and safety. The TBAM100 sensor provides the data needed to manage light effectively:

• Challenge: Optimizing energy usage by adjusting artificial lighting based on available natural light.
• Solution: Delivers accurate, real-time ambient light measurements (lux levels) via LoRaWAN®, enabling automated lighting systems to dim or switch off lights when sufficient daylight is present, reducing energy costs.

• Challenge: Ensuring adequate and consistent lighting levels required for specific manufacturing tasks, quality control inspections, or general workplace safety compliance.
• Solution: Features a high-resolution optical sensor (16-20 bits) with a linear response across a wide dynamic range (0.01 to 39K lux), providing reliable data to verify and maintain required illumination levels.

• Challenge: Monitoring light exposure in storage areas or labs where materials or processes might be light-sensitive.
• Solution: Allows for continuous monitoring of light intensity, triggering alerts or logging data if levels exceed predefined thresholds for sensitive environments.

• Challenge: Deploying light sensors easily in various indoor locations without wiring constraints.
• Solution: Compact, lightweight design powered by a single ½ AA Li-SOCl2 battery with up to 16 months of estimated lifetime (*dependent on reporting frequency and environment), communicating wirelessly via LoRaWAN®.

Key Features & Benefits for Smart Facilities

Accurate Light Measurement

Equipped with an optical sensor (LTR-F216A) designed to mimic the human eye’s spectral response, providing meaningful lux measurements across a broad range from very dim to bright indoor conditions (0.01 to 39K lux).

High Resolution & Wide Dynamic Range

With 16 to 20 bits of measurement resolution, the sensor captures subtle changes in light intensity, offering precise data for fine-tuned control systems or detailed monitoring.

LoRaWAN® Connectivity

Utilizes the LoRaWAN® 1.0.3 standard for reliable, long-range, low-power wireless data transmission, ensuring seamless integration into your existing or new IoT network (EU & US frequencies supported).

Long Battery Life & Compact Design

Operates for up to 16 months* on a single ½ AA battery, minimizing maintenance. Its small footprint (50x50x20mm) allows for discreet placement wherever light monitoring is needed.

Robust for Indoor Environments

Designed for typical indoor conditions with an operating temperature range of 0°C to 50°C and an IP40 equivalent environmental rating.
