Schools & Universities

Lightcloud is uniquely capable of meeting the needs of modern education facilities of all sizes.

Flexibility

Educational facilities come in a large variety of sizes and types, and each have unique control requirements. Lightcloud’s wireless controls making controlling and upgrading your lighting easy!

Parking Lots and Walkways have devices spread over long distances with lots of natural light. Lightcloud devices communicate up to 1000′ apart and can make sure lights lights are only on when they need to be.

Classrooms are one of the most dynamic lighting environments. For presentations, lights need to be one way. For tests, they need to be another. When sun pours in through the windows, lights need to adapt. When classrooms are empty, the lights should be off. Lightcloud makes managing all these complicated settings easy!

Hallways and Common Areas need to be lit during school hours with manual or sensor controls for after-hour cleaning. Lightcloud allows for not only Zone schedules but also sensor schedules, so functionality can change throughout the day.

Multiple Buildings or Locations

Educational facilities are often made up of several different space types across multiple buildings that are sometimes spread over very large distances. Lightcloud devices can communicate up to 1000′ outdoors and repeat the signal for near limitless distances. Gateways don’t require any network wires to communicate with each other, and everything is synchronized in the cloud over an integrated cellular connection.

If you have multiple locations, Lightcloud gives you complete visibility of all of your sites from the web App. This is great for facility managers that work out out of a central office enabling them to turn on lights or update schedules from anywhere. Administrators can even grant temporary access to coaches and instructors for sporting events or after-school programs.

Scalability

Lightcloud is perfect for schools large and small and can be installed in a single area or the entire facility. As needs change or the business grows, Lightcloud can change with them. It’s easy to reconfigure devices or add on to the system at a later time. All of the settings are updated remotely, so there’s no re-wiring or dip switches. These changes are all assisted by Lightcloud Support.

Support: Every Lightcloud system includes 10 years of concierge service, which includes remote support, diagnostics, and recommissioning. That means if at any point during those 10 years a customer wants to make changes or get support for the system, customers can call 1.844.Lightcloud, and Lightcloud Support will make the changes remotely.

Powerful Features
