Connected Lighting

Connected lighting systems and controls for smarter buildings and cities

Light beyond illumination

For centuries, lighting has helped people see, work and move safely through their environments. Today, it can do much more.

 

Connected lighting systems are intelligent systems that connect luminaires, sensors, lighting controls, software and services to transform lighting infrastructure into a source of intelligence - delivering automation, analytics and actionable insights that go far beyond illumination.

 

Whether enhancing wellbeing in workplaces, improving safety in public spaces, creating memorable experiences in retail, hospitality and sports venues, or helping organizations operate more sustainably, connected lighting unlocks value across every environment.

 

By integrating with wider building and city systems through an open architecture, it creates smarter, more connected spaces that are scalable and future-ready.

How do connected lighting systems work?

Connected lighting brings together intelligent luminaires, wireless lighting controllers, occupancy and daylight sensors, software and services to form an intelligent lighting infrastructure that enables automation, insights and smarter decision-making. Cloud connectivity and IoT applications provide real-time monitoring, while open integration supports building and city systems.

How connected ligting works
  1. Luminaires and sensors: Intelligent luminaires and occupancy and daylight sensors collect information about space use, available daylight and system performance.
  2. Network: Wired or wireless lighting controllers securely connect devices and transmit data across the lighting infrastructure.
  3. Software: Cloud-connected software enables remote monitoring, automation, analytics and control of individual light points or entire sites.
  4. Integrations: Open architecture connects the lighting system with building management, workplace and city systems.
  5. Services: Professional, lifecycle and managed services support design, deployment, maintenance and continuous optimization.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is connected lighting?

Connected lighting combines intelligent luminaires, sensors, software and services into one lighting infrastructure. This infrastructure delivers automation, analytics and actionable insights beyond illumination. The system integrates with wider building and city systems, which supports wellbeing in workplaces, safety in public spaces and sustainability goals. Signify offers connected lighting systems for both indoor luminaires and outdoor luminaires installations.

What are the core benefits of connected lighting?

Connected lighting delivers three core benefits: - Sustainability: up to 80% energy savings compared with conventional lighting, longer asset life, a lower carbon footprint and support for ESG goals. - Well-being and experience: engaging, adaptive environments, improved comfort and greater reliability and safety. - Operational efficiency: lighting schedules and controls, remote light asset management and data that supports smarter business decisions.

Which Signify connected lighting systems are available for intelligent buildings?

Three systems serve projects for commercial and public buildings: - Signify Interact: a data-driven system offering remote monitoring and control, luminaire-based sensing, data-driven insights and integration with building systems. - Signify Dynalite: sports venues, transport hubs and public infrastructure. - Color Kinetics: adds dynamic colour and lighting effects to illuminate landmarks, sports areas and public spaces, and to create memorable visitor experiences.

Which connected lighting systems are available for outdoor spaces?

Two systems serve outdoor projects: - Signify Interact: provides remote monitoring and control, adaptive lighting and automation, real-time data and analytics, and integration with city systems. It is typically used across road and street and public infrastructure. - Color Kinetics: adds dynamic colour and lighting effects to illuminate landmarks and public spaces and to create memorable visitor experiences.

How do I choose between Interact, Dynalite and Color Kinetics for my building?

Choose based on the project's primary objective: - Interact suits data-driven monitoring, sensing and asset management. - Dynalite suits advanced scene and space control, and it integrates with many industry protocols and building services. - Color Kinetics suits dynamic, experiential and architectural colour effects. Signify provides a system and services comparison, and Professional Services can assess the infrastructure and define project objectives before you commit to a platform.

Do connected indoor luminaires support DALI dimming and Interact integration?

Yes. Many Signify indoor luminaires are DALI-dimmable through a control system, which relies on a suitable (DALI) driver in the luminaire. D4i and DALI-2 variants suit sensor-on-driver and asset-reporting use cases. Interact-Ready luminaires connect wirelessly to the Interact platform without DALI bus wiring. Signify lighting controls cover additional control options.

How is connected outdoor lighting controlled compared with indoor lighting?

At Signify, indoor and outdoor lighting are both connected and software-managed, but each is controlled in a way that fits its environment. Indoor connected lighting is controlled within a building and responds to the people using each space. Signify Interact for Intelligent Buildings and Signify Dynalite systems manage lighting in real time using occupancy and daylight sensing, scenes and schedules, while Color Kinetics adds dynamic, color-changing lighting for buildings. Outdoor connected lighting is managed remotely and at scale. Signify Interact for Outdoor Spaces connects luminaires on roads, streets and public areas to one cloud-based platform for dimming, fault detection and energy monitoring, and Color Kinetics provides architectural lighting for public venues and sports areas. Combined with Signify Interact, Color Kinetics lets operators control architectural light shows on landmarks and facades from anywhere.

What services support a connected lighting installation?

Three service lines support an installation: - Professional Services: assess infrastructure, design lighting strategies, and support deployment, commissioning and integration. - Lifecycle Services: cover extended warranty and replacement, remote diagnostics, training and Service tag digital asset management. - Managed Services: provide KPI-based monitoring and optimization. Warranty terms vary by country, so confirm the conditions for your market with the local Signify representative or authorised partner. For more details, please visit Signify services.

What is Light as a Service (LaaS)?

Light as a Service (LaaS) is part of Signify’s Managed Services. You pay for the light, not the lighting system: instead of an upfront investment, you pay a monthly fee and Signify handles design, installation, operation and maintenance. This turns lighting CAPEX into OPEX, so you start saving energy and cash from day one. Signify monitors and optimizes the system throughout the contract and guarantees light and energy performance against pre-agreed KPIs.

How do I start a connected lighting project with Signify?

Start through Signify's Contact Us route or an authorised partner. Signify has local expertise and support in more than 70 countries and acts as a one-stop shop for lighting, systems and services. Professional Services begin by evaluating your infrastructure and defining objectives. To explore compatible luminaires, browse the professional lighting products portfolio.

Where can I find country-specific regulations and compliance requirements for these products?

This is Signify's global product page. Regulatory requirements vary by market and are not covered here. Examples include the EU EcoDesign Directive and the Single Lighting Regulation (EU) 2019/2020. To find regulatory and compliance information for your installation, visit Signify's website for your country via the country selector.
