Lighting control for industry
and production under the GModG.

Shift patterns, machine heat, large halls: in production, control has to suit operations. We implement § 56 GModG for the lighting so that occupational safety and processes don't suffer.

Industrial buildings can exceed the GModG's 70 kW threshold because of their heating and ventilation systems. Automatic lighting control is then also due by 31 December 2029. Energy efficiency law adds further duties for many companies, and data from the lighting control helps with the evidence.

What matters in production

  • Shift work: schedules and presence work together. Idle lines and empty side areas are dimmed.
  • Sources of interference: warm air, machines and gates can mislead PIR sensors. We plan position and lens accordingly.
  • Occupational safety: control must maintain the required illuminance levels at workplaces, for example under DIN EN 12464-1. We define protected areas with you.
  • Harsh environments: the EFS106W is an IP66 variant for damp and dusty conditions.
  • Running production: we install area by area without pulling new control cables.

Data for energy management

The AU-Manager records lighting consumption per zone and passes it on to your building management system via BACnet/IP, so energy managers can see which zones stand out. Building automation for heating, ventilation and cooling remains a separate part of § 56, which we coordinate with your technical systems. See also BMS integration.

As of November 2026. General information, not legal advice. The wording of the law is what counts.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions from industry

May lighting at workplaces be dimmed?

During use, the required illuminance levels must be maintained. Control dims in unused areas and reduces artificial light when there is enough daylight. We define the details for your areas.

Does this fit our shift pattern?

Yes. Schedules set the framework and the sensors compensate for deviations. You make changes yourself via app or through our maintenance contract.

Can we feed the data into our control system?

Yes, the AU-Manager passes data on via BACnet/IP.

What does control bring if we produce around the clock?

Even then there are side areas, storage zones and daylight. The payback example shows how to work out what it means for you.
