Luminaire control:
Every luminaire regulates itself.

Luminaire control regulates light at the level of the individual luminaire or small groups, instead of switching entire circuits centrally. Specialists call this luminaire level lighting control, or LLLC. For operators, it means finer zones, no new control cables and changes via app.

How does it work?

• Sensor on the luminaire: it detects presence and daylight and dims the LED driver via 0-10 V or DALI.
• Wireless instead of cable: with Bluetooth mesh, luminaires pass commands on to their neighbours.
• Groups via app: zones, base light and hold times are set in the app.
• Data in the AU-Manager: occupancy and consumption come together centrally.

The guide Luminaire level lighting control explains the technology in detail.

Luminaire control or central control?

The comparison Wireless vs wired lighting control looks at the differences in more depth.

Where luminaire control pays off most

Wherever areas are used irregularly: in logistics, industry, offices and retail. As a guide from our projects, sensors alone save more than 60% of lighting electricity, and up to 75% is possible. The savings calculator works out your figures.

And the GModG?

In Germany, for non-residential buildings above the 70 kW threshold, § 56 GModG requires automatic lighting control by 31 December 2029. Luminaire control with zones and occupancy detection is a direct way to achieve this. As of November 2026. General information, not legal advice. The wording of the law is what counts.
