the Right System
Start with the Space
You don’t need to know every protocol. Start with what you want your lighting to do, then explore the systems that make sense for your project.
Explore RF for a compatible remote and receiver, or Bluetooth for direct app-based control. For a more structured wireless lighting network, take a look at Casambi.
A starting point, not a compatibility guarantee. Match your chosen system to the actual lights, drivers and installation.
The Complete Collection
Eleven technologies. Four ways to find your fit.
01 / Flexible by Design
Intuitive room control and flexible wireless networks. Begin here when ease of use and fewer control cables matter.
Direct, Everyday Control
Radio-frequency control without line of sight: a straightforward choice for remotes, wall panels and multi-zone lighting. WiFi-enabled products or compatible gateways add app control.
Ideal For Homes, gardens and small commercial spaces.
check_circleMatch the remote and receiver family; check how WiFi is supported.
Lighting at Your Fingertips
Control compatible lighting from a phone or tablet. Bluetooth systems suit domestic and small commercial projects; mesh networking, commissioning and hub requirements depend on the product range.
Ideal For Residential rooms, small shops and app-led installations.
check_circleChoose devices supported by the same app and control system.
A More Considered Wireless System
A lighting-control ecosystem built on Bluetooth Low Energy. Use the Casambi app to commission compatible devices, create groups and recall scenes across a wireless mesh network.
Ideal For Retrofits, boutique hospitality and bespoke smart lighting.

02 / Built for Integration
From responsive colour effects to a coordinated building, put a considered control system behind every lighting decision.
Use the right control system to turn an architectural detail into part of the performance.
Precision Across the Building
Digital Addressable Lighting Interface brings two-way communication, individual addressing, grouping and precise dimming to professional lighting networks. A strong choice for managed commercial installations.
Ideal For Offices, hospitals and educational facilities.
check_circleMatch the control gear, controller and required colour-control functions.
Make Colour Perform
Professional digital control for coordinated fixtures, dynamic colour and programmed lighting scenes. Explore DMX decoders, wall panels and repeaters for stage, television and architectural RGBW installations.
Ideal For Stages, TV studios and dynamic architectural façades.
check_circlePlan the channel count, addressing and data network for your fixtures.
Straightforward Analogue Dimming
A wired analogue control method for adjusting light levels in compatible drivers. Suits straightforward commercial and industrial dimming where individual digital addressing is not required.
Ideal For Warehouses, industrial spaces and commercial lighting.
check_circleCheck 0–10V versus 1–10V compatibility, dimming range and switch-off behaviour.
Think Beyond Lighting
An established building-control standard for integrated automation. Coordinate compatible lighting, heating, ventilation and shading within a professionally specified residential or commercial system.
Ideal For Luxury homes and integrated building automation.
check_circlePlan the KNX devices, interfaces and commissioning together.
See the Possibilities
Good control gives a space more than one purpose. Create an atmosphere, support a task or make a feature stand out. Start with the experience, specify the system.
Group your lighting and recall a considered balance of brightness across the room.
CCT-compatible controls adjust the white tone of suitable tunable-white lighting.
One considered system. More ways to use the space. Scene setting and colour-temperature adjustment depend on the selected controls and compatible lighting.
Plan the Complete System03 / Made to Connect
Bring lighting into the way you live. Choose the ecosystem first, then build with devices that are designed to work together.
Part of a Smarter Home
Low-power mesh networking for connected lighting and home automation. Build scenes and sensor-led control around compatible Zigbee devices and your chosen smart home ecosystem.
Ideal For Smart homes, occupancy sensing and automated scenes.
check_circleCheck the hub, supported devices and available voice-control integrations.
Build on Your Existing Ecosystem
A wireless mesh technology designed for home automation. A useful route for residential retrofits and connected lighting when your existing control platform supports Z-Wave.
Ideal For Residential automation and wireless lighting networks.
check_circleUse devices with the correct regional frequency and hub compatibility.
A Common Language for Smart Homes
A shared smart home standard designed to connect supported devices across compatible platforms. Matter uses network technologies such as WiFi or Thread; the exact requirements depend on the device.
Ideal For Connected homes and cross-platform lighting control.
check_circleCheck the Matter controller and whether a Thread border router is required.
04 / Beyond the Room
When the project extends across a site, plan for distance as well as atmosphere. Long-range wireless can help connect distributed lighting without running a control cable to every position.
Control That Goes Further
Long-range, low-power wireless technology for lighting across larger areas. Explore compatible LoRa controls for distributed outdoor fixtures, large sites and warehouse applications.
Ideal For Campuses, agricultural sites, gardens and expansive warehouses.
check_circleRange depends on the hardware, obstructions and installation. Match the specified frequency and system.
Buildings, landscape and receiver placement all affect wireless coverage. Confirm the controller and fixture combination, then test the intended layout before committing to a large installation.
Discuss My ProjectBring It All Together
The best result comes from a complete, compatible system. Choose the interface you want to use, the electronics behind it and the light you want to create.
A wall panel, a handset or an app. Choose the way you want to adjust your lighting, then pair it with a compatible receiver or driver.
Match the protocol, LED channel arrangement and output rating. Some drivers combine power and control in one unit.
Check the light source’s voltage, total load and dimming requirements. Allow for the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
A Little Clarity
Useful things to know before choosing your LED lighting control system.
Ask Our ExpertsIt is the way control devices communicate with compatible receivers, drivers or light fittings. It determines how commands such as dimming, colour changes and scene selection reach your lighting. Choose it alongside the LED type, voltage, load and installation requirements.
Wireless control is often useful for retrofits and flexible room layouts. Wired control can suit planned commercial installations, coordinated colour systems and building automation. Both need correctly specified hardware. Wireless describes the control connection; the lighting still needs a suitable power supply.
No. RF lighting remotes usually communicate directly with a compatible receiver using a manufacturer-specific control system. WiFi products connect through a wireless network. Some product families link the two using a gateway; check the individual product specification.
DALI is designed for addressable lighting networks, including grouping, dimming and device feedback. DMX is widely used for coordinated fixture control, programmed effects and dynamic colour. Select the protocol according to the project and the functions supported by the actual control gear.
No. Some Bluetooth and RF systems allow direct local control, while many smart home functions rely on a compatible hub, gateway or controller. Matter-over-Thread devices also need a suitable Thread border router. Confirm the requirements of the selected products before ordering.
Sometimes, using an appropriate gateway or interface. Sharing a connector or operating frequency does not make two systems compatible. Tell our technical team which control platform, drivers and lighting you intend to use so they can help you check the full system.
Choose a receiver or driver that supports the LED strip’s channel arrangement: single colour, CCT, RGB, RGBW or RGB+CCT. Then check voltage, current per channel, total load and protocol compatibility. Not every controller supports every strip type.
Check the IP rating of every exposed component, the permitted installation conditions and the power-supply arrangement. For wireless systems, assess range with the actual buildings, obstructions and mounting positions. A wireless protocol alone does not make a controller weatherproof.
