Intelligent Buildings
Trojan Lighting specialises in intelligent lighting and building solutions designed to enhance efficiency, sustainability and functionality. By integrating smart controls, wireless systems like Mymesh and Casambi, and advanced sensors, our solutions go beyond lighting to create fully connected environments. These systems provide real-time data on energy use, automate emergency lighting tests, and enable features like on-demand lighting control and occupancy-based adjustments. Whether retrofitting existing infrastructure or designing new systems, Trojan delivers tailored, scalable solutions that form the backbone of smart buildings, helping clients save energy, reduce costs, and achieve their sustainability goals.
Smarter Lighting, Better Buildings
An intelligent building uses interconnected systems and IoT technology to optimise energy, enhance occupant comfort, and simplify management. At Trojan Lighting, we provide intelligent lighting solutions that go beyond illumination. Our lighting systems serve as the backbone for smart building functionality, creating efficient, adaptable, and future-ready spaces.
Trojan’s intelligent lighting solutions do more than light up spaces, they create a foundation for connected, high-performing buildings. By integrating advanced wireless controls, sensors, and data collection, our systems enable real-time monitoring and interaction with other building management systems. Whether you’re managing a single site or multiple locations, our solutions make lighting the cornerstone of your smart building network.

Intelligent buildings in action
Intelligent lighting news and case studies:
Hospital Smart Lighting
Hospitals can use intelligent lighting and sensor systems to adjust light levels based on occupancy, automate emergency lighting tests, and support patient care through human-centric lighting.
Smart Office Integration
Commercial spaces can integrate HVAC, lighting and security systems via IoT sensors, providing real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance for improved energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
Retail Adaptive Lighting
Retail spaces can employ adaptive lighting controls and environmental sensors to adjust ambiance and optimize energy use, enhancing customer experience and reducing operational costs.
Intelligent Emergency Lighting
Emergency lighting is a critical part of any building’s life safety system, providing illumination that enables safe evacuation during a mains power failure. Trojan Lighting integrates wireless emergency lighting technology to deliver systems that are compliant, intelligent, and easy to maintain. Our approach combines automated testing, live monitoring, and digital reporting to reduce maintenance workloads and improve reliability across healthcare and commercial estates.
Emergency lighting must comply with BS 5266-1, BS EN 1838, BS EN 50172, and BS EN 62034, which define the performance, duration, and testing requirements for escape route, open area, and high-risk task lighting. Traditionally, these standards have been met through manual testing and paper-based record keeping. However, manual processes are time-consuming and prone to error, often requiring site-wide inspections every month. The wireless platform replaces that manual testing with a fully automated system that performs functional and duration tests at programmed intervals.
Each intelligent luminaire includes self-test capability that runs in accordance with the relevant British Standards. The results are automatically logged and transmitted through a secure wireless mesh network. Any fault or deviation—such as battery failure, charge level issues, or lamp malfunction—is immediately identified and reported to the facilities team. This ensures full compliance with testing regulations while eliminating the need for manual intervention.
All test results are stored within a cloud-based dashboard, giving estates and maintenance teams complete visibility of their emergency lighting system. From this dashboard, users can review test histories, generate compliance reports, and schedule maintenance based on real-time data. This approach provides a robust digital audit trail, reduces the risk of missed tests, and simplifies compliance reporting during safety inspections.
Trojan Lighting designs and commissions both self-contained and central battery emergency systems, selecting the most appropriate architecture for each project. Self-contained luminaires integrate the battery and control electronics within the fitting, simplifying installation and providing local autonomy. Central battery systems, meanwhile, supply power to multiple luminaires from a single location, offering longer battery life and simplified maintenance for large or complex sites.
Trojan Lighting’s clients gain a system that not only meets statutory safety requirements but also delivers operational and financial benefits. Automated testing reduces maintenance hours, continuous monitoring supports predictive maintenance, and digital records simplify compliance management. In addition, the wireless infrastructure can be expanded to support wider building intelligence functions—such as occupancy monitoring, energy management, and indoor air quality sensors—creating a scalable, future-ready foundation for smarter buildings.
Trojan Lighting’s expertise in design, manufacturing, and commissioning ensures that every intelligent emergency lighting installation is optimised for performance, reliability, and compliance. The result is an intelligent system that provides peace of mind for building operators, reduces running costs, and delivers a measurable improvement in safety management.
