Why Smart Lighting Matters to FM Teams
Facilities Management isn’t just about keeping the lights on, it’s about delivering operational efficiency, safety and compliance while reducing cost and carbon. Lighting is often one of the biggest energy users in a building, but it’s also one of the easiest to improve.
Smart lighting upgrades can offer immediate returns and long-term benefits without major infrastructure changes. Whether you’re managing hospitals, warehouses, office blocks or educational estates, smart lighting gives you more control and less hassle.
What is Smart Lighting?
Smart lighting systems combine energy-efficient LED luminaires with integrated sensors, controls, and data connectivity. These systems automatically adjust based on occupancy, ambient light, time schedules, or manual inputs.
Key Components:
LED Luminaires: Long-life, low-energy fittings
Sensors: Occupancy (PIR), daylight, emergency self-test
Wireless Networks: Like Mymesh, for instant communication between fittings
Dashboards & Interfaces: For monitoring, control, and diagnostics
This connected system makes it easier to operate, maintain, and optimise your lighting — all while driving down running costs.
