Knowledge throws light on new ways.


We rely on research when developing new lighting solutions that benefit our three focus areas: people’s quality of life, our society and the environment. Science is a constant source of inspiration when creating ever more user-friendly, intelligent solutions.

This is smart lighting

Lighting accounts for up to 15 per cent of global electricity consumption and by using the latest smart lighting solutions, we can potentially reduce energy consumption by up to 90 per cent. Smart lighting is therefore an important part of our current and future offering. 

This means we can reduce both the environmental impact of our solutions and the cost for our customers. In addition, connected solutions create new business opportunities and are gaining significant interest from the market. Sensor data gathering and integration into larger systems open up new partnerships that can generate new business for us, but more importantly, more value for our customers.

The right light in the right place

Our brands constantly strive to create and develop innovative lighting solutions that go above and beyond our customers’ requirements. Exchanging ideas and new knowledge drives us forward, step by step, and we use the latest research findings in our product development. We also participate in highlighting new results and ground-breaking discoveries through collaborations with the academic world.

All our brands develop high-quality lighting solutions that focus on people who move through, spend time, work and live in the areas illuminated by our products. Factors such as a light quantity, direction, colour temperature, colour rendering and glare allow us to control the quality of light environments.

Smart lighting creates new added values

The rapid technological development provides new digital solutions for smart lighting, where lighting becomes part of a connected ecosystem. This leads to better light environments and new added value together with partners while we can simultaneously provide significant energy savings and reduce the carbon footprint.

Sensors in each luminaire allow us to create a granular network of data points that can be used to offer new services, for example adapting lighting according to outdoor weather, or adjusting ventilation based on how many people are in a room.

A smart light is a sustainable light

The rapid technological development provides new digital solutions for smart lighting, where lighting becomes part of a connected ecosystem. This leads to better light environments, significant energy savings and reduced carbon footprint. In fact, 90% can be saved by replacing a traditionell fluorescent light with a smart light. Moreover, smart lighting systems facilitate a circular economy. By tracking the usage duration and intensity of each luminaire, it enables proactive assessment of their condition, facilitating timely preventive maintenance or replacement.

New service opportunities

Smart lighting solutions provide opportunities to add on services enhancing the user experience and creating valuable insights. With a sensor in each light our smart lighting system creates a granular network of data points. Data that can be used by other parties to create added value to our customers. For example, indoor navigation helping students to find their way around a campus or allowing the facility manager to understand how a space in the building is being utilized. In an outdoor environment the smart lighting system can for example be used for leading a crowd in the right direction at an event.

Future-proofing real estate with the revised EPBD

The revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) marks a shift toward mandatory, real-time energy monitoring. Smart lighting is a key enabler for this compliance, using sensor-equipped luminaires to capture and share data. This provides two essential functions: automated lighting control to meet strict efficiency targets, and the collection of granular sensor data required for the directive’s high-level energy reporting and smart readiness standards.

Our technical solution - an open echo system

Fagerhult Group offers two leading smart lighting solutions: Organic Response for indoor environments such as schools, offices, and hospitals, and Capelon for outdoor applications. Both systems are built on the principle of occupancy-based lighting—adapting to actual needs in real-time. This approach ensures that light is only used when and where it's needed, driving significant energy savings across all environments.

Fagerhult Experience Center

At Fagerhult Group, we always strive to add value, foster dialogue, and provide inspiration for high-quality lighting environments designed for people. As a testament to this commitment, our brand Fagerhult opened a unique Experience Centre in Habo in 2022—a flagship destination defined by knowledge and interactivity.

This center is built upon Fagerhult’s comprehensive expertise and serves as a hub for education on the importance of "the right light in the right place." We have created a collaborative space where visitors can experience, test, and investigate every dimension of light. Our goal is to provide deep insights and inspiration, ensuring that every guest leaves with new ideas and a clear understanding of light’s potential.

7 reasons for smart lighting

Lighting that responds to its users, turns on when you are actually there, adopts to the daylight  conditions and even identifies its own maintenance needs? It might once have felt like a luxury, but  the benefits of smart lighting include better health, more efficiency, lower costs and environmental  wins too. 

In fact, it’s not just a nice-to-have – it’s an imperative for any business, real estate company,  municipality or city looking to futureproof their premises, meet sustainability targets and integrate  with other systems to offer new services to tenants and citizens.
