Our Platforms
Our Group offers two premier smart lighting solutions: Organic Response, tailored for indoor settings like schools, offices, and hospitals; and Capelon, designed for outdoor environments. Both systems utilize presence-based adaptation to drive significant energy savings across all applications.
Indoor lighting
Organic Response
An open intelligent solution
Organic Response is our intelligent lighting control system that achieves unprecedented energy savings at a fraction of the installation cost of traditional systems. At the heart of the system is the Sensor Node, which is integrated into each luminaire.
Based on Distributed Intelligence, it allows each individual luminaire to make lighting decisions based on the presence of occupants in its immediate vicinity, ambient light levels, and information it receives from its neighboring luminaires.
The system is plug-and-play and works offline out of the box, without commissioning. Adding a gateway enables more lighting control functionality and analytics tools. The Organic Response solution includes an online portal, but there is also an open API interface for customers to choose their own software and integrations.
Fighting complexity since 2011
Organic Response originates from a start-up formed in Melbourne 2011. It was founded to address complexities in available lighting control systems. This had become a barrier to the functionality they intended to provide.
Users were left confused with respect to the control functionality and installations required configuration by highly skilled professionals for even base-level operation. This resulted in the configuration often becoming inappropriate over time, resulting in lights burning long into the night.
Organic Response is a lighting control system designed to respond to human presence and ambient light with elegance and unparalleled simplicity – delivering excellent energy savings and occupancy comfort without a complex configuration.
Since 2017, Organic Response has been part of Fagerhult Group, supplying control systems to our Group brands.
The importance of balanced indoor light quantity
An important aspect of indoor quality is the balance between how the light quantity is distributed in a room along the walls, ceiling and floor to create a calm work environment and allow the eyes to rest. We often work with hanging solutions that include an upwardfacing luminaire that lights the ceiling to create a softer transition in the room. It is important to have the right design to minimise glare at eye level and within work spaces. Various colour temperatures can create warm light that has a soothing effect and helps people relax, or cooler light that energises and activates us.
Lighting can also be customised to follow our biological daily rhythm, which supports our well-being. An office environment or lecture hall with correctly adapted lighting can help us both to feel better and to perform at a higher level. Occupational groups, for example healthcare workers, need flexible work light depending on the tasks that need to be carried out.
Outdoor lighting
Capelon
Connected public lighting infrastructure
Capelon is Fagerhult Group’s smart outdoor lighting specialist, simplifying large-scale connectivity for streetlights and urban infrastructure. At the core is GreenStreet—a cutting-edge meshed RF communication platform, developed with world-leading experts to ensure a reliable and scalable network.
Based on open IoT integration, it allows hundreds of thousands of devices to communicate seamlessly within one managed environment, making autonomous decisions to optimize energy use and urban safety. Designed for effortless deployment, it is a plug-and-play solution requiring minimal commissioning for daily operation.
While built for long-term stability, the platform includes a powerful management portal and open APIs. This gives municipalities the flexibility to integrate their own software while benefiting from a proven, high-performance network that helps cities manage and optimize modern lighting infrastructure.
Leaders in scalable smart city connectivity
Capelon brings over 20 years of experience in device communication and advanced meter reading, with more than a decade focused on smart street lighting. Recognizing that the future of smart cities demanded greater scope and scalability than traditional powerline communication could provide, the company shifted its focus in 2016 toward larger-scale connectivity solutions.
Managing hundreds of thousands of connected devices in an urban environment requires an infrastructure that is both robust and straightforward to deploy. To overcome the maintenance and expansion barriers common in complex networks, Capelon developed an open IoT integration platform powered by cutting-edge meshed RF technology in partnership with Wirepas. The result is a globally proven solution built to streamline connectivity into a plug-and-play system that functions seamlessly right out of the box.
As part of Fagerhult Group since 2025, Capelon integrates this large-scale IoT expertise into the group's collective offering, supporting future-ready cities with reliable and adaptable smart lighting infrastructure.
Safety in focus for outdoor lighting
Outdoor lighting quality is often about creating a sense of security and increasing safety. Unnecessary traffic accidents caused by inadequate or incorrect lighting can be avoided by maintaining a high level of light quality. On footpaths and in parks, we work with light as a factor in creating well-being. The path itself, as well as the area around it, are illuminated to increase a sense of security.
In outdoor environments, it is also important to take the animal and human need for a natural circadian rhythm into consideration. By controlling outdoor lighting with sensors and control systems that adjust the light’s strength and colour temperature depending on motion, energy consumption is reduced and unnecessary light pollution is minimised.
