Any facility.
Complete intelligence.
How it works
How your lighting connects and responds
Connect every lighting vendor to one layer
Bring existing fixtures into one control layer through exclusive APIs and open protocols. Wired or wireless, access every light in one place.
Control zones, scenes, and occupancy modes
Seamlessly apply scene presets for focused work or open collaboration. Assign schedules and let occupancy sensors adjust output intuitively.
Lighting Control
Send signals across your entire ecosystem
Your lighting management system feeds data into HVAC, desk booking, and energy analytics. When occupancy drops, cooling and lighting adjust together.
Key Benefits
What lighting management delivers
Your facility likely runs lighting from multiple vendors, each with its own dashboard. A lighting management system above that hardware brings occupancy based lighting control, verified savings, and building lighting automation.
Every lighting vendor on one dashboard
Most buildings run lighting from separate vendor dashboards. A unified control layer brings every fixture and schedule into one view, so your team manages lighting from a single place.
Automation shaped by actual occupancy
Desk bookings and sensors feed occupancy signals into lighting zones. Spaces dim when empty and pre-condition before arrivals. Your lighting responds to real patterns, not fixed timers.
Energy savings your reports can prove
Track lighting power density by floor, zone, and time period. Compare baselines against actuals with compliance-ready analytics for various audits. Speak to our team to learn more.
Lighting that adapts to flexible work
In a hybrid workplace, occupancy patterns shift week to week and lighting schedules follow. Zones scale back on light days and ramp when floors fill. Efficiency grows without adding staff.
Occupancy insights for space planning
Every lit zone becomes a data point. Aggregate occupancy across floors to spot utilization trends, underused spaces, and align lighting and HVAC schedules to how teams actually work.
Everything in a lighting management system
Scheduling, scenes, and daylight response are expected. The difference is cross-system intelligence that connects your lighting to the rest of your building.
Zone and fixture control
Assign schedules, dimming levels, and occupancy modes at the zone or individual fixture level across floors.
Scene and profile presets
Choose presentation, cinematic, or custom profiles per zone. Switch scenes from the dashboard or on occupancy.
Reserved-room control
Whoever books a meeting room controls its lighting during the booking window. Shared rooms stay on policy.
Schedule-based automation
Set time-based or calendar-driven rules by zone, floor, or tag. Teams create their own schedules post-deployment.
Vendor-agnostic platform
Smart lighting control software that manages wired, wireless, and dimmable lighting of any brand through one interface.
Cross-system intelligence
Occupancy based lighting control feeds HVAC scheduling, desk booking, and energy analytics. Systems respond as one.

Value by Role
Value for every stakeholder
Lighting operations touch every role in your facility. The teams coordinating schedules across floors, the people tracking energy against baselines, and leaders balancing operational cost with comfort.
Unified vendor oversight
For your facilities team
Every lighting system across vendor on one dashboard. Schedules, scenes, and occupancy rules apply across all fixtures, so your team manages the full deployment from one view.
Verified energy outcomes
For energy and compliance
Track lighting power density by floor and zone. Compare baselines against actuals with reporting built for industry leading audits and compliance, so your energy savings come with added benefits.
Unified portfolio command
For operations leadership
Operations teams govern the full lighting portfolio from one interface. Schedules, faults, and utilization unified across every floor, every vendor.
Integrations
Lighting that works across systems
Wired Controls
Connect DALI-2 and fixtures through exclusive APIs and open protocol drivers into one layer.
Wireless Controls
Bluetooth Mesh and wireless RF lights join the platform without new cabling. Retrofit-ready.
BMS
Communicates with building controllers through BACnet and Modbus for centralized lighting.
HVAC Control
Lighting and HVAC harmonize when occupancy from lighting zones trigger HVAC automations.
Desk Booking
Desk reservations pre-condition lighting zones before arrival. No bookings stay dimmed.
Meeting Room

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a lighting control system?
A lighting control system manages how luminaires operate across a building. It coordinates dimming, scheduling, occupancy sensing, and daylight response from a central interface. Systems range from standalone wall switches to networked platforms governing thousands of fixtures.
What are the different types of lighting control systems?
Lighting control systems fall into four tiers. Standalone controls use wall switches and sensors. Networked systems connect devices through a central controller. Luminaire-level control embeds sensors in each fixture. Platform systems unify vendors and protocols under one layer.
What is a networked lighting control system?
A networked lighting control system connects fixtures and sensors through a shared layer, typically DALI or wireless mesh. This enables centralized scheduling, occupancy automation, and energy monitoring from one interface. Operators gain visibility across all floors and zones.
What is the difference between DALI and BACnet lighting control?
DALI is a digital protocol for fixture-level control, addressing up to 64 devices per bus. BACnet is a building-wide protocol connecting subsystems like HVAC and lighting. DALI handles the fixture layer while BACnet integrates lighting into broader building operations.
How does occupancy-based lighting control work?
Occupancy-based lighting uses sensors to detect whether a space is in use. When a zone registers as vacant, the system dims or switches off fixtures after a set timeout. Some platforms supplement sensors with desk booking and meeting room schedules for earlier response.
How much energy do lighting controls save in commercial buildings?
Lighting controls reduce energy through occupancy sensing, daylight harvesting, and scheduling. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that networked controls cut lighting energy use by 40 to 60 percent versus fixed schedules. Savings vary by space type and occupancy patterns.
How does Bluecoin unify lighting across multiple vendors?
Bluecoin is a software layer above your lighting hardware. Whether a floor runs Lutron, Signify, Dynalite, Casambi, or Zen Control, schedules, scenes, and occupancy rules apply from one dashboard. Teams manage every vendor from a single interface.
How does Bluecoin use occupancy data for space planning and energy?
Every lit zone becomes a data point. Bluecoin aggregates occupancy from lighting, desk bookings, and sensors to show how floors are used over time. Teams spot underused spaces, right-size workstations, and align lighting and HVAC schedules with real usage.
What alerts does Bluecoin send when a lighting fault occurs?
Bluecoin monitors controllers, drivers, and network devices continuously. Offline devices, driver failures, and dimming anomalies trigger alerts in the Apptimus dashboard and mobile app. Teams see faults on interactive floor plans and fix them fast.
