LIGHTING CONTROL
Lighting Control -Smart, efficient & sustainable
For over 25 years, mySmart has delivered innovative lighting control solutions across Australia. We know that effective lighting does more than just brighten a space – it creates environments that are productive, comfortable, and energy-efficient. Yet, managing lighting can be challenging, especially when dealing with outdated, inefficient, or overly complex systems.
We specialise in delivering smart lighting control solutions tailored to the specific needs of Australian businesses. Our solutions are designed to reduce energy costs, improve operational efficiency, and help you meet critical sustainability targets, including NABERS, Green Star, and ESG goals.
Whether you’re retrofitting an existing building or designing a new development, mySmart provides the expertise to make your lighting control innovative, efficient, and sustainable.
Why Reliable Lighting Control Is Critical
Without the right system in place, lighting can quickly become a source of inefficiency. Outdated setups often lead to spiralling energy bills, reduced comfort, and missed opportunities to optimise operations. In fact, reports from energy.gov.au show that lighting can account for up to 40% of a business’s energy usage.
Smart lighting control directly addresses these challenges by reducing energy consumption without compromising performance. It also creates adaptable environments for every task or mood, ensuring your space is both productive and comfortable. Most importantly, it helps you achieve sustainability targets with ease, setting your business up for long-term success.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is lighting control?
Lighting control is the use of systems and devices to automate and optimise lighting in a space. It allows you to adjust lighting based on factors like occupancy, daylight, or schedules, often through sensors, dimmers, or smart controls. These systems improve energy efficiency, reduce costs, and create more comfortable and functional environments.
What is a smart lighting controller?
A smart lighting controller is a device that automates and manages lighting systems, adjusting settings based on factors like time, occupancy, or daylight. It can also integrate with other systems, such as security or HVAC, to enhance energy efficiency and centralised control.
Is smart lighting expensive to install?
While the initial costs of luminaires, especially LEDs, can be higher, integrating them with a lighting control system during installation provides significant long-term savings. By reducing energy consumption and minimising maintenance needs, this combination becomes highly cost-effective over time.
What are the key benefits of a lighting control system?
Lighting control systems offer several key benefits:
- Energy Savings: Automatically reduce lighting when not needed.
- Cost Reduction: Lower energy bills and maintenance expenses.
- Comfort & Productivity: Customise lighting for specific tasks, moods, or environments, creating spaces that are both comfortable and efficient.
How do I get a smart lighting system installed?
It’s easy to get started! Simply reach out to our team, and we’ll design the perfect lighting system for your needs. Whether you’re working on a new build or retrofitting an existing space, we can guide you through the process. Contact our sales team, book a service call, or organise a smart building audit to begin.
Can smart lighting control help achieve certifications like NABERS, Green Star, or WELL?
Yes! Smart lighting systems are a critical tool for improving energy efficiency and supporting sustainability. They play a key role in helping buildings meet the criteria for certifications like NABERS, Green Star, and WELL. By reducing energy usage and creating healthier, more sustainable environments, smart lighting aligns perfectly with ESG goals and industry standards.
How does smart lighting control affect reporting and energy management?
Smart lighting systems provide detailed data on energy usage, which is invaluable for reporting and energy management. Facility managers can track performance, identify inefficiencies, and optimise energy consumption. This not only enhances compliance with sustainability goals but also improves operational efficiency.
Can smart lighting be retrofitted into existing buildings?
Absolutely. Smart lighting control systems are designed to be flexible and can be retrofitted into existing buildings. Our solutions are customised to suit your building’s infrastructure, ensuring seamless integration and maximum efficiency.
What role do sensors play in lighting control?
Sensors are essential to any smart lighting system. They detect motion, occupancy, and natural light levels, allowing lights to automatically adjust or turn off when not in use. This reduces energy waste and ensures lighting is only used when necessary, improving both efficiency and comfort.
Are smart lighting systems difficult to maintain?
Not at all! Smart lighting systems are designed for simplicity and ease of management. Once installed, they require minimal maintenance. Plus, we offer ongoing support and monitoring services to ensure your system continues performing at its best.
What is the difference between stand-alone and networked lighting control systems?
A stand-alone lighting control system operates independently, managing lighting for a single room or area using sensors or dimmers. In contrast, a networked system connects multiple areas, allowing centralised control, monitoring, and automation across an entire building. Networked systems are ideal for larger facilities or organisations looking for advanced features and scalability.
What are circadian lighting systems, and why are they important?
Circadian lighting systems mimic natural daylight patterns to support human health and well-being. By aligning with our body’s internal clock, these systems enhance alertness, mood, and productivity during the day while promoting relaxation in the evening. They are especially useful in workplaces, healthcare facilities, and residential spaces.
How do lighting control systems improve safety and security?
Lighting control systems can enhance safety and security by:
- Automatically turning on lights in high-traffic or outdoor areas during dark hours.
- Integrating with security systems to deter unauthorised access.
- Providing consistent, reliable lighting for emergency exits and pathways.
How do smart lighting systems integrate with other smart building technologies?
Smart lighting systems can seamlessly integrate with other technologies like HVAC, security, and building management systems. This integration allows centralised control, energy optimisation, and enhanced user experiences. For example, occupancy sensors in lighting systems can signal HVAC systems to adjust temperature settings based on room usage.
How does smart lighting reduce maintenance costs?
Smart lighting systems reduce maintenance costs by minimising unnecessary use of luminaires, which extends their lifespan. Many systems also include diagnostic tools that notify facility managers of issues, such as a failing light or sensor, enabling proactive maintenance and reducing downtime.
Can smart lighting systems be controlled remotely?
Yes, most smart lighting systems can be controlled remotely through mobile apps or web-based platforms. This feature allows facility managers to monitor and adjust lighting settings in real-time, even when off-site, providing convenience and flexibility.
What are the environmental benefits of smart lighting systems?
Smart lighting systems significantly reduce energy consumption, which lowers greenhouse gas emissions. By ensuring lights are only used when necessary and at optimal levels, they support sustainable building practices and contribute to environmental conservation efforts.
What is the lifespan of a smart lighting system?
The lifespan of a smart lighting system depends on the components used, but most systems are designed for long-term use, often lasting 10-15 years or more. Regular updates to software and firmware can ensure the system stays compatible with new technologies and remains efficient.
How do I choose the right smart lighting control system for my building?
Choosing the right system depends on factors like the size and purpose of your building, your budget, and your sustainability goals. At mySmart, we work closely with you to evaluate your needs and recommend a tailored solution that aligns with your requirements, whether for a new build or a retrofit.
