iLight End of Life Announcement
Signify is transitioning iLight to Dynalite
iLight is part of Signify, the world leader in Lighting for professionals and consumers.
Through our global portfolio of leading brands, which includes Dynalite and Interact, we provide customers with advanced products, connected systems and services, designed to enhance well-being and performance, to elevate experiences and advance sustainability.
As we sharpen our focus and resources on delivering the most complete, reliable and innovative systems, we will soon be ending the sale of iLight hardware and software and directing customers to one of our two main lighting control architectures: Dynalite and Interact.
The Dynalite architecture serves similar applications to iLight and has similar features and benefits. Over the last 15 years, Signify has consistently invested in Dynalite innovation in close alignment with customer needs.
Dynalite is supported by a global System Expert team, an experienced Product Management team and extended training program. It supports a large variety of lighting controls protocols like e.g. DALI, DMX and leading and trailing edge dimming, as well as Zigbee luminaires. It has a sensor portfolio, dry contact inputs, an extended UI portfolio and many integration options.
Interact systems use cloud-based software, connected luminaires, and multi-sensors to manage your lighting efficiently, gather data from the system and lit environment, and deliver valuable and actionable insights.
We are currently supporting partners to move to Dynalite with bespoke training sessions and technical support. For a more detailed timeline on the end of sale and ongoing support commitments for iLight, see the official End of Life announcement here.
For more information, contact your local Signify office or account manager. For support with a transition to Dynalite, please contact us at: enquiries@ilight.co.uk
FAQs
Q: How can I decide whether Interact or Dynalite is the best architecture for my project(s)?
