Quick answer
Smart lighting controls automate when and how your fixtures switch on, dim and change colour — through motion sensors, occupancy detectors, daylight controls, touch panels, wireless switches and smart drivers. Bright Ideas Ahmedabad supplies Sensinova sensors and Infine8 smart drivers, with full dimming and building-management compatibility for homes, offices, hotels and energy-efficient projects.

Where this catalogue gets specified
Applications & typical projects.
The kinds of projects where smart lighting controls bring energy savings, comfort and a clean modern feel.
- Corridors, stairwells & basements — motion sensors for occupancy-based switching
- Hotel guest rooms & villas — scene-controlled touch panels and bedside switches
- Office cabins & meeting rooms — occupancy sensors plus daylight-harvesting dimmers
- Commercial open-plan floor plates — zone controllers and DALI dimming integration
- Smart villas & premium residential — WiFi / Bluetooth scene control and app dimming
- Facade & landscape — astronomical timers for sunset-on / dawn-off operation
Specifier's quick guide
How to choose the right control.
Five decisions that shape your lighting-control plan — from the type of sensor, to how you dim, to how the system talks to the rest of your home or building.
- 01Sensor technology. Microwave for long range and through partition (4-16m); PIR for line-of-sight rooms (8-20m); true-presence (radar) for cabins where someone might be still at a desk.
- 02Detection mode. Motion-based (lights off when no movement) for corridors and stairs; occupancy-based (lights stay on while someone present) for cabins and washrooms.
- 03Dimming protocol. TRIAC for residential retrofit; 0-10V for commercial; DALI (DT6 / DT8) for BMS, large projects and tunable systems; WiFi / Bluetooth for smart-home control.
- 04Power topology. Mains-wired (AC) sensors and switches for permanent installations; battery-free kinetic and BLE mesh for retrofit without rewiring; DC low-voltage for villa automation systems.
- 05BMS integration. Plan DALI / Modbus / BACnet gateway architecture at design stage if the project has a building management system. Bright Ideas commissions on-site.

Lighting controls FAQs
Common buyer questions.
When should I use a motion sensor vs an occupancy sensor?
Motion sensors detect movement and switch lights on — best for corridors, stairwells and basements where lights only need to be on when someone's moving through. Occupancy sensors hold the light on while someone is in the space even when still — best for cabins, meeting rooms and washrooms where false-offs are disruptive.
What dimming protocol should I specify — TRIAC, 0-10V, or DALI?
TRIAC for residential retrofit (works with regular wall dimmers); 0-10V for commercial lighting that needs simple analogue dimming; DALI (DT6 for single-channel, DT8 for tunable-white) for projects with BMS integration, large installations and tunable-white systems. Confirm at spec stage so driver and control panel are matched.
Can I retrofit smart controls into an existing building?
Yes — wireless / BLE mesh controls and battery-free kinetic switches let us add smart controls without recutting walls or rewiring. WiFi controllers integrate with existing fixtures via the driver. For new builds, plan DALI or 0-10V control wiring at electrical stage for the cleanest result.
Do these controls integrate with a building management system (BMS)?
Yes — the Sensinova catalogue includes DALI, 0-10V and Modbus integration for BMS-controlled commercial projects. Touch panels and WiFi controllers tie into BACnet / Modbus gateways for enterprise BMS deployments.
What's the typical detection range for a microwave sensor?
Sensinova microwave sensors detect movement at 4-16m radius depending on the SKU. The NANO PRO-S true-presence sensor reads even breathing at 2–3m. PIR sensors detect at 8-20m max. Range adjustments are sensor-side and confirmed at commissioning.
Do controls help with energy-compliance certification (ECBC / GRIHA / LEED)?
Yes — occupancy sensors, daylight harvesters and timer-based facade controls help projects clear ECBC, GRIHA and LEED energy-efficiency requirements. We can spec the controls layer alongside the fixture layer so the whole scheme contributes to the certification target.
