These have given rise to more than 3,000 products that are among the best of their kind. Some have even revolutionised entire industries.

The inventors' company

Sensors make buildings future-proof.

Modern buildings are already being equipped with sensor systems to maximise efficiency, comfort, safety and sustainability. The data obtained is then used for continuous improvement in the areas of building design and function.

Light with built-in climate protection.

Efficient, intelligent, automated and connected – this is how light can reduce the environmental footprint of buildings, conserve resources and promote sustainability. The configuration of individual luminaires or entire luminaire networks is quick and easy using an app.
