FRANKFURT — Glamox used Light + Building 2026 to highlight connected luminaires and advanced light management systems. The company also showcased human-centric lighting solutions for the professional lighting market. The Norwegian lighting manufacturer emphasized how digitalization and controls are reshaping how buildings use and manage light. During an interview at the EdisonReport studio in Frankfurt, Astrid Simonsen Joos, CEO of Glamox, explained the company’s strategy. She also discussed the technologies drawing strong interest from visitors.
Glamox Highlights Connected Lighting and Human-Centric Solutions
Glamox designed its booth to showcase a full ecosystem of connected lighting. Visitors experienced demonstrations of the company’s latest luminaires, wireless lighting controls, and human-centric lighting technologies. According to Astrid, customers and partners responded strongly to the company’s light management systems. These systems are becoming central to modern lighting installations.
Astrid said the growing role of lighting controls reflects a broader industry shift toward digitalization. Lighting is no longer just about illumination. Instead, connected systems allow buildings to monitor energy use, support regulatory compliance, and improve occupant well-being through advanced lighting strategies.
Why Light Management Systems Are Transforming Buildings
Glamox demonstrated both wireless and wired control solutions. The company’s Glamox Wireless system focuses on ease of installation and scalability. Astrid pointed to a recent project in Oslo. There, installers connected more than 12,000 luminaires using the system.
Ease of installation and flexibility remain key advantages. Wireless controls are particularly popular in renovation projects, while wired Ethernet-to-DALI systems are gaining traction in data centers, hospitals, and other high-security environments.
Sustainability and Growth in Professional and Marine Markets
Sustainability also remains a major priority for the company. Astrid explained that Glamox plans to reach net-zero emissions in its operations by 2030, with a broader company-wide net-zero goal by 2045. The strategy, called the Green Light Plan, includes supplier monitoring, improved materials, and digital tools to track emissions throughout the supply chain.
Glamox generates about 70 percent of its revenue from professional building projects, with the remaining 30 percent coming from marine and offshore markets. The company sees growth opportunities in defense, wind, and other sectors supporting the global energy transition.
Light + Building 2026 in Frankfurt once again brought together thousands of lighting professionals from around the world to explore the latest innovations shaping the future of lighting technology.
