LED Controls & Sensors
Control the light. Transform the space.
Modern LED lighting can do much more than simply switch on and off.
From precise dimming and adjustable white light to dynamic colour, automated scenes, multi-zone control and intelligent sensors, BPS can help coordinate how your lighting looks, feels and behaves.

Take control of your lighting
Lighting designed around how you use the space.
A control system determines how lighting looks, feels and responds. Depending on the system, control can range from a conventional dimmer to wireless, app-based and integrated lighting management.
LED dimming
The right light for every moment.
Dimming allows the lighting level to change with activity, atmosphere or time of day.
A hospitality space might use brighter lighting during preparation and a softer scene during service. Residential, retail and commercial environments can move between functional and ambient light.
- Touch panels
- Rotary and wall-mounted dimmers
- Wireless and remote controls
- Smart and app-based dimming
Functional / Brighter
Ambient / Dimmed
Warm / Relaxed
Cooler / Functional
Colour & tunable white
Change the atmosphere with light.
Tunable-white systems can move from warm to cool white while RGB, RGBW and other colour-capable systems can transform architectural features and environments.
Compatible controls can manage brightness, colour temperature, colour, effects and scenes.
Multi-zone & scene control
One space. Multiple lighting experiences.
Larger projects often contain several lighting elements that should not all behave the same way.
Individual zones can be controlled separately and then combined into preset scenes for different times, activities or customer experiences.
Example hospitality zones
Sensors & automated lighting
Lighting that responds automatically.
Sensors can allow compatible lighting to respond automatically to movement, occupancy, daylight or interaction with cabinetry and architectural elements.
Motion & Occupancy
Activate, dim or switch lighting according to movement or occupancy.
Corridors, bathrooms, offices, storage, utility spaces and more.
Daylight Sensing
Adjust compatible artificial lighting according to available natural light.
This can support more consistent illumination while reducing unnecessary output.
Proximity & Automatic Operation
Automate drawers, closets, cabinetry, displays and other custom installations.
Lighting can respond to doors, movement or interaction where compatible hardware is used.
Smart & wireless lighting
Control without complicated wiring.
Wireless and app-based systems can provide additional flexibility for modern installations and retrofits.
Wireless Control
Compatible wireless systems can support dimming, grouping, scenes and flexible configuration without relying entirely on traditional control wiring.
- Retrofit projects
- Hospitality
- Retail
- Residential
- Commercial interiors
Casambi
Bluetooth-based Casambi systems can allow compatible lighting components to be configured and controlled through mobile devices.
Depending on the system, functions can include grouping, dimming, scenes and other lighting controls.
Professional lighting control
From simple control to integrated lighting systems.
Larger projects may require centralized management, sophisticated zoning, dynamic effects or integration with wider building and entertainment systems.
Digital Lighting Control
Suitable for compatible professional systems where fixtures or groups need to be managed within a wider lighting installation.
Dynamic Lighting
Particularly useful for compatible colour-changing, multi-channel, sequence and architectural-effect applications.
Wireless Configuration
Bluetooth-based control for compatible systems requiring grouping, scenes and flexible app-based configuration.
Why lighting control matters
More than an on/off switch.
Atmosphere
Adjust brightness, white temperature and colour to shape the environment.
Flexibility
Allow one lighting installation to support different activities.
Convenience
Automate lighting or manage multiple areas from an appropriate interface.
Energy Management
Dimming and sensor-based operation can reduce unnecessary lighting.
Customer Experience
Lighting can become part of the hospitality, retail or entertainment experience.
Design Freedom
Use light as a dynamic architectural element rather than a static fixture.
Compatibility matters
The complete system needs to work together.
The controller is only one component. White LED strip, tunable-white, RGBW and addressable systems may each require different combinations of drivers, controllers, wiring and interfaces.
LED Strip
Output, voltage, colour and LED technology.
Explore LED strip →Aluminum Profile
Installation, thermal management, protection and finish.
Explore profiles →Diffuser / Optic
Controls visible spotting, glare and distribution.
Explore diffusers →LED Driver
Must match the LED load and intended control method.
Explore drivers →Controls & Sensors
Dimming, scenes, colour, zones, sensing and automation.
Accessories
Wiring, interfaces, connectors and installation hardware.
Let BPS help specify the controls
Start with what you want the lighting to do.
You do not need to know whether your project requires DALI, DMX, Casambi, PWM or a particular dimmer.
Start with the required behaviour. BPS can then help review compatible controls, drivers, sensors and supporting components.
How do you want your lighting to behave?
Start with the experience rather than the protocol. Tell BPS about the lighting, zones, scenes, sensors and interaction you want.
Controls & sensors FAQs
Questions before specifying the system.
Can LED strip lighting be dimmed?
What is tunable white lighting?
Can several lighting areas be controlled separately?
Can sensors switch lighting automatically?
Do I need to know whether I need DALI, DMX or Casambi?
