Osram launches Simplux LED-centric smart lighting platform

Leading into LightFair International (LFI), Osram has announced the Simplux smart lighting platform designed for commercial spaces of around 10,000-ft2 or with a maximum of 100 network nodes. Osram calls Simplux a standalone wireless control system — meaning that it does not require a central light management system — and the company touts ease of installation and commissioning as a key feature. Still, Simplux networks can also be connected to Osram’s Encelium networked light management system via a software upgrade for full Internet of Things (IoT) functionality.
