Lighting Control Commissioning Services
Ensure your lighting systems perform exactly as intended with Connected Light’s expert lighting control commissioning services. Whether you’re installing new controls, optimising existing systems, or troubleshooting underperforming setups, our commissioning engineers deliver precision and reliability at every stage.
We work across commercial, industrial and residential projects, with UK-wide coverage and support for a wide range of control systems. From Casambi to Lutron, Philips to Helvar, our team brings decades of experience, helping you achieve seamless integration, enhanced energy efficiency, and confident compliance.
What We Offer
Connected Light’s commissioning services are tailored to ensure your lighting control systems are fully operational, efficient, and aligned with your project’s goals. Whether you’re starting from scratch or updating legacy systems, we provide expert-led commissioning that supports your team from first fix to final handover.
System Commissioning
We carry out full functional commissioning for new installations, verifying that your lighting controls perform in line with the original design intent. Our engineers configure, calibrate and test your system onsite, ensuring all components work seamlessly together.
Recommissioning & Optimisation
Older or modified systems can often be improved with a fresh commissioning approach. We review and reconfigure your current setup to eliminate faults, streamline performance, and bring outdated installations up to today’s standards.
Diagnostic & Fault-Finding Days
Our diagnostic day service acts as an MOT for your lighting controls. Whether you’re experiencing intermittent faults, user frustration, or inconsistent behaviour, we can investigate, test and document issues, providing clear recommendations for resolution.
System Upgrade Reviews
Planning to modernise? We assess existing systems with a view to upgrade, helping you identify opportunities for energy savings, wireless control adoption, or integration with other technologies.
User Training & Handover Support
Our team ensures that your facilities staff are confident in operating and maintaining the commissioned system. We provide practical training sessions and clear documentation for ongoing support.
With Connected Light, every commissioning project is backed by qualified engineers, robust methodology and a responsive service that adapts to your project’s needs. Whether it’s a high-end residential space or a large-scale commercial scheme, we’re here to make sure your lighting performs exactly as it should.
Systems We Commission
Our commissioning engineers are experienced in a wide range of lighting control platforms, ensuring seamless setup, integration and optimisation across all project types. As a vendor-neutral partner, we work with both wired and wireless technologies, delivering high-performing control systems that meet the specific needs of each site.
We support DALI-based systems such as Helvar, Tridonic SceneCOM, Zencontrol, KNX and Dynalite, alongside wireless and mesh-based technologies including Casambi, Hubsense, Litemesh, and Organic Response. Our team also commissions intelligent scene and sensor-led platforms like Lutron, Prolojik, Steinel, BEG, CP Electronics, and Philips OccuSwitch. For specialist projects, we also support ELP Surepath, LIGO, and additional hybrid systems.
With deep knowledge across this spectrum, we ensure every system is configured, calibrated and integrated to meet your operational, aesthetic and compliance requirements. Whether for a new build, retrofit, or system upgrade, we deliver control solutions that are efficient, robust, and ready for long-term performance.
We also bring particular expertise in Casambi wireless controls, including seamless integration into heritage or existing installations. To learn more about the latest OEM control technology, visit Philips’ connected lighting solutions.
Our Commissioning Process
We follow a proven commissioning process based on best practice guidance from industry authorities including CIBSE’s Commissioning Code L.
Our approach ensures that lighting control systems are not only installed correctly, but perform consistently, intuitively, and in full alignment with your design goals and regulatory responsibilities.
We evaluate system documentation, design intent, and site conditions to prepare for efficient onsite commissioning. This helps flag potential compatibility issues or integration gaps early.
Onsite, our engineers power up and configure the system, assigning correct zones, scenes, and behaviour profiles. We fine-tune sensors and controls to real-world conditions-avoiding the common disconnect between design and actual use.
We test each system component individually and as part of a whole. Any issues are logged, resolved, and retested to ensure the final system operates exactly as intended.
Whether your system includes wall panels, mobile apps, or building-wide dashboards, we make sure the user experience is intuitive and reliable from day one
A clear record of the commissioned system-including test results, configuration settings, and maintenance recommendations-is provided at the end of the project. If required, we also deliver toolbox talks or on-site training to ensure your team feels fully supported.
We offer ongoing support after project completion, ensuring you have direct access to our team for any future queries or needs. This commitment guarantees not just a solution, but a partnership for your lighting’s lifecycle.
With technology evolving rapidly, effective commissioning is more important than ever. Whether it’s a DALI upgrade, wireless retrofit or hybrid solution, we ensure your systems are future-ready and user-friendly.

Benefits of the Services and Choosing to Work with Us
A professionally commissioned lighting control system offers long-term performance, efficiency, and peace of mind. At Connected Light, we don’t just bring systems online – we make sure they work for you, your space, and your long-term goals.
Precision Performance
We fine-tune lighting controls to operate smoothly within their environment, ensuring they respond accurately to occupancy, daylight, and programmed behaviour. This reduces user frustration and improves comfort across the board.
Energy Efficiency & Compliance
Well-commissioned systems reduce unnecessary energy use, support compliance with UK energy codes and help meet Net Zero targets. We align our commissioning approach with CIBSE standards and BS5266 for emergency lighting where required.
System Longevity
With all devices tested, verified and properly configured, commissioned systems require less ongoing maintenance and experience fewer failures – saving you money and downtime in the long run.
