Our Platforms
Our Group offers two premier smart lighting solutions: Organic Response, tailored for indoor settings like schools, offices, and hospitals; and Capelon, designed for outdoor environments. Both systems utilize presence-based adaptation to drive significant energy savings across all applications.
Indoor lighting
Organic Response
An open intelligent solution
Organic Response is our intelligent lighting control system that achieves unprecedented energy savings at a fraction of the installation cost of traditional systems. At the heart of the system is the Sensor Node, which is integrated into each luminaire.
Based on Distributed Intelligence, it allows each individual luminaire to make lighting decisions based on the presence of occupants in its immediate vicinity, ambient light levels, and information it receives from its neighboring luminaires.
The system is plug-and-play and works offline out of the box, without commissioning. Adding a gateway enables more lighting control functionality and analytics tools. The Organic Response solution includes an online portal, but there is also an open API interface for customers to choose their own software and integrations.
Fighting complexity since 2011
Organic Response originates from a start-up formed in Melbourne 2011. It was founded to address complexities in available lighting control systems. This had become a barrier to the functionality they intended to provide.
Users were left confused with respect to the control functionality and installations required configuration by highly skilled professionals for even base-level operation. This resulted in the configuration often becoming inappropriate over time, resulting in lights burning long into the night.
Organic Response is a lighting control system designed to respond to human presence and ambient light with elegance and unparalleled simplicity – delivering excellent energy savings and occupancy comfort without a complex configuration.
Since 2017, Organic Response has been part of Fagerhult Group, supplying control systems to our Group brands.
The importance of balanced indoor light quantity
An important aspect of indoor quality is the balance between how the light quantity is distributed in a room along the walls, ceiling and floor to create a calm work environment and allow the eyes to rest. We often work with hanging solutions that include an upwardfacing luminaire that lights the ceiling to create a softer transition in the room. It is important to have the right design to minimise glare at eye level and within work spaces. Various colour temperatures can create warm light that has a soothing effect and helps people relax, or cooler light that energises and activates us.
Lighting can also be customised to follow our biological daily rhythm, which supports our well-being. An office environment or lecture hall with correctly adapted lighting can help us both to feel better and to perform at a higher level. Occupational groups, for example healthcare workers, need flexible work light depending on the tasks that need to be carried out.
Outdoor lighting
Capelon
A connected intelligent solution
Capelon is our intelligent smart city platform that simplifies large-scale connectivity for streetlights and urban infrastructure. At the heart of the system is a cutting-edge meshed RF technology, developed in partnership with world-leading experts to ensure a truly scalable and robust network.
Based on an open IoT integration, it allows hundreds of thousands of devices to communicate seamlessly, making autonomous decisions to optimize energy use and urban safety. The system is designed for effortless deployment; it is a plug-and-play solution that "just works" right out of the box, requiring minimal commissioning.
While the network is built to be "install and forget," the Capelon solution includes a powerful management portal and open API interfaces. This gives customers the flexibility to integrate their own software while benefiting from a globally proven, high-performance network that handles the complexities of the modern smart city.
Leaders in scalable smart city connectivity
Capelon has worked with device communications and advanced meter readings for over 20 years, specializing in smart streetlights for more than a decade. While the original base for their connectivity was reliable powerline communication, the company recognized in 2016 that the future of the "Smart City" required a much larger, more scalable scope.
In a smart city, where hundreds of thousands of devices are connected, the platform must be truly robust and easily deployable. Historically, this scale was a significant barrier, as complex configurations often made large-scale networks difficult to maintain and expand.
Capelon addressed these challenges by investing in an open IoT integration platform and a network based on cutting-edge meshed RF technology. Through a strategic partnership with the RF experts at Wirepas, they have delivered a globally proven solution where connectivity becomes the simplest part of the equation—a system designed so users can simply install a device and know that "it just works."
Since 2025, Capelon has been part of the Fagerhult Group, bringing this large-scale IoT expertise to our family of brands to provide the best reliable solutions and support for the cities of the future.
Safety in focus for outdoor lighting
Outdoor lighting quality is often about creating a sense of security and increasing safety. Unnecessary traffic accidents caused by inadequate or incorrect lighting can be avoided by maintaining a high level of light quality. On footpaths and in parks, we work with light as a factor in creating well-being. The path itself, as well as the area around it, are illuminated to increase a sense of security.
In outdoor environments, it is also important to take the animal and human need for a natural circadian rhythm into consideration. By controlling outdoor lighting with sensors and control systems that adjust the light’s strength and colour temperature depending on motion, energy consumption is reduced and unnecessary light pollution is minimised.
