Controls first. Lighting too.

Luxtron is a lighting controls and integration team based in Dubai. For over a decade we have designed, programmed and commissioned control systems for restaurants, offices, retail, parks and homes, and supplied the lighting that goes with them.

About our controls work

A space you have designed lives or dies on how the light behaves once people are in it: lunch versus late night, a boardroom switching to presentation mode, a park coming on at sunset. That is the part we handle, so your design intent survives handover.

We are technical first. When a project needs something no off-the-shelf system does, we write the software and build the hardware ourselves instead of telling you it can't be done.

What that means for your projects:

  1. Protocol agnostic

    Helvar DALI, Casambi, KNX, Dynalite, LogicMachine, BACnet and Modbus. We pick the system that fits the project, not the one we happen to stock.

  2. Integrated with everything else

    AV (including Q-SYS), fire alarm, BMS, blinds and HVAC under one set of scenes and one panel.

  3. Our own software and hardware

    SAMA 4 touch panel, remote commissioning and AI-assisted control, all built in-house.

  4. Support after handover

    Scene tweaks and fault finding done remotely, without waiting for a site visit.

  5. And the lighting too

    Our own luminaires and track systems built on Citizen, Helvar and A.A.G. Stucchi components.

Sectors

Where we work.

Controls built around how each kind of space is actually used.

  1. F&B

    Day-to-night scene changes, one-touch service modes and integration with AV and music. Oche, Smokes & Mirrors, Deseo, Mekong at Anantara.

  2. Commercial & workplace

    Meeting room presets, presence and daylight control, and links to AV and fire alarm. PwC, DLA Piper, IBV Vaults, Dubai Airports.

  3. Retail

    Window and display scenes that follow campaigns, and schedules shared across every store in a chain. We have lit stores for Tag Heuer, Aigner and Rivoli, and controls are the natural next step.

  4. Landscape & parks

    Astronomical clocks, central scheduling and remote monitoring across dozens of sites. 90+ parks across Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Dubai.

  5. Residential

    Villas and apartments with lighting, blinds, climate and AV on one panel, built on LogicMachine, KNX or DALI with our SAMA 4 touch panel.

  6. Museums & exhibitions

    Wireless track lighting control for galleries that change every show. Louvre Abu Dhabi, Cultural Foundation, Manarat al Saadiyat.

Services

What we do.

From the first scene list to years after handover.

  1. Controls design

    We turn your layouts and mood boards into zones, scenes and schedules, and pick the system that fits the budget and the building.

  2. Controls supply

    Controllers, sensors, keypads, touch panels and DALI drivers from Helvar, Casambi, LogicMachine and others, delivered as one package.

  3. Programming & commissioning

    Scenes, schedules, astronomical clocks, daylight and presence control, programmed on site and handed over with documentation.

  4. Systems integration

    Lighting tied into AV, fire alarm, BMS, blinds and HVAC. If it has an API or a serial port, we can usually talk to it.

  5. Custom software

    Where no product does the job, we write it: protocol bridges, panel UIs, dashboards and logic built for the project.

  6. Custom touch panels

    SAMA 4, our 4" in-wall panel, runs a UI built around your scene names, graphics and branding, whatever system sits behind the wall.

  7. Remote commissioning

    Our in-house remote access unit lets us commission, adjust and troubleshoot Helvar systems without a site visit.

  8. AI-assisted controls

    Ask the building what's on, what's faulty or what's using energy in plain language, and get an answer from the live system.

  9. Lighting supply

    Luminaires, track systems and drivers from our own range, so the lighting and its control come from one team.

  10. Aftersales & support

    Spares, warranty and changes after handover, when the menu, the tenant or the season changes.

Process

How we work with designers.

Technical first, from brief to handover. You own the design intent, we make it work.

  1. Brief

    Send us layouts and the moods you want. We come back with a zoning and scene plan in your language, not in DALI addresses.

  2. System selection

    We recommend a platform per project, wired or wireless, open or proprietary, with the trade-offs laid out plainly.

  3. Integration design

    We map every system that has to work with the lighting (AV, blinds, BMS, fire alarm) and write whatever software is missing.

  4. Commissioning

    Scenes are set on site with you, so what the client sees matches your renders.

  5. Handover

    The client gets a simple panel or app with scenes named the way they talk. We keep remote access for tweaks.

  6. Lighting, when you want it

    Once we're on the controls, we can supply fixtures already tested with the system from day one.

Hardware

SAMA panels: our own front end.

One touch panel range, running software we write, in front of whatever system the project uses.

  1. Control panel for any system

    If it has an API, we talk to it. Helvar through our in-house bridge, Dynalite, DALI, KNX, BACnet, Modbus and more.

  2. Designed around the interior

    Layouts, scene names, colours and graphics built to your design and the client's brand, deployed the same on every panel on site.

  3. Two sizes, one interface

    SAMA 4 for bedsides, corridors and meeting rooms, SAMA 10 for living areas and front desks. Same software, same look.

  4. AI server built in

    Talk to the building through your favourite AI assistant: what's on, what's faulty, what's using energy.

  5. Remote commissioning

    Scenes and schedules adjusted from our office, so small changes don't wait for a site visit.

  6. Logic stays where it belongs

    The panel handles the screens. Scenes, schedules and logic stay on the site controller, so servicing follows the model the project already uses.

  7. Built for installers

    A single PoE cable, standard back boxes and RS485 onboard for local devices keep first fix simple.

  8. Anything else behind the wall

    Blinds, HVAC, AV, room booking or access control: got a system we haven't met? We'll build the integration.

Our own SAMA panels first, and the keypads and panels from the systems we specify.

SAMA 4

4" in-wall touch panel, our own software

Android 11 or Debian Linux on a quad-core RK3566 with 2 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. One PoE cable for power and network, RS485 onboard for local devices, optional light, temperature and humidity sensing. Drives Helvar, Dynalite, DALI, KNX, BACnet or Modbus through the site controller. Black or white, fits EU and 86 mm back boxes.

SAMA 10

10.1" flush-mount touch panel, our own software

For rooms that need more than scenes: lighting, climate, blinds and AV on one screen. CNC-machined metal case in black or silver, 1280 x 800 IPS display with 10-point touch. PoE powered with RS485 onboard, running the same software as SAMA 4, so one interface scales from the bedside to the main living area. Fits UK/86, EU and US back boxes.

Residential

Smart homes on LogicMachine.

A new offer for villas and high-end apartments, built on the same controls and integration work as our commercial projects.

  1. LogicMachine at the core

    An open edge controller that speaks KNX, DALI, Modbus, BACnet, Zigbee and EnOcean, with scripting for whatever logic the house needs.

  2. One panel for the whole home

    SAMA 4 in-wall panels with a UI designed around the interior: your palette, the homeowner's scene names.

  3. Lighting, blinds, climate, AV

    Scenes that set lights, curtains and temperature together: Good Night, Away, Entertain, Cinema.

  4. Suits the finishes

    Panels and keypads in black or white that fit standard EU and 86 mm back boxes, so they sit with the interior instead of against it.

  5. Works with what's specified

    If the MEP spec already names KNX or DALI, we build on it instead of ripping it out.

  6. Remote support

    Scenes and schedules adjusted after move-in without disturbing the family.
