THE LIGHTING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION (LIA)
The Lighting Industry Association has been representing the lighting industry for many years and has an established reputation for representing and assisting lighting-related companies.
Recent years have seen incredible changes in lighting, how it is created and used, and those working with lighting are now a wider and more diverse group than they have ever been. Whatever your involvement maybe, The LIA is here to support you and your organisation to a successful future.
Our mission is based on three pillars: Connect, Support, Represent. We offer comprehensive support services, technical expertise, training, product testing and certification to our members. Additionally, we advocate for their interests at all levels, raise industry standards, and facilitate valuable networking opportunities.
These pillars allowed us to rationalise and group the many benefits the LIA offer into a more digestible format.
INSTITUTION OF LIGHTING PROFESSIONALS (ILP)
As an influential professional body, we are consulted by government on a wide range of issues, including legislation and regulations that affect the built environment. We aim to ensure that proposed measures are both effective and practicable, by serving on committees, and commenting on draft legislation, reports and consultations.
The Institution of Lighting Professionals unites the skills of engineering, design and technology in order to deliver quality lighting for the built environment and achieve public benefit.
In setting and establishing standards for good practice, the Institution seeks to ensure that its members attain and develop the professional knowledge, education and skills to meet necessary competencies, and to enhance their careers.
Working on exterior and interior projects, in public spaces, workplace, leisure, retail and residential applications, members of the Institution of Lighting Professionals deliver excellence in light and lighting, a quality which is recognised by both private and public sectors.
SOCIETY OF LIGHT & LIGHTING (SLL)
The Society of Light and Lighting (SLL) welcomes all who are interested in any aspect of light, lighting, and its applications.
With over 3300 members globally, the Society of Light and Lighting (SLL) is recognised as an authority on lighting and welcomes all who are interested in any aspect of the world of light, lighting, and its design or application. Lighting designers, consulting engineers, researchers, students, academics, manufacturers, sales staff and many more all contribute to and are members of the SLL.
RAPIX
Rapix is a fully DALI-2 compliant lighting control system, with hardware including zone controllers, switches, sensors, relays, and phase dimmers. These can be installed alongside certified DALI-2 compatible lamps and drivers from other vendors.
The system is managed by a suite of commissioning and monitoring software. The system is built around the concept of zones. A zone can contain a single device or many devices across multiple DALI lines and controllers. Zones are controlled by inputs (sensors, switches, etc.), schedules, or custom logic. The free Rapix Integrator commissioning software configures this, performing error checks before deployment to the zone controllers.
For engineers, the system scales to hundreds of DALI lines and offers a powerful logic engine. It supports protocols like Modbus, MQTT, and Bacnet, and includes a comprehensive REST API for integration and development. Rapix Integrator's "Go Mobile" feature allows fittings to be located without carrying a laptop.
Rapix is actively developed, with new functionality delivered to existing hardware via firmware upgrades managed through the Integrator software. Fault reporting and emergency light testing are included in the facilities package. The system is developed in Australia and is stocked and supported in the UK.
