The moments that made Lightwave
From our founding in 2007 to smart technology at scale — scroll to explore the milestones and products that shaped Lightwave.
One Mission. Two Ways to Make Spaces Smarter.
Our mission is to transform the way people interact with the spaces around them. Through intelligent technology, intuitive control and expert support, we help create homes that are more convenient, comfortable and sophisticated, while enabling businesses to operate more efficiently, reduce energy waste and manage their buildings more effectively.
Helping homeowners create connected spaces that are more comfortable, convenient and enjoyable to live in.
Lightwave brings lighting, power and heating together into one intelligent system, making it easier to create the right atmosphere, automate everyday routines and enjoy greater control over the home.
Lightwave gives homeowners control over lighting, power and heating through one connected system.
Customers can manage their home remotely, automate daily routines, create personalised environments and bring a more considered level of technology into everyday living.
Smart home technology can often feel disconnected, complicated or difficult to integrate properly into the home.
Lightwave aims to make advanced control feel natural, reliable and easy to live with.
A future where intelligent technology is built naturally into the home, making everyday living simpler, more comfortable and more responsive without introducing unnecessary complexity.
The home should adapt around the people living in it, rather than requiring them to constantly manage the technology.
Lightwave will continue to expand the connected home, improve the way products and systems work together and bring intelligent control into more areas of everyday living.
The focus will remain on creating sophisticated technology that feels simple, considered and effortless to use.
Helping organisations understand, control and reduce energy use across their buildings, venues and estates.
Lightwave provides the visibility, automation and centralised control needed to reduce unnecessary consumption, lower operating costs and manage complex sites more effectively.
Lightwave gives organisations greater visibility and control over energy use across their sites.
Our technology is already helping businesses automate equipment, manage groups of devices, reduce energy waste and operate their buildings more efficiently.
Many organisations have limited visibility over where energy is being used, with equipment frequently left running when it is not needed.
Lightwave gives businesses the control and information required to reduce that waste without making their operations more complicated.
A future where organisations have complete visibility and control over how energy is used across their buildings and estates.
This will allow businesses to reduce waste, improve efficiency, lower operating costs and make measurable progress towards their sustainability goals.
Lightwave will continue to develop deeper energy insight, wider automation and more effective estate-level control.
The aim is to help organisations understand more of their energy use, control more of their equipment and clearly measure the financial and environmental impact.
Whether we are helping someone create a more intelligent home or enabling an organisation to manage energy across an entire estate, our purpose remains the same.
To give people greater control over the spaces around them through technology that is intelligent, reliable and simple to use.
The Principles Behind Lightwave
From our beginnings in assisted living to the smart homes and commercial spaces we support today, Lightwave has always focused on creating technology that is trustworthy, simple and genuinely useful.
Designed and engineered in the UK, with UK-based support and a commitment to quality, reliability and long-term customer relationships.
We make advanced technology feel straightforward, intuitive and easy to use.
Our assisted-living roots continue to shape technology that solves real problems and gives people greater control.
We help homes and businesses reduce unnecessary energy use without compromising comfort, convenience or performance.
These values influence every product we design, every customer we support and every space we help make smarter.
From an idea in 2007 to over 0+ connected devices.
