LS Electric is fully expanding its smart wireless lighting business, which can reduce lighting energy consumption by at least 30%.
LS Electric said Thursday that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with LS Sauter and Merlot Lab on Wednesday at LS Tower in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province, to cooperate on energy savings and operational efficiency projects using smart wireless lighting systems. The signing ceremony was attended by Park Woo-bum, executive vice president of LS Electric; Kim Sung-yong, CEO of LS Sauter; and Shin So-bong, CEO of Merlot Lab.
LS Electric will lead customer development, business planning, and AI-based feature development, while LS Sauter will handle equipment integration, data collection, system construction, and operations and maintenance. Merlot Lab will be responsible for lighting device hardware development and OEM production, control software, communication technology support, and quality assurance.
Smart wireless lighting features built-in communication modules that enable individual control without separate communication wiring. Compared with conventional wired control methods, it offers easier installation and maintenance, and can flexibly accommodate changes in spatial structure or equipment expansion.
By illuminating only the necessary areas and maintaining only the required brightness, the system can cut lighting energy consumption by at least 30%, making it attractive to customers seeking both energy efficiency and reduced operating costs. Beyond simple lighting control, it can also collect and analyze various operational data, making it highly useful for building smart factory and smart building environments.
LS Electric plans to target industrial sites where power consumption and operational efficiency are critical, including data centers, factories, buildings, and logistics centers. "As AI data centers and smart factories spread, demand for energy efficiency and operational optimization is rapidly increasing," an LS Electric official said. "Through an integrated solution combining smart wireless lighting with the factory energy management system (FEMS) lease business, we will simultaneously support customers in reducing energy costs and improving operational efficiency."
