AI in lighting design is reality
Artificial intelligence is no longer a future topic in lighting design. With the new ReluxAutomizer, it is now clear how AI can accelerate, standardise and simplify planning processes. Its integration into Sonepar Digiplan shows that this development is already happening in the market.
ReluxAutomizer – Automatic recommendations
Based on the specifications, luminaires are compared and recommended in accordance with the presets.
From concept to practical solution
Many projects require spaces to be planned quickly, compliantly and economically. Especially for standard applications such as offices, classrooms, corridors or retail areas, there is strong demand for reliable results in a short time.
This is exactly where Relux Automizer comes in. The tool automates key steps in the lighting design process and creates an initial standards-based lighting solution using room data. This significantly reduces manual effort. Designers receive a solid starting point much faster and can then focus on optimisation and project-specific refinement.
What does this mean in practice?
AI does not replace the expertise of lighting designers. It takes over repetitive tasks and delivers meaningful proposals within seconds.
This creates clear advantages:
Benefit |
Value |
| Faster initial planning | Less time required in early project phases |
| Standards-based guidance | Designs aligned with defined requirements |
| Less routine work | More focus on quality, design and consultancy |
| Scalability | More projects completed in less time |
| Easier entry | Support for users with less specialist experience |
ReluxAutomizer – Comparison of luminaires
The luminaires are recommended based on their specifications and the room requirements. There is no need for tedious repetition and testing.
Why this matters
The market is changing. Projects move faster, budgets are tighter and requirements are becoming more complex. At the same time, many sectors face a shortage of skilled professionals. Digital tools with AI support can help close this gap.
For electrical planners, installers, wholesalers and consultants, this means:
- faster quotation processes
- more efficient project delivery
- standardised results
- improved advisory quality
- more time for demanding tasks
Partnership with Sonepar
The fact that Relux Automizer has been integrated directly into Sonepar Digiplan is a strong signal. AI in lighting design works not only as a standalone application, but also as part of digital workflows. Users can process captured rooms directly and start an automated lighting design within the same environment.
An innovative solution from RELUX for the forward-thinking company SONEPAR. Thank you for the pleasant and professional collaboration!
People remain essential
Despite automation, professional lighting design remains a discipline with many layers. Architecture, perception, sustainability, user comfort, controls, daylight and design all require experience and judgement.
AI provides speed. People provide evaluation, responsibility and quality.
Conclusion
AI in lighting design is reality. Not someday, but now. Relux Automizer demonstrates how intelligent software can solve real challenges and improve processes.
The future of lighting design is not people or machines. It is people with better tools.
