BEGA North America Unveils BEGA Connect: Transforming Lighting Control for Outdoor Architecture

On January 8, 2026, BEGA North America announced the launch of BEGA Connect, a revolutionary architectural lighting management system tailored for outdoor projects. This cloud-based platform is designed to enhance the efficiency and simplicity of managing lighting systems across various scales, from small facades to grand landmark installations.

A New Era in Lighting Control

BEGA Connect utilizes Narrowband IoT technology, allowing users to enjoy remote control and monitoring without the need for a local server or complex IT setups. This focus on user-friendliness makes BEGA Connect an attractive option for lighting professionals and facility managers.

With its intuitive mobile and web applications, users can easily navigate the system without requiring specialized technical skills. This accessibility supports efficient commissioning, configuration, and continuous monitoring of lighting systems from smartphones, tablets, or web browsers.

Key Features of BEGA Connect

1. Remote Monitoring and Control: Users can oversee their installations from virtually anywhere, thanks to mobile access that simplifies tasks such as commissioning and configuration.
2. DALI and IoT Integration: The platform supports an open protocol standard, utilizing DALI connectors to link existing lighting systems to the cloud, and Air Connectors to extend functionality via Narrowband IoT. This is particularly useful in locations lacking local networks.
3. Cohesive Control Ecosystem: BEGA Connect is built on established DALI-2 and Zhaga Book 18 Ed. 3.0 guidelines, allowing for seamless interoperability among products from different manufacturers, ensuring a comprehensive control system.
4. No Ongoing Fees: Unlike many competitors, BEGA Connect requires only an upfront hardware investment—eliminating recurring licensing or runtime charges.
5. Secure Cloud Infrastructure: Adhering to strict European data protection standards, user data is securely stored on cloud servers located in Germany.

Architectural Integration

Lee Warren, the Director of Sales at BEGA, shares the company's vision: "At BEGA, we view lighting not just as illumination but as an integral part of architecture. With BEGA Connect, that vision comes to life."

This innovative system empowers lighting designers, electrical engineers, and facilities teams by allowing light to harmonize and adapt to the architectural environment. By simplifying the control and management of outdoor lighting systems, BEGA Connect represents a significant advance in the realm of architectural illumination.
