iLight Has Been Replaced – Why Dynalite Is the Natural Successor
The iLight lighting control system is no longer available for new projects. For consultants and operators maintaining or upgrading legacy installations, Dynalite is the recommended replacement platform.
Dynalite offers a clear upgrade path for sites previously using iLight, delivering:
· Modern control hardware and software
· Enhanced LED compatibility
· Scalable system architecture
· Long-term manufacturer support from Signify
In many cases, Dynalite products can be deployed as part of a phased migration strategy—allowing hospitality operators to modernise lighting controls without the disruption of a full system replacement. For detailed technical guidance on iLight compatibility, please get in touch with one of our experienced Dynalite experts.
A Proven Alternative in the Philips Dynalite vs Lutron Discussion
When evaluating Philips Dynalite vs Lutron, hospitality professionals often prioritise system flexibility, integration capability, and long-term support. Dynalite is widely specified in large-scale hospitality environments due to its decentralised intelligence, open integration options, and ability to support complex operational requirements across multiple zones and buildings.
As part of the wider Philips lighting control system ecosystem, Dynalite integrates seamlessly with architectural lighting, emergency lighting, and smart building platforms—making it particularly well suited to hotels and mixed-use developments.
Dynalite System Architecture – Built for Hospitality
A Dynalite system is made up of intelligent, interoperable components designed to work together as a single control platform:
· User Interfaces – switches, Antumbra controls, and touch screens for intuitive operation
· Sensors – motion, occupancy, and daylight sensing for automation and energy efficiency
· Network Devices – gateways and bridges enabling system-wide communication
· Relay Controllers – robust on/off control for non-dimmable loads
· Load Controllers – leading-edge, trailing-edge, and DALI dimming for LEDs and legacy loads
· Integration Devices – connectivity with BMS, room management, and third-party systems
This modular approach allows Dynalite systems to be precisely tailored to guest rooms, public areas, back-of-house spaces, and external environments—while remaining adaptable to future changes.
