Daylight Harvest – intelligent lighting that works with sunlight

Modern lighting is no longer just “on/off”. With Daylight Harvest, artificial light output automatically adapts to available daylight, improving comfort and reducing energy consumption.

What is Daylight Harvest?

Daylight Harvest (automatic daylight compensation) maintains a constant illuminance level in the space. When there is enough daylight, the luminaires dim. When it gets cloudy or dark, they brighten – fully automatically.

How it works

  1. Daylight sensor measures the current illuminance level.
  2. DALI control – the sensor sends information to the luminaires, which adjust their light output.
  3. Constant illuminance level – the result is stable, comfortable lighting throughout the day.

Recommended sensor:
PIR Lowbay Bluetooth DALI sensor (recessed mounting).

Easy setup with the KOOLMESH app

All parameters (sensitivity, brightness thresholds and time delays) can be configured from your phone via Bluetooth in the KOOLMESH app – no PC software required.

What works best with it

For precise control, use DALI-controllable luminaires. See our current range here:
DALI interior luminaires.

Key benefits of Daylight Harvest

  • Energy savings – the system dims the lighting when full output is not needed.
  • Consistent visual comfort – a stable light level without over-lighting or insufficient light.
  • Longer service life – lower thermal and operating load on the luminaires.
  • Hands-off automation – everything runs automatically in the background.
  • Scalability – works in a single room as well as in extensive DALI systems.

Where Daylight Harvest makes the most sense

  • Offices and coworking spaces
  • Schools and public buildings
  • Showrooms, retail stores and service spaces
  • Warehouses and industrial halls

Summary and next steps

By combining a Bluetooth sensor, DALI luminaires and KOOLMESH you get an intelligent system that saves energy and improves comfort in any space.
