Signify empowers Smart lighting / Intelligent lighting with AI agents, extending its reach from roads and offices to landscape illumination.

· Signify has added AI-powered multimodal light interaction capabilities to its Interact smart connected lighting system, enabling users to generate customized light recipes with a single click via natural language input.

· The technology was first deployed in Interact Landmark Flex, integrated into the “VOID SPACE” public art installation at the 2026 Shanghai International Light Festival, creating a real-time, emotion-responsive light-and-shadow experience.

· Powered by AI, Interact now covers key lighting scenarios such as office spaces, urban environments, and landscape illumination, continuously expanding the boundaries of lighting value.

Signify announced that, following successful implementations in road and office lighting, its generative AI agent (GenAI Agent) and smart connected lighting system have been extended to landscape illumination. Through Interact Landmark Flex, the system delivers multimodal light interaction capabilities, reducing content planning costs and timelines by approximately 80%. The system made its debut in the “VOID SPACE” public art installation at the 2026 Shanghai International Light Festival.

Qiu Ronghong, Global Chief Innovation Officer of Signify, stated:

“Artificial intelligence is fundamentally redefining the role of light—transforming it from mere functional illumination into an interactive medium capable of evoking emotional resonance. Innovation is deeply embedded in Signify’s DNA. The extension of our AI agent’s multimodal light interaction capabilities marks another milestone on our AI roadmap. It not only lowers the traditionally high barriers to creating dynamic landscape lighting but also empowers artists, property managers, and audiences alike to co-create immersive light experiences in real time, unlocking light’s extraordinary potential across culture, entertainment, and public spaces.”

Multimodal Light Interaction: Generate Custom Light Recipes with One Click

The core upgrade this time lies in the generative AI agent’s ability to enable multimodal light-effect interaction. Building on years of lighting expertise gained from global landmark projects, the system leverages an intelligent agent framework to construct a cross-disciplinary knowledge base and enhance multi-skill and interactive capabilities. Supporting multimodal inputs such as natural language, users no longer need to manually adjust parameters like color or brightness through traditional interfaces, nor do they have to coordinate multiple control systems for different performance devices. Instead, by simply describing the desired light color, ambiance, or scene mood, the AI agent can precisely interpret the user’s intent and automatically translate it into a corresponding “light recipe,” driving lighting and related performance equipment to deliver the intended effect in real time. This technology significantly lowers the barrier to scenario-based lighting programming, cutting content-planning costs and timelines while making personalized, immersive light experiences accessible to all.

With the addition of multimodal light interaction capabilities, Signify’s AI-powered Interact smart connected lighting system now covers key lighting domains including roadways, offices, and landscape illumination. The deep integration of digital technologies with cultural experiences and public-space operations is transforming smart lighting from infrastructure upgrades into a central enabler of spatial experiences and efficiency gains. Looking ahead, Signify will continue to place AI innovation at the heart of its strategy, constantly expanding the horizons of lighting applications and delivering more efficient, imaginative smart lighting solutions tailored to diverse settings.
