Powerline communication for intelligent lighting.

Let lighting products communicate through the electrical wiring already in the building, instead of putting a wireless radio in every fixture.

A radio in every fixture

Networked lighting controls usually build a wireless mesh between hundreds or thousands of fixtures. It works in the showroom, then gets congested, fragile, and expensive at building scale.

Data on the lines already there

ZapPLC lets a switch, controller, or gateway send data to every luminaire over the existing power wiring. No wireless radio per fixture, and no mesh to commission and maintain.

ZapPLC for lighting

What it delivers

Fewer dropped nodes

A wired pathway is not affected by RF congestion between fixtures.

Lower installed cost

No wireless module in every fixture, and far less commissioning time.

Room to building scale

The same architecture covers one room or a whole facility.

Works with your platform

Sits beneath NLC, BMS, and Matter through one clean interface.

Where it fits

Built into the products you already make.

A ZapPLC communication module embedded inside a powered device's circuit board
Panels, troffers, and linear fixtures
High bay and industrial luminaires
Downlights and retrofit kits
Fixture drivers with an embedded node
