About Us

At zencontrol, we’re a dedicated team of experienced professionals who genuinely care about doing things properly.

Everything we do is focused on delivering reliable, high-performing automated lighting control, backed up by the kind of service and support you should expect as standard.

We work closely with leading UK construction companies, consultants, contractors and architects, supporting major construction and refurbishment projects across the UK. From early-stage design and specification through to commissioning and long-term support, we make sure every system performs exactly as intended — not just on day one, but throughout its full lifecycle.

We pride ourselves on the quality of our products, our after-sales service, and the long-term relationships we build with our clients and end users. We don’t disappear once a project is complete,  we provide ongoing maintenance, technical support and system health checks to keep installations running smoothly. To reinforce that commitment, all zencontrol system component parts are covered by a 5-year warranty.

We’re also committed to continuous development. We invest in improving our products and technology so we can stay at the forefront of the Automated Lighting Control industry,  offering customers the very latest capabilities with a service that matches.

Our Commitment

At zencontrol, we’re committed to providing one of the most energy-efficient and cost-effective automated lighting solutions available. We understand that lighting control is no longer just a “nice-to-have” — it plays a vital role in meeting building regulations, improving sustainability performance, reducing operating costs and supporting better working environments.

Whether the priority is compliance, energy reduction, user comfort, or long-term flexibility, we help deliver systems that make commercial buildings smarter, more efficient and easier to manage.

What We Do

zencontrol is a manufacturer of lighting and control products including Emergency Luminaries, control gear and lighting control systems incorporating DALI. We have been directly involved in a wide number of world class DALI installations including grade A commercial buildings across the city of London.

We offer a complete end-to-end service, including:

  • Consultancy
  • Design
  • Supply
  • Commissioning
  • Maintenance

This full-service approach ensures consistency from concept to completionand gives our clients confidence that the system has been designed, configured and supported by the same team throughout.

A System Designed to Adapt

Our automated lighting control system is designed to be extremely flexible. It can be tailored to suit virtually any installation, using any combination of detectors, switches and scheduled timed event control.

One of the key advantages of our network-addressable approach is that project configurations can be centrally or remotely monitored and reconfigured using a central or remote PC via a secure IP link. This makes future changes faster, simpler and far more cost-effective, especially as building layouts, tenant requirements or usage patterns evolve over time.

Why Automated Lighting Control Matters

Modern automated lighting control plays a key role in meeting legislation, avoiding environmental penalties, reducing operating and maintenance costs, and maintaining (or improving) the visual environment within a building.

Our technical catalogue includes a complete list of the lighting control products we supply and configure, allowing us to build the right system for each project, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all solution.

  • Low initial outlay
  • Reduced installation time
  • Reduced installation cost
