Investment Signal – February 2026

What It Means for Lighting and Control

The overall picture points to a cautious yet clear recovery.
More projects are expected to start, but with a continued focus on control, well-defined decisions, and minimized risk.

In brief:

• Demand is expected to improve gradually over the coming months.
• Activity is increasing first within residential, office, healthcare, retail, and infrastructure. Sectors where energy performance, automation, and the role of lighting are becoming increasingly important.
• Price pressure is easing unevenly, raising the bar for solutions that are easy to justify, explain, and document.

What This Means for Lighting and Control

As projects return, we see a clear shift in how decisions are made:

• Less room for assumptions
• Greater need for verifiability
• Lower tolerance for redesigns and late-stage adjustments

Lighting is increasingly regarded as part of the building’s technical system, with responsibility for both long-term energy performance and regulatory compliance.

How We Address This

Our work with DimIn is deliberately focused on reducing uncertainty early in projects.
Rather than promising future possibilities, we focus on:

• Measurable and verifiable energy data
• Clear system responsibility
• Solutions ready to integrate with building automation and regulatory requirements

This makes it easier to make the right decisions from the outset and avoid unnecessary complexity later on.

Please feel free to get in touch if you would like to discuss how this connects to your upcoming projects, or how EPBD/BACS-related requirements may influence your lighting solution.
