Still Using iLight? Here’s What You Need to Know

iLight by Eaton has served many commercial buildings well over the years, but it’s now considered a legacy system. That means limited parts availability, reduced manufacturer support, and increasing maintenance challenges.

At Gemini Lighting Solutions, we work with facilities teams, project managers, architects and commercial property owners to support existing systems and when ready, transition to a smarter, future-ready alternative with minimal disruption.

Your Options with iLight

Maintain What You Have

If your iLight system is still doing the job, we can help you keep it that way:

  • Reprogramming and reconfiguration
  • Fault-finding and remedial works
  • Replacement parts (subject to availability)

Transition Planning

Many clients are now moving from iLight to more scalable systems like Philips Dynalite. We can:

  • Audit your current setup
  • Design a replacement or phased upgrade
  • Handle installation, commissioning and support

Combine Old with New

Not ready for a full replacement? We can integrate legacy systems into broader building control platforms or carry out upgrades in stages, which can be especially useful across larger estates.

FAQs

Can you still get iLight parts?
Some. Stock is limited, and lead times vary, but we’ll check for you.

Do I need to replace the whole system?
Not always. We’ll give you clear options from servicing what you have to upgrading in stages.

Is Dynalite a good replacement?
Yes. It’s scalable, robust, and ideal for commercial settings. We also support Lutron, DALI and other leading systems. Talk to us about your upgrade options.

iLight Support Guide

Why iLight is Being Phased Out

Originally designed and manufactured by Eaton, iLight was a reliable system used in commercial buildings across the UK. However, iLight was officially phased out towards the end of 2025. This can mean that:

  • New modules are becoming harder to source
  • Some systems may no longer meet modern energy and safety standards
  • Manufacturer support is increasingly limited

If your building still relies on iLight, we can help you evaluate your options.

Upgrading from iLight to Philips Dynalite – What’s Involved

Philips Dynalite is a popular replacement system for iLight, offering:

  • Full integration with lighting, HVAC, blinds and AV
  • Modular, scalable infrastructure for buildings of all sizes
  • Centralised control and energy reporting


We’ll start with a detailed site survey to understand your existing infrastructure, then provide options for:

  • Direct replacements where cabling and interfaces align
  • New control strategies and zone mapping
  • Minimal-disruption installation and commissioning


We also handle all programming, end-user training and system handover.

Lighting Control System Health Checks

Not sure where you stand?

We offer system health checks for buildings still running on iLight or other legacy systems. These include:

  • On-site inspection and diagnostic testing
  • Reporting on system condition and lifespan
  • Recommendations for maintenance or upgrade


This is ideal if you’re unsure about next steps, planning a refurbishment, or need to budget ahead for compliance and efficiency improvements.
