As urban and architectural lighting rapidly moves toward digital integration, the Zhaga standard has emerged as a key international benchmark. Its purpose is to ensure interoperability between luminaires and electronic modules, including sensors, communication devices, and centralized control systems.

Zhaga enables the standardization of mechanical and electrical interfaces between components, making luminaires modular, scalable, and future-proof. This approach allows easy replacement or addition of components—such as presence sensors, connectivity modules (Bluetooth, Zigbee, LoRa, etc.), or DALI controllers—without altering the luminaire or requiring costly redesigns.

The benefits are significant:

• Extended service life of equipment thanks to simplified maintenance;
• Lower operational and upgrade costs;
• Guaranteed compatibility with smart city ecosystems and lighting management platforms;
• Greater flexibility in deploying new functionalities with minimal intervention.

As part of this innovation-driven strategy, Minolight is initiating a transition toward Zhaga compatibility across its latest luminaire ranges. This move reflects our commitment to delivering lighting solutions that are sustainable, upgradeable, and fully prepared for connected environments now and in the future.

This strategic shift also marks Minolight’s official entry into the public lighting sector, with a product offering designed to meet the technical, environmental, and digital demands of today’s smart cities.

By adopting Zhaga, Minolight is paving the way for a new generation of intelligent luminaires, combining performance, adaptability, and seamless integration to support more efficient and forward-thinking lighting management.
