Hi First Name, This month, we’re focusing on the vital role lighting plays in healthcare and aged care, as we count down to Intelligent Environments’ first-ever Illuminating Care workshop, hosted in collaboration with zencontrol.
This month, we’re focusing on the vital role lighting plays in healthcare and aged care, as we count down to Intelligent Environments’ first-ever Illuminating Care workshop, hosted in collaboration with zencontrol.
With venues now confirmed across Christchurch, Wellington, and Auckland, excitement is building – and spaces are filling fast.
In this issue, we explore how the right lighting does more than illuminate a room – it enhances wellbeing, supports healing, and adapts to the evolving needs of patients, staff, and older adults.
Here’s what’s inside:
Confirmed details for Illuminating Care, our upcoming CPD-accredited workshop
Why lighting for the elderly needs to change – and how smart controls can help
A case study on Palmerston North’s Acute Mental Health Unit, showing the real-world impact of intelligent lighting in specialised care environments
Let’s get into it – because better lighting leads to better care.
Sincerely, The Intelligent Environments Team

Lighting for the Elderly: Why One Size No Longer Fits All
As we age, our eyes and circadian systems undergo major changes – making standard lighting insufficient for older adults.
From aged care to workplace environments, this article explores how human-centric lighting and advanced control systems like zencontrol’s DALI-2 and DALI+ can improve visibility, wellbeing, and sleep.
It's time to shift from static lighting to intelligent, adaptive solutions that support people at every stage of life.
CASE STUDY Palmerston North Acute Mental Health Unit
Intelligent Environments recently completed a sophisticated lighting control system for the Palmerston North Acute Mental Health Unit (AMHU), delivering enhanced safety, therapeutic flexibility, and significant energy efficiencies for the facility.
This state-of-the-art unit, operated by the Palmerston North District Health Board, required a specialised lighting solution that supported patient care and staff operations while ensuring compliance with stringent healthcare standards.
Manu Bhagwanji, Auckland native, holds a BSc/BTech from Auckland University and has over 15 years of IT experience as an engineer and project manager.
He’s spearheaded various education and commercial projects, including those for the Christchurch rebuild. Transitioning to the controls industry, he led numerous successful Intelligent Environments projects, notably Commercial Bay.
Beyond work, he enjoys sports, music, and photography, though capturing a photo of himself proved challenging!
MYTH BUSTING SERIES
Lighting Control Myth Busting #8

Myth
A lighting control system just controls the lights.
Busted
Lighting control systems do way more! They save energy, boost security, enhance comfort, and can even sync with other smart tech. It's not just about lights – it's about creating a smarter, more efficient environment.
