Eindhoven, the Netherlands – Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, today announced the acquisition of Intelligent Lighting Controls, Inc. (ILC), a market-leading U.S. manufacturer of wired control systems, expanding its connected portfolio.
Intelligent Lighting Controls’ sales are primarily focused on energy-saving control systems in applications such as healthcare, education, offices, and sporting venues. ILC, which was founded in 1990, will continue to be headquartered and maintain its manufacturing in Edina, Minnesota.

ILC’s wired control systems expand the Cooper Lighting Solutions portfolio of energy-saving solutions, providing enhanced opportunities to sell a broad range of energy-efficient LED lighting products in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
