Dispal Sakaria, Founder, Lafit Lighting, is redefining how lighting is conceptualised in modern environments, shifting the focus from standalone fixtures to fully integrated systems. Under his leadership, the brand has carved a niche at the intersection of design and engineering, delivering high-performance, intelligent lighting solutions. With an emphasis on interoperability, precision, and human-centric design, Lafit Lighting continues to shape the narrative around smart, responsive illumination in India’s evolving architectural landscape.
Could you give us an overview of Lafit Lighting’s current product portfolio?
Lafit Lighting operates at the intersection of design and engineering. Our portfolio spans precision indoor luminaires, façade and landscape lighting, profile systems, and fully integrated smart lighting solutions, developed specifically for premium residential, hospitality, retail, and large-scale architectural projects.
What distinguishes our approach is that we build lighting systems, not standalone products. Every fixture is conceived with optics, thermal management, driver performance, and control compatibility already resolved, so the result is a cohesive, high-performing installation rather than a collection of parts. Across over 10,000 SKUs and a network of 500+ partners nationwide, we’ve built a portfolio designed to meet the demands of the most specification-driven projects in India.
What are the latest innovations that set Lafit apart?
Our innovation is centred on three pillars: performance, intelligence, and human-centric design.
On the performance side, we’ve advanced our LED platforms significantly, focusing on lumen maintenance, thermal efficiency, and deep dimming (0–100%) with flicker-free operation. Our optical systems are engineered for precision beam control and low glare, with UGR <16 across key product lines.
On the intelligence side, we’ve moved toward modular luminaire architecture, products that are inherently flexible in configuration and easy to maintain, which is a meaningful advantage in high-specification projects. Tunable White and RGBW systems with circadian lighting capability are now standard across our premium range.
The broader shift is philosophical: we no longer think of our products as fixtures. They are responsive nodes within a smart environment, and every design decision reflects that.
How do your solutions integrate with modern smart home ecosystems?
We follow a deliberately open, protocol-driven approach. Our solutions are compatible with DALI, KNX, DMX, and Casambi (BLE), which are the globally accepted standards that professional system integrators actually work with. We don’t build toward closed ecosystems, because our clients, integrators, architects, and developers need scalability and future-proofing above all else.
In practice, this means a Lafit installation can sit within virtually any professional automation platform, support centralised or app-based control, and be expanded or reconfigured without replacing the lighting infrastructure. That interoperability is a genuine differentiator in India’s smart lighting market, where most brands still operate within proprietary boundaries.
What did Lafit showcase at Smart Home Expo 2026?
At Smart Home Expo 2026, we presented our next-generation portfolio with a clear focus on intelligent, design-led lighting. The centrepiece was Morphix, our complete modular lighting range engineered around three fixed modules and multiple mounting configurations, giving architects and designers a single, highly adaptable product family for diverse applications.
Beyond Morphix, we showcased advanced Tunable White systems for human-centric environments, high-performance façade solutions with dynamic control, and precision low-glare indoor luminaires across hospitality, residential, and commercial categories. All products on display were fully automation-ready, compatible with DALI, KNX, Casambi, and DMX, demonstrating what seamless integration looks like in practice.
The experience at our booth was designed to go beyond product display. Visitors saw lighting working as a layered, responsive design element, which is ultimately what we’re trying to shift the conversation toward.
What does the Smart Home Expo platform mean for Lafit and the industry?
Smart Home Expo is one of the few platforms in India where design intent and technology capability genuinely converge. For us, it’s not just an exhibition, it’s an opportunity to engage directly with the system integrators, architects, and developers who are shaping how intelligent environments get built.
More broadly, platforms like this are critical to maturing the smart lighting market in India. There’s still significant education needed, around protocols, integration standards, and the difference between consumer automation and professional-grade systems. Events like Smart Home Expo accelerate that conversation and raise the collective benchmark.
Our participation reflects where we’re headed as a brand: deeper into the specification ecosystem, and more invested in shaping how lighting is understood, not just sold.
