obiWAN® LAMPYRiS
SiP embedded cellular outdoor lighting controller
LAMPYRiS is a complete System in Package (SiP) Low Power Wide Area Cellular Narrow Band DALI-2 outdoor lighting controller, designed to be embedded directly into the electronic board of a smart LED driver, a LED light engine or a solar lighting MPPT smart charge controller, like a regular electronic component.
SiP embedded cellular outdoor lighting controller
Product Overview
LAMPYRiS works straight out of the box, connecting your lighting equipment directly to the existing NB-IoT/LTE-M cellular network without the need for additional gateways, self-acquiring its GPS location and auto-commissioning into any LwM2M or TALQ compliant Central Management Platform. Just like that, with no more complexity to the adoption of massive IoT technology in the urban environments.

Meet LAMPYRiS
An industry-leading System-in-Package that solders straight onto the driver PCB, making any luminaire factory-smart.
Average consumption below 0.3W, powered directly from the driver over a 4–33VDC range.
Auto-commissioning with onboard GPS for self-location, no manual setup required on site.
Controls up to 4 individually addressed drivers over a DALI-2 interface, compliant with D4i.
Small footprint. Big savings.
With only 1.7 × 0.9 in (43 × 23 mm), about the size of a 2€ coin, LAMPYRiS makes any LED driver factory-smart.
Only 1.7 × 0.9 inches (43 × 23 mm), an industry-leading form factor for embedded cellular control.
Solders straight onto standard LED driver or LED light engine PCBs via castellated holes.
Fully compatible with automated SMT lines, minimizing labor costs in automated factories.
Fewer components per luminaire dramatically decrease the cost of smart lighting control.
LAMPYRiS value proposition
Embed smarter intelligence closer to the fixture while controlling manufacturing costs, LAMPYRiS turns any luminaire factory-smart without rewriting hardware roadmaps.

Answers to the questions
we’re asked most.
Find quick answers to the most common questions about the LAMPYRiS SiP embedded cellular outdoor lighting controller.
What is LAMPYRiS and how is it installed?
LAMPYRiS is a System in Package (SiP) embedded cellular outdoor lighting controller, designed to be soldered directly into the PCB of a smart LED driver, a LED light engine or a solar MPPT charge controller — like a regular electronic component. It can also be clipped into a card edge connector.
Does it require an external gateway?
No. LAMPYRiS connects directly over the existing LTE 3GPP cellular network (NB-IoT/LTE-M), so there is no need for an external gateway or concentrator — each controller communicates independently with the management platform.
What is the power supply requirement?
LAMPYRiS is powered with 24VDC (operational range 4VDC to 33VDC) and has an extremely low average power consumption of less than 0.3W.
Does it have onboard GPS?
Yes. It includes an onboard GNSS receiver for automatic and precise self-location and commissioning, with accuracy better than 5m.
What luminaire interface does LAMPYRiS support?
It provides a DALI-2 interface according to the IEC 62386 standard, compliant with D4i, controlling up to 4 individually addressed drivers.
What are the dimensions and weight?
LAMPYRiS measures L43.38mm (1.71") x W23mm (0.91") x H5mm (0.20") and weighs just 10g.
What is the warranty period?
LAMPYRiS comes with a 10-year warranty, subject to obiWAN Terms & Conditions.
