Calon was founded in 1997 as a technical consultancy, developing open control products for others and providing specialist controls consultancy and troubleshooting services. Now, Calon have evolved from consultancy to be 100% focussed on the development of new products, which are all manufactured in the UK and open protocol.

Our continual research and development has led to innovative products that have been used on a number of large commercial buildings and major retail chains, in partnership with global BMS solution providers. With the introduction of our latest product ranges, SmartSensor™ and SmartBridge™ we have chosen to launch the Calon Trusted Partner Network.

The Calon Trusted Partner Network provides the basis for the successful use of Calon lighting controls such as SmartSensor™, SmartBridge™ and InfraLIGHT.  The partnership includes commitments from both Calon and the Calon Trusted Partner to form a fair partnership, for joint success in the market.

Any company with a good level of technical ability and familiarity with lighting controls can apply to become a member of the Calon Trusted Partner Network. To become a partner, there is no application fee; however there are two flexible payment options to cover compulsory training costs of employees. See the table below for further information.
