Methods and apparatuses relate to detection and provisioning for lighting interfaces. In one embodiment, a hardware apparatus includes a sensing module to detect a lighting interface from a plurality of lighting interfaces to power a light emitting element, and a dimming module to supply multiple power levels of the lighting interface to the light emitting element. In another embodiment, a hardware apparatus further includes a communication module to provide a signal from a network to the sensing module to detect the lighting interface. A lighting interface may be a digital lighting interface or an analog lighting interface.
