The trusty LED Linear High Bay is a popular fixture for commercial projects and is a go-to for contractors working on large warehouse and industrial installations. In recent years, rebate programs for Bluetooth Networked Controls have been gaining traction, and we saw the need for an updated Linear High Bay optimized for compatibility with these programs. Available in 4 compact sizes ideal for aisle and workbench illumination, the Series GKOMLHG7 Linear High Bay is loaded with optional bells and whistles and is sure to become a customer favorite.

Key Features

  • Available in 4 sizes: 10”x14”, 11×18”, 11”x27”, 11”x36”
  • Compatible with our Plug & Play Bluetooth Networked Controls
  • Adjustable CCT of 5000K and 4000K
  • Available in 120-277V or 347-480V voltage
  • Standard 0-10V dimming controls
  • Integrated 6kV surge protection
  • High efficacy of 161 lm/W
  • Hassle-free 5-year warranty

Perfectly blending cost-effectiveness with quality, GKOMLHG7 features a durable, lightweight die-cast aluminum housing with a translucent prismatic lens that minimizes glare. Each fixture is pre-configured with a Plug & Play socket out of the box, enabling the easy installation of our Plug & Play Bluetooth Networked Controls. These allow the lighting contractor to group multiple fixtures together and program them as a group for advanced lighting behavior, such as dimming, occupancy detection, scheduling, and security lighting. This significantly increases energy savings and allows fixtures to be eligible for additional rebate programs.

Additional options include Plug & Play Multi Level Motion Sensors (customizable with an optional remote) and Emergency Battery Backups for emergency operation during power outages. Each fixture includes a set of cables for suspension mounting, with optional accessories available for surface or conduit pendant mounting requirements.

Featuring continuous improvement in energy efficiency and light quality, LED lighting is the most exciting lighting technology currently available. Another breakthrough innovation, Networked Lighting Controls, can further enhance the capabilities of LED lighting, offering additional control and flexibility. When combined, these two technologies provide the most energy efficient and versatile lighting solution, and the benefits increase exponentially for larger projects. Because of this, incorporation of Networked Lighting Controls into lighting projects is currently being heavily incentivized by many energy companies – a win for both the lighting professional and the end customer.

To meet the need of contractors who would like to include Networked Lighting Controls in their projects, we have partnered with reliable brands to offer Bluetooth Networked Controls for our most popular fixtures: Series GKOAL04 Area Lights, Series GKOMLHG4 Linear High Bays, Series GKOMLHG6 Linear High Bays, Series GKOHBG8 Circular High Bays, and Series GKOPL LED Panels. Our controls are reliable and straightforward, perfect for the lighting professional who is interested in the technology but isn’t sure how to get started. Our US-based customer service team will assist with initial networked controls projects, and is always available to answer questions or troubleshoot to make sure projects go off without a hitch.

Bluetooth Networked Controls Availability

WHY USE GKOLED BLUETOOTH NETWORKED CONTROLS?

Our controls are reliable and user-friendly. Our Bluetooth Networked Controls are DLC NLC qualified, meeting the stringent DLC 5.0 standards for cybersecurity and interoperability. They are thoroughly tested with each product for which they are offered before being brought to market.

The controls software is easy to use. The app used to set up and commission the lights is intuitive and straightforward, and accessible from any location on a computer or iOS mobile device with an internet connection.

Our controls are cost-effective. There are no additional fees or subscription costs beyond the initial price for the control hardware. The operating app is automatically bundled with the controls.

Our controls are supported by in-house US-based customer service. Our customer service team offers thorough training on the product and will walk you through initial projects, and are always available to answer questions or troubleshoot.

WHAT CAN I DO WITH BLUETOOTH NETWORKED CONTROLS?

Our Bluetooth Networked Controls enhance our lights with these advanced capabilities:

Grouping: Allows multiple fixtures to be linked together into a zone and zones linked together into an area, enabling the fixtures to react and behave the same way.

0-10V Dimming: Allows customized lighting outputs that can be linked to occupancy detection or scheduling functions.

Occupancy Sensor: A single sensor automatically adjusts the light output of all linked fixtures to a predefined level when it senses occupancy in the area.

Scheduling: Light control settings are programmed based on time and day of the week.

Security Lighting: Selected fixtures can be continuously lit to offer security lighting, even when all other lights are turned off.

HOW DO GKOLED BLUETOOTH NETWORKED CONTROLS WORK?

Installation of control hardware is handled on our end, and we will also help with project setup until you are comfortable with using the software. All programming is done using an intuitive, user-friendly application available on a computer or iOS device with an internet connection, which is bundled into the initial price of the control hardware and does not require any subsequent subscription fees.

Project setup and configuration is done in two stages. During the first stage, the project is planned in the software on desktop or mobile, with general locations for the lights and initial programming being decided upon. A single project can include multiple types of fixtures, with different groups of lights being programmed for different behavior. After the fixtures are installed, lights are connected to the Bluetooth mesh network, or “commissioned”, using an iPad or iPhone within Bluetooth range of the individual fixtures. The programming may also be tested and tweaked at this stage. Anytime after the project has been set up and installed, programming may be tweaked from any location, using a computer or iOS device with internet access.

Visit us during Lightfair 2023 at booth #1357 to test our Bluetooth Networked Controls in person! If you are unable to make it, you can also get additional information about our controls from our US-based customer service team, at 516-670-6888 or at will@jeelighting.com.

Ultra-Efficient Wall Pack With Power & CCT Tunable Options https://gkoled.com/ultra-efficient-wall-pack-gkowpg15/ Thu, 27 Oct 2022 09:30:12 +0000 https://gkoled.com/?p=13479 A staple of the lighting professional’s toolkit, the wall pack is a popular fixture used for exterior security lighting in commercial applications.

A staple of the lighting professional’s toolkit, the wall pack is a popular fixture used for exterior security lighting in commercial applications. Though the traditional non-cutoff wall pack tends to be the go-to fixture for many projects, many local ordinances have restrictions that limit the amount of spillover light allowed, which requires the lighting contractor to use a wall pack with a full cutoff design instead. With our new Series GKOWPG15 wall pack, we offer a stylish, low-profile alternative that perfectly fits in with the aesthetics of more modern buildings. And, with a fantastic efficacy of over 140 lm/W, the energy savings add up fast.

Key Features

  • Available in Fixed Power & CCT wattages of 26W, 38W, 65W, 100W, 135W
  • Available in Tunable Power & CCT wattages of 65W & 100W
  • Standard CCT of 5000K, available in 4000K and 3000K
  • Standard 120-277V voltage, 65W & 100W available with 347-480V
  • Standard 0-10V Dimming Controls
  • High efficacy of up to 153 lm/W
  • Hassle-free 5-year warranty

Available in 5 wattages and 3 CCT options, this versatile light also comes with Power & CCT Adjustment Controls on select wattages. This allows the lighting professional to avoid having to keep track of a range of fixed wattage and CCT fixtures in different configurations in more complex installations. Additionally, an optional 120-277V button photocell can add dusk-to-dawn functionality to the fixtures for additional energy savings, and an optional emergency battery backup can provide up to 90 minutes of emergency operation in the case of a power outage.

Slim Full Cutoff Wall Pack GKOWPG15
