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.

Warehouses and Industrial Settings With High Ceilings

 
Linear High Bays

With a high lumen output of up to 50,500 lumens, these powerful, economic fixtures produce an even distribution of light in a long, narrow pattern. This makes them ideal for illumination of aisles with tall shelving, as they will produce uniform lighting across the entire height of the shelves, improving visibility for increased safety and productivity. Additionally, their elongated light output often makes Linear High Bays the more practical lighting solution for long workbenches or production lines. When looking for a one-to-one replacement of existing fixtures, Linear High Bays are designed to replace T5 or T8 fluorescent linear lights. Because of their wider beam angle, they are also ideally suited to installations where more spacing between fixtures is required. We currently offer two series of Linear High Bays – the series GKOMLH and the newer series GKOMLHG4.

Circular High Bays

Because they generally have higher lumen output and a uniform beam spread, Circular High Bays tend to be the preferred lighting option for large open spaces with mounting heights of 35’ and over. Additionally, as they only need to be hung from one point, Circular High Bays will generally be simpler and faster to install than Linear High Bays, saving on installation costs. Circular High Bays are designed to be a one-to-one replacement for metal halide, HID, and HPS fixtures. Most Circular High Bays are designed for an IP 65 rating, and are the better choice for environments that are subject to moisture and environmental contaminants. We offer four series of Circular High Bays, each uniquely designed for a different purpose: series GKOHB02, series GKOHB04, series GKOHB05, and series GKOHB06.

Warehouses and Industrial Settings With Low Ceilings

 
Canopy Lights

Also sometimes referred to as Low Bay Lights, these low-profile, inconspicuous fixtures may be used for open indoor spaces with ceiling heights under 15’. These versatile indoor/outdoor lights may also be used to illuminate walkways and loading docks. Our canopy lights are available in the series GKOCP03 circular model and the series GKOCP05 square model.

Linear Fixtures

Designed as a one to one replacement for traditional fluorescent linear fixtures, the elongated light pattern of Linear Fixtures makes them ideal for illuminating long, narrow spaces such as aisles or workbenches. Our series GKOLFG2 4’ Linear Fixtures may be used one at a time, or connected together to produce a larger 8’ fixture using the optional Row Connector Bracket, extending the light coverage even further.

Industrial Settings Exposed to Moisture Or Environmental Contaminants

 
Vapor Tight Linear Light

An enclosed fixture with an IP 65 rating, the series GKOVTG3 Vapor Tight Linear light is the rugged, durable lighting solution for industrial and manufacturing settings with exposure to dust, water, and humidity. It is ideal for settings that must undergo frequent cleaning, such as food preparation facilities, as the fixture may be safely hosed down with no adverse effects. Its ability to withstand cold temperatures also makes it a popular choice for illuminating cold storage.

Warehouse And Industrial Exterior Areas

 
Wall Packs

Designed to be installed on a building exterior to ensure pedestrian safety, these durable lights provide commercial buildings with perimeter or security lighting. Our wall packs are available in the traditional non-cutoff series GKOWP08 model and full cutoff series GKOWPG2 and series GKOWP10 models, for optimal control over light output in regulated areas.

Area Lights

Commonly mounted on poles, these powerful outdoor fixtures ensure vehicle and pedestrian safety by providing uniform illumination for commercial parking lots. We offer three series of Area Lights, series GKOAL01/02 and series GKOALG6, which use premium components for optimal performance, and series GKOAL04, which use modern components for a low-profile housing. A wide range of mounting options, brackets, and adaptors are available, to suit varied installation requirements.

The post Area Light & Flat Flood Light Mounting Options: Part 1 appeared first on GKOLED.

The Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) defines 5 distinct types of light distribution, providing a consistent standard for evaluating the light distribution patterns of different fixtures even across different manufacturers. Many commercial outdoor fixtures, such as roadway lights, area lights, and flood lights, are available in a range of light distribution types in order to accommodate a variety of lighting requirements, and larger commercial lighting projects will often require a mix of lighting distributions to ensure optimal lighting control and coverage.

Type I

 
A fixture with a Type I light distribution emits a very wide, symmetrical linear light pattern, with a large amount of light on both sides of the fixture. The width of a Type I light distribution pattern will be equal to the mounting height of the fixture. Type I fixtures are intended to be placed in the center of a pathway, and are ideal for lighting sidewalks and walkways. No GKOLED fixtures currently use a Type I distribution pattern.

Type II

 
A fixture with a Type II light distribution emits a wide oval light pattern, and is able to light up an area that is up to 1.5 times wider than its mounting height. Type II fixtures are intended for installation on a ramp or at the edge of a wide path or street. Our series GKORL01 LED Roadway Lights are available in a Type II distribution by special request.

Type III

 
Also commonly called Bat Wing distribution. A fixture with a Type III light distribution emits an oval light pattern with more forward throw but less width than Type II. The width of a type III distribution pattern is approximately 2.75 times wider than the fixture’s mounting height. This light distribution is often used for roads and exterior parking lot lighting. This is the default light distribution for our Tier 1 and Tier 2 LED Area Light fixtures and our series GKORL01 LED Roadway Light fixtures, and is also available by special request for our Tier 1 and Tier 2 LED Flood Lights.

Type IV

 
Fixtures with a Type IV light distribution are also commonly known as Forward Throw or Asymmetric fixtures. A fixture with a Type IV light distribution emits an oval light pattern with more forward throw but less width than Type III. Because of its minimal backlight, this light distribution is ideal for applications where it is important to control light spillover, such as building exteriors and parking area perimeters. This light distribution is available by special request for our Tier 1 and Tier 2 LED Area Lights, Tier 1 and Tier 2 LED Flood Lights, and series GKORL01 LED Roadway Lights.

Type V

 
A fixture with a Type V light distribution emits light equally and evenly on all sides, in a symmetrical square or circular pattern. GKOLED Type V fixtures are designed to emit a square light pattern, as it delivers more efficient light coverage. Type V fixtures are intended to be installed in the center of an area to be lit, and are commonly used for large commercial parking areas. This is the default light distribution for our Tier 1 and Tier 2 LED Flood Lights, and is also available by special request for our Tier 1 and Tier 2 LED Area Light fixtures.

To ensure effective, consistent illumination for an area being lit, it is important to carefully plan out every commercial LED lighting project in advance with a lighting layout. If you are unable to create one yourself, our engineers can make one for you, as well as recommend the optimal fixtures to use in your project. Contact us at 516-670-6888 or at will@jeelighting.com for more information.

To provide the dusk to dawn functionality required by many energy reduction and security lighting LED projects, GKOLED offers photocells for the majority of our Commercial Outdoor LED Lighting fixtures, some as an optional add-on and others included by default. To make this convenient for you we can pre-install the photocells at our Chicago facility by request. However, you may choose to install them yourself as our photocells are set to automatically turn a fixture on at 10-20 Lux and off at 60-80 Lux and do not require complicated programming or setup.

We carry two types of photocells for use with GKOLED’s Commercial LED Lights. Twist Lock Photocells are available in 120-277V, 348V, and 480V, accommodating different electrical requirements, and are attached to the exterior of a fixture for simple service and maintenance. Button Photocells are available in a standard voltage of 120-277V, and are installed inside the fixture with only the sensor exposed, resulting in a low profile. As always, for a Risk-Free Trial of any of our Commercial and Residential LED Lighting fixtures, contact us at 516-670-6888 so we can help you determine what LED light would be the best solution for you.
