Additionally, we introduced the 3 new Power & CCT Tunable lights being added to our product line: the Series GKOALG8 Area Light, the Series GKOMLHG6 Linear High Bay, and the Series GKOHBG8 Circular High Bay. All of these new products are fully compatible with our Bluetooth Networked Controls, further increasing their versatility for complex project requirements and large commercial installations.

It was great meeting with lighting professionals from around the world and discussing how GKOLED can help them with their business needs. We have big plans for 2024, so stay tuned for news about which tradeshow we’ll be going to next!

The post GKOLED Introduces Networked Controls at Lightfair 2023 appeared first on GKOLED.

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.

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.

What does it mean when a product is UL Listed?

 
A UL Listed label indicates that the product has undergone thorough safety testing by Underwriters Laboratories, a top Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL), and has been certified as meeting the Underwriters Laboratories safety standards for that product category. Though the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) currently recognizes almost 20 NRTLs, Underwriters Laboratories is one of the most (if not the most) trusted and recognized, making UL the industry benchmark for safety certification in the United States.

Originally founded as a non-profit in 1894, Underwriters Laboratories has expanded to 64 laboratories with offices across 46 countries. The organization has been instrumental in establishing nationwide safety standards for commercial and consumer products, defining over 1,500 sets of proprietary safety standards for its independent testing and certification. After a product receives a UL certification, representatives from Underwriters Laboratories conduct periodic follow-up visits with the manufacturer, ensuring continued compliance with Underwriters Laboratories safety standards.

All GKOLED commercial LED lighting products are UL Listed, which is the Underwriters Laboratories certification for end products or complete components. Most of our products are UL Listed for Wet Locations, which means they may be safely used in areas where they may come in direct contact with water. This is especially important for lights that are used outdoors or in wet environments, such as Area Lights or High Bays. Information on specific product UL certifications may be found on the product spec sheets.

Why is it important to use UL Listed lighting products?

 
Why is it important that our LED fixtures are UL Listed? Almost all commercial building codes require that installed light fixtures carry a NRTL safety certification. By obtaining the UL Listed certification for our commercial LED products we ensure that our fixtures are compliant, and that their safety certification is readily accepted.

Additionally, though a UL Listed certification is an indication of safety, not quality, being UL Listed makes a lighting product eligible for DLC Standard and DLC Premium qualification by the Design Lights Consortium, one of the major organizations that help define the standards for quality in LED lighting. A DLC Standard or DLC Premium qualification indicates that a LED lighting product meets or exceeds the standards of quality set by the Design Lights Consortium and is a requirement for most utility rebate programs. In addition to being UL Listed, most of our commercial LED lighting products are either DLC Standard or DLC Premium qualified, ensuring eligibility for utility rebates.
