We had a blast at Lightfair 2023 in New York and we hope you did too! This year our new Bluetooth Networked Controls made their tradeshow debut, and we were excited to demo their capabilities and the intuitive iOS and web app used to program them. The controls are available for our most popular products, extending energy savings and maximizing eligibility for rebate programs.

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!

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.

We work hard to be a one-stop-shop and simplify the sourcing process for all of our customers’ commercial LED lighting projects. This is why in addition to a wide variety of commercial fixtures, we also stock mounting brackets and adaptors that extend the mounting range of our lights. Our mounting accessories are rugged and durable, with sturdy steel or die-cast aluminum construction and our classic weather-resistant dark bronze powder coat finish. Check out the mounting bracket options we currently stock as well as their suggested uses in lighting projects. Our brackets are compatible with our Series GKOAL01, GKOAL04, and GKOALG6 Area Lights, and GKOFD04, GKOFD07, GKOFDG9, GKOFD08, and GKOFDG11 Flood Lights.

Angle Adjustment Adaptor:

This unique, versatile adaptor may be used in combination with an Area Light or Flat Flood Light equipped with a pole or wall mount to vastly expand the range that the light may be aimed to. Fixtures using this adaptor may be adjusted horizontally, vertically, and any combination of the two for precise aiming of the direction of the light.

Angle Adjustment Adaptor

4” and 5” Square and Round Pole Mounts:

These mounting brackets are designed to fit on the top of standard 4” or 5” nontapered square or round poles, and are compatible with Area Lights and Flood Lights equipped with a slipfitter mount. This reliable solution allows for a single light to be mounted on the top of a pole, as well as for the direction of the light output to be adjusted if necessary.

Pole Mounts

Double, Triple, and Quad Horizontal Tenon Adaptors:

Commonly utilized in parking lot lighting, these tenon adaptors enable multiple Area Lights or Flood Lights equipped with a slipfitter mount to be installed on the top of a pole, as well as for the direction of the light output to be adjusted if necessary. These adaptors are designed to fit over our 4” and 5” Square and Round Pole Mount brackets in order to fit on the top of standard 4” or 5” nontapered square or round poles.

Tenon Adaptors

90° Wall Mount Bracket:

This versatile mounting arm is used to attach an Area Light or Flood Light equipped with a slipfitter to almost any surface, such as a roof, wall, or wood pole. This bracket is a great solution when it is necessary to mount a fixture vertically, but not on the very top of a pole.

Wall Mount Bracket

Mid-Pole Bracket:

This versatile bracket is used to attach an Area Light or Flood Light equipped with a slipfitter mount to a vertical surface and aim the fixture from a horizontal base position.

Mid-Pole Bracket

Adaptor For Yoke Fixtures:

In the case that a fixture is not available with a slipfitter mount but comes with a trunnion or a yoke mount, this adaptor allows it to be used with other mounting brackets and expand its mounting capabilities.

Adaptor For Yoke Fixtures
