Inside the Wi-Fi Downlight Platform: 2.4GHz, 1 to 100 Percent, 20 to 30 Metres
The documented specification of the Wi-Fi controlled downlight family, and what those numbers mean for a real building.
The published specification
The Wi-Fi downlight family is specified at 6W, 9W and 12W, with CCT and brightness adjustable working modes, colour temperature adjustable across the quoted range, brightness adjustable from 1 to 100 percent, input 100 to 240Vac at 50/60Hz, power factor above 0.9, telecontrol distance 20 to 30 metres, on a 2.4GHz radio frequency.
What 20 to 30 metres means in a building
It means a floor, not a building. Control that has to cross a concrete core or reach a second floor needs a second control point, and that is a design decision made before ordering, not a fault discovered afterwards.
Why power factor above 0.9 is in the specification
Because commercial buyers are charged for it. A driver with poor power factor costs the building money that never shows up in the lamp's own wattage.
Round and square in the same series
The ultra-thin references are listed in both round and square bodies at 9W and 12W, so one job can mix formats on the same control platform.

Colour temperature and light output are the two specifications that decide whether a lamp is accepted on site, and they are routinely confused with each other and with watts.

Bluetooth 4.0 bulbs pair straight to a phone, which solves the hotel, rental and small-office case where no one is giving out the router password.
