Matching Lamps to the Right Control Platform
Most smart lighting complaints are pairing complaints. This catalogue carries three separate control platforms - 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, RF including four-zone, and Bluetooth 4.0 - and the job is choosing one per site rather than mixing three.
How It Is Done, Step By Step
Map the building into zones
Four zones is the practical limit of one RF handset. Write down the groups before choosing hardware.
Decide whether the network is available
If the client will not share the router, Bluetooth bulbs are the answer. If coverage is patchy across a large site, 433MHz has better propagation than 2.4GHz.
Check the control distance
The documented telecontrol range for the 2.4GHz platform is 20 to 30 metres. A building deeper than that needs zoning, not optimism.
Confirm pairing in the quotation
Which lamps pair with which controller is written into the quotation, so it is settled before shipment rather than on site.
