by Shane Henson — May 8, 2013—Hubbell Lighting, a manufacturer of a comprehensive range of indoor and outdoor lighting products, recently unveiled what it says is the first outdoor light-emitting diode (LED) luminaire that is controlled using Bluetooth technology—LightVault 8.

Lightvault 8 by Kim Lighting, an affiliate of Hubbell Lighting, is easy to install, ruggedly built of solid brass, and includes leading-edge LED optics and state-of-the-art field adjustable optics and dimming, the company says.

The luminaire is available in spot, wall-wash and narrow flood in-grade applications; multiple color temperatures; up to 2,500 lumens output; and flat-lens, half-shield, eyeball, rock guard and directional marker-style housings, says Hubbell Lighting. In addition to custom dimming and aiming using a Bluetooth-enabled iOS or Android device using Kim Lighting’s LightVault 8 app, the light distribution can be customized using optional hex louvre, prism lens and spread lens filters.

The Bluetooth-enabled LightVault 8 expands Hubbell Lighting’s robust collection of wireless lighting control solutions that also include Hubbell Building Automation’s wiHUBB for indoor and outdoor applications and their newest offering wiSTAR for interior occupancy and daylighting control, the company adds.
