by Brianna Crandall — April 18, 2016 — LG Electronics USA is introducing its new energy-efficient, round and IP65-rated LED high bay with wireless communications, designed for easy installation thanks to its advanced wireless grouping technology and light weight.
Similar to LG’s existing Simple Choice high bay lighting, this new performance model allows for efficient set-up through the use of a mobile application (available on Android devices) to group and ungroup fixtures at the touch of a button. In addition to managing grouped fixtures, this also provides the opportunity to customize light levels, allowing for greater energy savings and flexibility in fixture management.
The fixtures feature an integrated daylight and occupancy sensor with three levels of system integration, including stand-alone, group control and third-party wireless controls using the ZigBee open standard protocol. This minimizes concerns over the flexibility required to create a network of high bays that work together within a lighting control system.
LG’s round, IP65-rated high bay is a performance model within the company’s broader high bay line-up and can be ideal for installations in food processing facilities and gymnasiums. It is appropriate for each environment, respectively, because it can be washed by power hose and features high durability thanks to its polycarbonate lenses.
The fixture is also lightweight, weighing less than 10 pounds, allowing for easier installation. Meanwhile, LG’s Simple Choice high bay remains a lower-cost option, ideal for industrial warehouses and factories.
To promote ease of third-party systems integration, LG’s new high bays are being certified for compatibility with the Daintree Networks’ industry-leading ControlScope enterprise controls platform, which uses the open ZigBee wireless communication standard.
