Award-Winning Controller + Antenna Extends Bluetooth Range To 900 Feet

David Shiller July 22, 2022

McWong’s TruBlu Bluetooth mesh Fixture Controller with Long Range Antenna won two prestigious Innovation Awards at LightFair: The Technical Innovation Award and a Control Components & Hardware Category Award.

The TruBlu Bluetooth mesh Fixture Controller with Long Range Antenna offers flexible and powerful networked lighting control outdoors. Since hardwiring is cost-prohibitive for outdoor applications, the introduction of a long-range (900ft) Bluetooth mesh wireless controller that can be integrated directly into a wide range of commercially-available fixtures enables more applications to utilize Bluetooth mesh. Together with features like continuous dimming, DLC certification, zone and luminaire level lighting control options, this controller enables cost-effective Bluetooth mesh control for outdoor lighting.
