COMMERCE, Calif., April 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Deco Lighting, a top manufacturer of innovative and energy-saving lighting solutions, has joined forces with Daintree Networks, Inc., the leader in open networked wireless control and operation solutions for smart buildings, to create a cost-effective, fully-integrated LED Troffer solution with a wireless-enabled LED driver to be used with Deco LED fixtures. The Deco Watt Controls™ Zigbee LED Driver combines a Zigbee-enabled wireless LED module and an LED driver into one device, and was developed by Deco Lighting to speed the adoption of wirelessly controlled networks in commercial and industrial buildings by simplifying LED lighting controls and reducing the cost of LED fixtures. By combining two separate fixture components, the driver and the wireless module, into one device, The Watt Controls™ driver eliminates the need for an isolated LED module, subsequently lowering the overall cost of the LED fixture. The new driver simplifies commercial lighting systems by offering wireless control over fixture functionality as well as real-time data communication.
“At Deco Lighting, we are adamantly committed to delivering intelligence to the entire building envelope and we’re excited about instituting the Enterprise Internet of Things with our smart lighting products,” said Deco Lighting President, Ben Pouladian, “We do not see light as a binary function device anymore, but as a node for data communication that can help facility managers and building owners learn more about their energy usage.”
“Our collaboration with Deco Lighting addresses the changing environment and requests from customers for integrated, out-of-the-box wireless control solutions to help them meet their energy efficiency goals,” said Danny Yu, CEO of Daintree Networks. “By working with valued partners like Deco Lighting, Daintree Networks is delivering on the promise of open standards to provide increased value to building owners, operators, and occupants.”
