PhotonStar LED and CSR Bluetooth technology enables flexible dimming
The low energy wireless technology can enable smartphones, tablets and other connected devices to control systems such as lighting in the home
PhotonStar LED Group plc, a British designer and manufacturer of smart LED lighting solutions, continues to work with CSR plc (CSR) in the development of its Bluetooth Smart home lighting products.
These demonstrations are shown on the CSR booth at CES International 2013 in Las Vegas, a major global consumer electronics show.
The firms worked closely to create a joint LED lighting demonstration at CES 2013, showing how Bluetooth low energy wireless technology can enable smartphones, tablets and other connected devices to control systems such as lighting throughout the home.
Photonstar’s existing LED lighting system is fully colour tuneable and dimmable, and the addition of CSR’s Bluetooth low energy technology increases its flexibility and intelligence. Lights can be controlled individually or in groups using an app creating one-touch buttons to adjust the lighting in a room for different uses such as reading, dining or watching movies.
James Mckenzie, CEO of PhotonStar LED Group PLC, comments, “Our work with CSR on the wireless connectivity for our lighting systems has produced some exciting results, as demonstrated at CES 2013. There is great potential for our lighting solutions to work with everyday technology, creating optimal lighting for the connected home or business as part of the future ‘internet of things’ vision.”
