Read full description

NFC Lighting is an APP for programming LED drivers by NFC , which allows users to change output current of LED drivers with just one click. NFC programming replaces the labor-intensive and time-consuming current setting method of traditional LED drivers. With NFC Lighting, users can precisely adjust the output current down to 1mA. Since the LED drivers do not need to be powered for NFC programming, output current and parameters of mass drivers can be fast configured. So it greatly reduces time and costs of installation and commissioning. Programming with your phone Keep your phone close to the NFC driver to read the data, and set the output current, parameters or advanced template depending on your needs, then save them. Get your phone close to the NFC driver again to write them into the driver. Programming more easily with a NFC programmer Connect the NFC programmer to your mobile phone. Set the output current, parameters or advanced template using the APP, and save them on the NFC programmer. Then you can complete the settings for mass LED drivers. Advanced DALI lighting template Integrate the setting of the DALI lighting system, and edit the lighting effect for DALI groups and scenes. Save them as the advanced template. Compatible with various types of drivers Constant Current/Constant Voltage DALI LED Drivers, Constant Current/Constant Voltage 0-10V LED Drivers, Constant Current/Constant Voltage Phase Cut LED Drivers, Constant Current/Constant Voltage DMX LED Drivers, Constant Current/Constant Voltage Bluetooth LED Drivers. Achieve OTA firmware upgrade of NFC programmer through NFC Lighting App.
