CUSTOMIZABLE Personalize your space with a click of a button. The mobile app offers easy on/off, dimming, and color control.

LUMINAIRE LEVEL LIGHTING CONTROL (LLLC) Qualifies for LLLC utility incentive programs. Wireless, integrated Lightcloud Blue controls enable fast commissioning and simple management. Make quick adjustments to sensor settings directly from the mobile app, including occupancy/vacancy, sensitivity levels, and manual settings for occupancy timeout. Reduce energy costs and improve occupant experience with granular or Area control using occupancy, dimming, high-end trim and more. SMARTSHIFT SmartShift is a circadian lighting system that matches the natural patterns of daylight and helps our bodies get back in sync with the sun. When enabled, it automatically tunes the color and intensity of lamps and fixtures throughout the day, mimicking the sun's changing light as it rises and sets. We’ve already created some SmartShift Presets for you in the app or create your own for customizable control. SPECIALTY Lightcloud Blue offers unique embedded features such as At-Home and Emergency Mode. At-Home creates the appearance that the space is occupied, by automatically scheduling lamps and fixtures to randomly turn on, dim, and turn off throughout the day. Emergency Mode serves as a visual notification that, when enabled, will randomly flash the lights to deter trespassers or signal there is an emergency. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS iOS 13 or higher Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 4.0 or higher
