the continued growth of mobile smart devices

with the trend toward LED lighting replacing fluorescents in many buildings throughout the world, and the continued growth of mobile smart devices, LED lights that broadcast location data can help consumers interact within shopping malls, museums, trade shows, office buildings, factories and even airports and airplanes.

Each ByteLight-enabled LED high bay light broadcasts a proprietary signal that a smart device camera can detect. ByteLight’s platform delivers location information to easily update visitors with real-time maps and related location-based information without an active network connection. ByteLight administration features even enable building staff to analyse visitor traffic patterns and measure engagement.

Rather than creating an open standard, ByteLight’s firmware must be licensed to LED manufacturers, who then embed the ByteLight technology directly into the LED lamp as it is being manufactured. ByteLight recently licensed LED manufacturer, Solais, to produce ByteLight-enabled LED lighting for commercial and enterprise building solutions.

This application is really powerful, however, the standard needs to be adopted by smartphone operating systems or major app developers (who wants to use anything other than Google Maps?), but, in the mean-time you’ll be able to download a ByteLight app that can be used wherever ByteLight technology is used. Hopefully, this app will be of comparable quality to other, already established, smartphone mapping apps.

A dedicated curing system for wide format inkjet printers, the new Subzero LED (above) offers ground-breaking performance for air-cooled LED technology combined with the architectural pedigree, features and benefits of the UK-based company’s 2005 launched SubZero UV lamp range.
