IRVINE, Calif. \u2013 March 30, 2014 \u2013\u00a0Technical Consumer Products Limited (TCP) today builds on its history of innovation by unveiling a smart home LED lighting system to the European market at Light + Building, Frankfurt in Germany.<\/p>\n
Branded as CONNECTED by TCP\u2122, the product utilises LED lighting and a smart home platform designed by GreenWave Reality to make setup fast and simple. By linking to a home\u2019s Wi-Fi or mobile network, users can control lighting. With functionality available via a smartphone, tablet or computer it provides a convenient solution to energy saving.<\/p>\n
\u201cCONNECTED signals a new era for TCP, our first solution in the smart lighting market,\u201d said Thomas Luecke, President & CEO of TCP Limited. \u201cAs a forward-thinking company we are pushing the boundaries of LED technology, to not only offer high quality lighting but empower consumers to be energy efficient in an ever-increasing digital world.\u201d<\/p>\n
The bulbs can be controlled by a gateway and app that has been developed alongside Greenwave Reality, the global smart home innovator.<\/p>\n
\u201cConsumers desire smart home features as long as they are simple, affordable and useful,\u201d said Greg Memo, CEO of GreenWave Reality. \u201cTogether with TCP we have provided consumers a powerful, personal way to reduce energy consumption while enhancing the comfort in their homes.\u201d<\/p>\n
The intuitive app, which can be set up in minutes, gives consumers a range of controls over their home lighting, including:
\n\u2022 One gateway to control up to 250 bulbs, enabling connection of an entire office or home
\n\u2022 Three levels of access: home, local or wide area network
\n\u2022\u00a0Smart controls for user-defined requirements as well as pre-configured controls:
\n\u2022\u00a0Home, switches all bulbs on
\n\u2022\u00a0Night, switches all bulbs off
\n\u2022\u00a0Away, switches all bulbs off<\/p>\n
The LED bulbs consume around 80 per cent less energy than the traditional incandescent light bulbs, making them energy efficient and smart at the same time.<\/p>\n
