“When developing our new generation of LED construction spotlights, we were faced with the challenge of creating robust, glare-free, app-controlled lighting solutions for use on construction sites. B&W Engineering impressed us with their technical expertise and understanding of our requirements. Particularly noteworthy is their support in developing Bluetooth Mesh communication protocols, which enable centralized and flexible lighting control. The collaboration was characterized by open exchange and solution-oriented action—a real benefit for our project.”

Our contribution
For the new generation of intelligent LED construction spotlights, B&W supported the development of an app-controlled lighting solution optimized for demanding construction site use. A key focus was on the development of a Bluetooth mesh-based communication architecture. Here, we designed and implemented a flexible, scalable protocol that enables a large number of lights to be networked wirelessly. The mesh network allows lights to pass information between each other, ensuring stable and fail-safe control even over long distances – without a central control unit. In addition, we integrated functions for group formation, scene control, and dynamic addressing, which enable intuitive operation via an app. Particular attention was paid to energy-efficient data transmission and robust connectivity in industrial environments. The collaboration was characterized by close communication, fast response times, and a solution-oriented approach.
