Dialog launches platform for intelligent led lighting

The technology is claimed to be the first to directly support wireless connectivity and light sensor control. It also allows easy integration into lighting control systems. The first device to come out of the new range is the iW6401, which supports multiple dimming interfaces, including digital dimming via a simple main on/off switch, the new Ledotron digital dimming protocol, and toggle switch based dimming. Using a standard I²C digital interface, the iW6401 can serve as a frontend for wireless communication modules such as low energy Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or ZigBee. Additionally, intelligent sensor devices enabling colour or proximity sensing can be directly connected. When such a peripheral device is used, the integrated power management unit in the iW6401 provides a stable power source, reducing the external component count and cost.
