DL01 Bluetooth Mesh Dimmable LED Downlight
GLOW-D series · Bluetooth mesh · 10W-30W · UGR22 Ra90 · 38/60° beams
The GLOW-D DL01-BLE is a bluetooth mesh dimmable LED downlight for retail stores that adds wireless dimming to the proven DL01 comfort housing — staff set brightness, groups and timers from a phone app while shoppers keep the same soft UGR22 light of this dimmable anti-glare downlight.
This BLE mesh wireless downlight covers 10W to 30W (1450lm to 4300lm) at up to 150lm/W with CRI Ra90, in the same 105mm to 200mm cutouts as the wired family — so a running store gains app scenes, presence trimming and evening levels with no new control cable between fittings.
- Bluetooth mesh dimming, phone app + wireless wall switch
- UGR<22 anti-glare, Ra90, 38°/60° — comfort kept at every level
- 10W-30W, 1450-4300lm, same cutouts Ø105-200mm as DL01

Why DL01-BLE for Retail Stores
Evening scenes without closing the store for rewiring
Running shops cannot close for a rewire, and that is exactly where the DL01-BLE wins. Each head keeps its existing mains supply and takes dimming commands over the air — scenes, groups and timers are provisioned from a phone, so ceilings stay closed and trading continues while the system learns the floor. It drops into any retail lighting plan combining downlights and track lights as the wireless comfort layer, and zones regroup in software when the layout changes.
Precision is not sacrificed for convenience. Inside the fitting a standardized Bluetooth-to-DALI path drives the LED the same way wired DALI does — deep smooth fades, bidirectional energy reporting and gateway bridging where a wired DALI backbone already exists. For whole-building rollouts read the BLE wireless dimming solution for larger retail rollouts first; for single-shop refits the DL01-BLE alone is enough: for new-build central control see wired DALI, if retrofit see DL01-BLE.
Phone provisions the mesh — fittings relay scenes to each other
DL01-BLE Bluetooth Mesh vs Wired Control Comparison
The figures below translate our 1,000 sqm store model — 230 fittings at 5.4 kW baseline under 500-750 lux — into downlight terms, so buyers compare like with like instead of brochure claims.
| Topic | DL01-BLE mesh | Wired DALI | 0-10V analog |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unit premium (end-user) | +$5 per head, about $1,150 extra across a 230-fitting rollout | +$20 per head, about $4,600 plus control-wire labor | Cheapest driver, but control line plus dimmer hardware on top |
| Control wiring | Mains only; scenes travel over the air | Mains plus a polarity-free control pair to every head, max 64 drivers per bus | Mains plus an analog pair per zone; long runs sag and brightness drifts between heads |
| Install and commissioning | Swap heads, bind with two power cycles, provision zones from a phone; days not weeks, up to 75% lower install cost | Pull bus cable, address every driver with commissioning software; zones shut down while ceilings are open | Pull analog line and wire wall dimmers; no software, but one knob per fixed zone |
| Grouping and regrouping | Up to 4000 nodes per network; move a fitting-room scene to a new display wall in the app in minutes | Regroup by re-addressing the bus or rewiring; layout changes mean ceiling work | Regroup by rewiring dimmer circuits; hardware-fixed zones |
| Dimming feel and scenes | 1-100% flicker-free with 0-6s soft fades, schedules, presence and daylight trimming | Precise deep fade to dark with scheduled scenes from a central controller | Basic dimming curve that falls apart below 30% with visible flicker risk near the bottom |
| Feedback and data | Energy and diagnostics ride the mesh; a gateway bridges existing DALI gear where present | Native two-way reporting per fitting plus automated emergency-test routines | One-way only; no energy or fault data comes back |
| Best for | Retail refits that trade daily and regroup seasonally | New builds with open conduits and strict commissioning specs | Single-zone budget jobs with static layouts |
Install and Grouping Without Closing the Store
Swap heads by day, bind zones by night, trade throughout
A DL01-BLE refit follows the trading day instead of fighting it. Mornings swap the 10-30W heads onto the existing mains supply and the same 105mm to 200mm cutouts — no new holes, no new cable trays. Evenings bind each zone with two power cycles while cleaners move through the floor, and the phone app learns every head in minutes. The store opens next morning on daytime scenes; nobody cordons off an aisle for electricians.
Group by how the floor sells, not by how the wires run:
- Fitting rooms — share one calm zone.
- Aisles and window displays — share a daylight-trimmed zone.
- Checkouts — hold steady on their own.
When the season flips the layout, the manager drags fittings between zones in software instead of calling a contractor. Presence sensors trim empty corridors automatically, and a gateway is only needed if head office wants remote schedules across branches.
Retail Scenes on One System
Fitting rooms, aisles and windows run different levels
DL01-BLE Retail Zones on One Mesh
One mesh covers three moods with no wall of dimmer racks.
- Fitting rooms — 38-degree calm pools. Give fitting rooms calm 38-degree pools at reduced evening levels so fabrics read true without harsh top light.
- Aisles and window displays — 60-degree wash. Let 60-degree heads wash aisles and window displays brighter during trading hours, then drop the whole floor to presence-trimmed night levels after close.
- Window zones — daylight trimming. Window zones follow daylight with sensor trimming while interiors hold steady.
Checkout queues and counters keep steady comfort light because queues move slowly and faces matter at the till.
When the season changes, regroup zones in the app instead of relamping — move a fitting-room scene to the new denim wall in minutes. Aimable accent heads still handle the hero displays: pair this comfort layer with the IRIS-G tiltable grille downlight for retail displays where light must follow merchandise weekly.
FAQ
Quick answers about the DL01-BLE wireless option
The housing, optic and light quality are identical — same deep anti-glare UGR22 housing, 10-30W housings, 38/60-degree beams and Ra90 color. The difference sits in the driver: the DL01-BLE adds a Bluetooth mesh node that dims over the air and talks to a DALI gateway where wired DALI gear already exists. The DL01-BLE ships exactly this wireless option on the same cutouts from 105mm to 200mm.
Yes — that is the whole point of the DL01-BLE for stores that cannot close for rewiring. Each head keeps its mains supply and takes dimming commands over Bluetooth mesh from an app, wall switch or sensor, so ceilings stay closed and trading continues. The DL01-BLE retrofit needs no new control cable between fittings.
Choose Bluetooth mesh for refits and fast rollouts: phone provisioning, zone regrouping without touching wires, and schedules that follow opening hours. Choose wired DALI for new builds with a central controller and strict commissioning specs. Where both exist, the DL01-BLE bridges them through a standardized Bluetooth-to-DALI gateway. On site, follow the BLE mesh bulk commissioning guide for lighting projects. If other protocols are on the table, read the Zigbee vs BLE mesh vs WiFi retrofit comparison first. The DL01-BLE keeps UGR22 comfort whichever path you pick.
Three ways, all live at once: the phone app sets brightness, groups and timers; a wireless wall switch recalls daytime and evening scenes at the door; occupancy and daylight sensors trim empty aisles automatically. Staff never open an electrical cabinet. The DL01-BLE stores scenes per zone, so fitting rooms and window displays run different levels from one system.
Use 10-15W heads with the 38-degree beam over fitting rooms and counters for calm defined pools, and 20-30W heads with the 60-degree beam for sales-floor wash — the 30W unit delivers 4300lm for high lobbies. The DL01-BLE covers exactly this range in the same 105mm to 200mm cutouts as the standard family.
No. Dimming only lowers output — the deep-set optic still shields the source, so the ceiling stays UGR22 at every level, and Ra90 color holds while dimmed for evening scenes. The DL01-BLE dims from full output to a low evening glow with no visible flicker on merchandise.
Take the 1,000 sqm store model: the BLE path adds about $5 per head ($1,150 across 230 fittings) and banks 30% energy — 7,096 kWh or $1,419 a year at $0.2 per kWh — which pays back in roughly 9.7 months. The wired DALI path banks the same saving but starts at $20 per head plus wiring, stretching payback to about 39 months. The DL01-BLE carries exactly this BLE math into the downlight ceiling.
No. The mesh is local: up to 4000 nodes relay for each other with no single point of failure and no cloud account, and the phone provisions fittings directly. Add a networked gateway when you need auto time sync and remote control across branches; for fully local use, a separate timer handles timed smart scene switching. The DL01-BLE runs its zones offline either way.
