Luceco has launched the LuxPanel Connect, positioning it as Europe's first networked lighting panel with Bluetooth-enabled non-luminous control (NLC) technology. The British manufacturer claims this represents a first-to-market entry in the growing segment of connected building automation solutions.
The panel integrates Bluetooth connectivity to enable wireless management of lighting systems without requiring additional luminous feedback devices. This addresses a recognised gap in the smart lighting market, where traditional control panels often demand either hardwired installations or separate control interfaces.
The timing aligns with rising demand from electrical contractors and building integrators seeking streamlined installation processes and reduced material costs. Contractors can deploy networked lighting control with simplified wiring, cutting on-site labour and compliance complexity.
For electrical distributors, the product opens a new product category to stock and promote within the growing smart building segment. Installation specialists should evaluate compatibility with existing Bluetooth mesh ecosystems and protocol standards to assess competitive positioning against emerging alternatives in this space.
