Lightcloud Blue is available in a variety of indoor fixtures such as panels, troffers, downlights, high bays, linear strips, wraps, washdown and many more.
Visit our website for a full list of Lightcloud Blue Enabled fixtures.

MVS stands for “microwave sensor”, these sensors send out constant microwave waves that radiate off different surfaces to calculate the detection zone. As occupants move in and around these detection zones will distrupt the microwave waves and activate the lights to turn on.

PIR stands for “passive infrared”, these sensors detect heat. The sensor uses various detection beams to measure the ambient temperature in the room. As occupants move in and around the space the ambient temperature fluctuates activating the sensor to turn the lights on. As the ambient temperature levels out across all detection beams the light will turn off.

The Lightcloud Blue mobile app will show the settings that the fixture has to offer. The fixture may not have color tuning capabilities or has a manual field adjustable CCT switch. For fixtures with a manually adjustable switch, the app will not show a CCT slider bar.

1. Open and log into the Lightcloud Blue app.
2. Click on the ‘Devices’ tab and select the Area with the sensor you wish to configure.

   • From here you can easily choose from Occupancy, or Vacancy or to disable the sensor.

Optional: Daylight Harvesting
When enabled the sensor will determine to trigger the light(s) on or not based on the daylight threshold level set in the Lightcloud Blue mobile app.

Lightcloud Blue devices have different methods of resetting. For more information see the individual product instructions or visit our User Guide on how to reset devices.

The Lightcloud Blue Controller is a remotely controlled device used to enable switching and dimming. The Controller converts any 0-10V dim to off LED fixture to a Lightcloud Blue-enabled fixture which can be configured and controlled using the Lightcloud Blue mobile app.
