LED Bluetooth Mesh Controller — Scalable Gateway-Free Lighting Network
Deploy wireless LED lighting control across entire buildings without WiFi access points, cloud dependencies, or proprietary gateways. The BrightLink Bluetooth Mesh controller uses SIG-certified Bluetooth 5.0 mesh networking to create self-healing, multi-hop lighting networks of up to 250 nodes from a single mobile app connection. Each controller delivers 5A per channel across 5 output channels — supporting single-color, CCT, RGB, RGBW, and RGBCCT strip configurations with 4 kHz flicker-free PWM output.
Key Features
- Bluetooth 5.0 Mesh (SIG certified) — Industry-standard protocol ensures multi-vendor interoperability; nodes relay messages across the mesh extending effective range far beyond direct Bluetooth distance
- 250-node network capacity — A single mesh network supports up to 250 controller nodes, covering multi-floor commercial buildings from one app connection point
- Self-healing topology — When nodes are added, removed, or fail, the mesh automatically reroutes communication paths without manual reconfiguration or network downtime
- Gateway-free operation — No internet connection, cloud subscription, or dedicated hub required; the mobile app connects directly to any node via Bluetooth and relays commands through the mesh
- 8 groups × 16 scenes — Organize controllers into logical groups (by floor, zone, or function) and store 16 lighting scenes for one-touch recall across the entire group simultaneously
- Circadian rhythm scheduling — Built-in scheduler adjusts color temperature from warm 2700K in the evening to cool 6500K during daytime hours, with sunrise/sunset automation based on GPS location
- AES-128 encryption — All mesh communications are encrypted, preventing unauthorized control of the lighting network from outside the building
- 4 kHz PWM output — High-frequency dimming eliminates visible flicker and camera-band interference, critical for offices, studios, and healthcare environments

Applications
- Multi-room residential projects — Whole-home LED lighting controlled from a single app without installing WiFi access points in every room
- Co-working & flexible office spaces — Group controllers by desk cluster or meeting room; scene presets switch between “focus,” “collaboration,” and “presentation” modes
- Retail chain store lighting — Standardized Bluetooth Mesh protocol allows the same controller model across all locations with consistent app-based management
- Restaurant & café networks — Automate warm ambient lighting for dinner service and brighter cleaning-mode scenes on a schedule, without internet dependency
- Healthcare & senior living facilities — Circadian-tuned lighting supports patient wellbeing; gateway-free architecture simplifies IT compliance and reduces network security surface
Installation Notes
Mount each controller near the LED strip it controls, powered by the same DC power supply. Use the mobile app to scan and pair with the nearest node via Bluetooth. Once paired, additional nodes join the mesh automatically when powered on within range of any existing node — no manual pairing sequence is required for subsequent units. Assign nodes to groups and configure scenes through the app’s drag-and-drop interface. For projects exceeding 50 nodes, BrightLink recommends deploying at least 3 “edge” nodes near the building perimeter to ensure mesh coverage.
