HONG KONG – The 2018 Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition is in the books. The “THINKLIGHT: Embracing Changes”-themed event featured 2,602 exhibitors from more than 140 countries. The show focused on the latest lighting applications, LED technologies, equipment and components. During a preshow interview, GRE Alpha CEO Executive Director, Richard Fong, expressed that this year’s theme means being, “dynamic, flexible and smart.” The short video elaborates on smart lighting trends with a special focus on how the Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity is changing the landscape.
Several members of the GRE Alpha team joined 165,000 visitors in attendance at the Jun. 9-12 event at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou, China. The team expressed satisfaction with the exposure received by the products featured at the show. “Exhibit visitors showed an increased interest in Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) as a lighting management protocol in China,” said Fong. It is, therefore, no surprise that GRE Alpha’s SLD-DIM-DALI constant voltage dimming module attracted many visitors to the booth. With 255 dimming levels and a wide range DC input, the SLD-DIM-DALI module is efficient and easy to install.
GRE Alpha also co-launched the SLD-DIMTW constant voltage tunable white module for the CITIZEN LCN-C01B with Citizen's COB. This unique dimming module takes a 0-10V/1-10V control signal and produces a smooth, dynamic color temperature shift from 2000K to 8000K. Depending on the application situation, this plug-and-play dimming module creates eye-catching, flicker-free color temperature changing without color distortion.
Not to be outdone, GRE Alpha’s EnOcean dimming modules also received a lot of attention from exhibit visitors. These modules allow for smooth, flicker-free dimming of lighting fixtures utilizing any of EnOcean’s certified Energy Harvesting Wireless Switches. The ENO-DIM module utilizes EnOcean’s proprietary communication frequencies, allowing for noise-free near-instantaneous feedback.
ENO-DIM applications include architectural lighting, effect and contour lighting, general commercial illumination, warehouses, signage, strip lighting and more. The powerful combination of GRE Alpha’s dimming technology and EnOcean's self-powered sensors and switches are poised to revolutionize smart building lighting design.
GRE Alpha’s XLD75 and XLD200 architectural LED drivers were also in the spotlight. These modules feature easy monitoring and installation in a rugged design suitable for harsh environment applications.

Chicago, Il May 7, 2018–GRE Alpha will highlight their innovative LED drivers at the LIGHTFAIR® International Trade Show May 8-10, 2018. More than 27,000 construction and lighting professionals will gather at the McCormick Place for the world’s largest annual architectural and commercial lighting trade show and conference. The event is sponsored by the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD, www.iald.org) and the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES, www.ies.org) and produced and managed by AMC, Inc. (www.americasmart.com). LIGHTFAIR® International brings the industry’s newest and most innovative products and technologies to a global attendee population of lighting designers, specifiers, architects, consultants and engineers from around the world.
Partnering for Success
Officials at GRE expect that this year’s LIGHTFAIR® will be even better than the last. While they will display their products alongside ERG at booth 3679, GRE Alpha representatives will be on site to answer questions and attend the LIGHTFAIR® conference. With a wider selection of products to choose from, they are excited to display their adaptable LED power supplies and dimmers like the Signage Architectural Drivers (XLD 75/ XLD 200) the lighting industry’s only UL Listed LED driver.
These drivers and other products like the 0-10V Surge Protector and dimmer drivers attracted a great bit of attention when shown at lighting fairs in Asia and Europe this spring. Working with a highly regarded distributor like ERG Lighting allows GRE Alpha to bring their latest products and technology to the premier North American trade show and introduce the GRE Alpha North American team based just outside Atlanta.
GRE Drivers for Intelligent Buildings
With smart building technology a dominant driver in lighting design, GRE believes their forward-thinking products such as their SLD-DIM DALI will be a leading force in the driver market.

Hong Kong – April 26, 2018 - More than 220,000 visitors gathered in Frankfurt, Germany, from March 18-23, 2018 to attend Messe Light+Building, the world’s largest trade fair for lighting and building services technology. During the fair, some 2,700 exhibitors displayed the latest products in the fields of lighting and home and building automation. The theme of this year’s event was “Connected-Secure-Convenient”. In this spirit, GRE Alpha presented their latest LED dimming module and driver technology working together with self-powered wireless switches and sensors based on the EnOcean wireless standard for a new era of intelligent building applications. The display was featured at the EnOcean Alliance partner booth in Hall 9.1, stall B60.
The result of a groundbreaking collaboration, GRE Alpha’s ENO-DIM LED dimming modules are compatible with any constant voltage LED driver. They enable smooth, flicker-free dimming of lighting fixtures when paired with any self-powered wireless switches using the EnOcean wireless standard. These switches use the energy created by the touch of a button to send a wireless signal to the ENO-DIM LED dimming module. There are no batteries and no wiring required, and switches can be mounted anywhere. This enables seamless integration when retrofitting existing LED lighting control systems or when building out new smart LED lighting projects.
Self-powered wireless switches using the EnOcean wireless standard operate at a high-reliability frequency band, and therefore enable interference-free and a wide range of up to 30 meters within buildings compared to other RF wireless technologies such as BLE and Zigbee. The ENO-DIM module is available in three regional power supply versions: 902MHz in North America, 928 MHz in Japan, and 868MHz in Europe and China.
“The importance of flexible and maintenance-free solutions for LED lighting control is increasing. Therefore, we are pleased to see the growing use of our energy harvesting technology in more and more applications for LED lighting control. The combination of GRE Alpha´s lighting solution with self-powered wireless switches is further enhancing the ecosystem of products supporting our energy harvesting wireless solutions,” says Jürgen Baryla, Vice President Sales, EnOcean.
Applications using GRE Alpha’s ENO-DIM modules in combination with EnOcean´s self-powered wireless switches include building and architectural lighting, effect and contour lighting, general commercial illumination, warehouses, signage, strip lighting and more. By combining GRE Alpha’s LED power supply and dimming module technology with EnOcean's self-powered wireless sensors and switches, lighting designers can create sustainable intelligent building, home automation, and architectural lighting control systems that are energy-efficient, easy to install, and maintenance-free.
