SALIOT combines Minebea’s best-in-class hybrid lens technology, circuits and motors with Bluetooth communication to put total lighting control in the palm of the operator. With a few simple touches to a mobile app, SALIOT connected lighting customers can adjust:
• Movement, with full 360 panning and tilting up to 90
• Distribution angle, from as narrow as 10 to as wide as 30
• Color temperature, from 2700K to 5000K
• Dimming, from 0 to 100 percent

By automating an otherwise labor-intensive process, SALIOT enables lighting designers to quickly and efficiently create optimal lighting settings. This unparalleled precision and customization makes SALIOT ideal for commercial applications including retail stores, restaurants, museums and other buildings with frequently changing displays. The product is available in both LED Bluetooth track light and Bluetooth adjustable down light options.

SALIOT demonstrations are available during LIGHTFAIR at the Minebea booth, #7017, located in the Sails Pavilion. SALIOT will also be featured in the Sails Pavilion HUB area during two sessions:
