McWong and LA Lighting Collaborate to Light Up Innovative Car Culture Event Space

Feb 28, 2022

SACRAMENTO, Calif. February 28, 2022— McWong International, a leading lighting and controls solutions provider, has partnered with LA Lighting to create an LED lighting system, controlled by a Bluetooth mesh wireless network, to bring a unique, one-acre car exhibition, event and storage complex in DTLA (downtown LA), owned and operated by Auto Conduct, to life.
 
The Auto Conduct space hosts events ranging from special model launch events to community toy drives and “roll in” events for car clubs. To create a responsive lighting system capable of showcas­ing a range of vehicles during different times of day and night, the project team created a flexible, white-tunable LED lighting system with embedded Bluetooth mesh con­trols in each fixture.

After close consultation with All-Phase, the project partner for product support and distribu­tion, and the end user, a total of 12 lighting zones were created with four lumi­naires in each zone. Each zone as well as each fixture can be controlled independently from the TruBlu mobile app. Two wireless switches were installed at opposite ends of the event space for convenient white tuning, manual ON/ OFF and dimming control. The LA Lighting fixtures are white tunable from 2700 – 6500K, and their integrated McWong TruBlu controllers enable event managers to highlight specific zones or indi­vidual fixtures with color changes within this range.
 
Ezekiel Wheeler, Auto Conduct’s Founder and CEO, notes, “We wanted to instantly change the mood of an event or be able to showcase a specific area of the floor for a specific vehicle. The goal was to make anyone’s car feel special. This system allows us to do just that.”
