GUANGZHOU, China – June 10, 2026 – At the 31st Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition (GILE 2026), uPowerTek is presenting a new generation of intelligent LED driver technologies developed to address some of the most demanding challenges in high-power lighting applications.
Showcased at Booth D22, Hall 2.2, the latest product portfolio highlights innovations in sports lighting, horticulture lighting, smart street lighting, and architectural lighting, with a strong focus on efficiency, controllability, and long-term reliability.
As lighting systems continue to evolve beyond basic illumination, today’s projects require higher power levels, greater intelligence, and more application-specific functionality. uPowerTek’s latest solutions are designed to help luminaire manufacturers and lighting designers meet these evolving demands while improving overall system performance.
RGBW Sports Lighting Drivers Bring New Possibilities to Modern Stadiums
The highlight of this year’s showcase is uPowerTek’s latest RGBW Sports Lighting Driver platform, covering power levels from 300W to 2000W.
Modern sports venues increasingly demand more than high-quality illumination. Stadium owners and event organizers are seeking dynamic lighting experiences capable of enhancing fan engagement, creating memorable event atmospheres, and supporting entertainment-driven venue operations.
Designed for professional stadiums, arenas, and entertainment venues, uPowerTek’s RGBW Sports Lighting Drivers combine high-power performance with advanced RGBW color control, enabling immersive lighting effects that go far beyond traditional white-light sports lighting.
Supporting DMX/RDM communication and Quick Flashing functionality, the platform allows lighting designers to create synchronized light shows, team-color displays, pre-game ceremonies, goal celebrations, and other dynamic visual experiences while maintaining the reliability required for demanding outdoor installations.
Engineered for harsh outdoor environments, the series features up to 20kV surge protection and IP67-rated construction, ensuring dependable performance under extreme weather conditions worldwide.
Multi-Channel Horticulture Drivers Deliver Greater Precision and Efficiency
As horticulture lighting continues moving toward spectrum-specific cultivation strategies, multi-channel control has become an essential tool for greenhouse and vertical farming operators.
uPowerTek’s latest horticulture platform supports up to four independently controlled output channels, allowing growers to precisely manage red, blue, white, far-red, and supplemental lighting according to different crop species and growth stages.
A key innovation introduced at GILE 2026 is uPowerTek’s proprietary Power Transfer Technology. When one channel operates below its maximum output, unused power can be dynamically redistributed to other active channels. This helps maximize driver utilization and improves overall lighting efficiency without requiring oversized power systems.
Additional features include up to 96% conversion efficiency, Glow-Free Dim Off technology for complete darkness during plant resting periods, and Low Inrush Current design that helps reduce breaker requirements and installation costs.
Together, these technologies provide growers with greater flexibility, lower operating costs, and improved crop management capabilities.
D4i Street Lighting Solutions Ready for Smarter Cities
For municipal and roadway lighting applications, uPowerTek is showcasing its D4i-ready LED driver platform ranging from 30W to 400W.
Built around the D4i ecosystem, the solution enables seamless integration with smart city infrastructure, supporting luminaire data access, remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and simplified asset management.
The platform is designed to operate reliably in some of the world’s most challenging environments, supporting cold starts down to -55°C and stable operation in extreme outdoor conditions.
Combined with 10kV surge protection and IP67-rated protection, the solution provides municipalities and infrastructure operators with long-term reliability and reduced maintenance requirements.
Constant Voltage Solutions Simplify Architectural Lighting Projects
uPowerTek is also presenting its latest dimmable constant voltage LED drivers for architectural, landscape, and linear lighting applications.
Covering power levels from 60W to 800W, the series supports adjustable 24V, 36V, and 48V outputs, allowing designers and installers to adapt to a wide variety of LED strip and architectural lighting systems.
One of the most common challenges in large-scale linear lighting projects is voltage drop across long cable runs. To address this issue, uPowerTek developed its proprietary Long Distance Stability technology, helping maintain consistent brightness while reducing installation complexity and wiring costs.
The series also delivers ultra-smooth 1% dimming performance with flicker-free operation, making it ideal for premium commercial, hospitality, landscape, and façade lighting projects.
Driving the Future of High-Power Lighting
Visitors to Booth D22 can experience live demonstrations of these technologies and discuss project-specific requirements with uPowerTek’s engineering and sales teams throughout GILE 2026.
As lighting systems become increasingly intelligent, connected, and application-focused, uPowerTek remains committed to developing LED driver solutions that help customers achieve higher performance, greater efficiency, and improved reliability.
Guided by the philosophy of making high-power lighting SMART & RELIABLE, uPowerTek continues to invest in innovation that supports the future of sports lighting, horticulture lighting, smart city infrastructure, and architectural illumination worldwide.
