WePower Technologies and Focus SB Unveil Battery-Free Wireless Lighting Controller

In a groundbreaking collaboration, WePower Technologies and Focus SB Ltd have announced a revolutionary solution that is poised to transform the world of lighting control. This new wireless lighting controller, which operates completely without batteries, made its debut at CES 2026, where it drew significant attention for its innovative design and ease of use.

Traditionally, lighting systems have relied heavily on batteries and complex wiring systems, which can complicate installation and elevate maintenance costs. However, the newly launched controller incorporates the advanced Gemns™ G300 energy harvester, allowing it to convert everyday user interactions into usable electrical energy. This eliminates the need for batteries altogether, thereby greatly simplifying system design and functionality.

Key Features

The battery-free lighting controller boasts several key benefits that distinguish it from conventional products:
1. Battery-Free Operation: Users will no longer need to purchase, replace, or dispose of batteries, leading to reduced environmental waste and long-term cost savings.
2. No Power Wiring Required: The solution is designed for easy retrofit into existing in-wall gang boxes, allowing for seamless upgrades without the hassle and cost of running new electrical wiring.
3. Flexibility in Design: The wireless nature of the controller enables a high degree of flexibility in system design and installation, maintaining aesthetic integrity without sacrificing functionality.
4. Cost Efficiency: By reducing the need for wiring and labor during installation, the overall costs associated with both new installations and upgrades are significantly lowered.
5. Maintenance-Free Design: The design eliminates ongoing maintenance needs, making it a practical solution for both residential and commercial environments.
6. Sustainability Focus: The technology promotes sustainability by reducing electronic waste, aligning with long-term environmental goals.

How It Works

The core technology utilized in this wireless lighting controller is the Gemns energy harvesting platform. This innovative system harnesses energy from user interactions, such as flipping a switch, to power the lighting system without any external electricity supply. This feature not only streamlines installation processes but also avoids future hassle related to battery maintenance and replacement, thus addressing common pain points associated with traditional lighting controls.

Larry Richenstein, the Founder and CEO of WePower Technologies, emphasized the sanity behind this innovation. “Battery replacement and power wiring are two of the biggest hidden costs in modern lighting control,” he explained. “By combining our Gemns G300 energy harvesting platform with Focus SB Ltd’s premium design features, we are offering an easily installable and visually appealing solution that operates wirelessly and eliminates the need for batteries.”

Furthermore, Ciaran Mitchell, Managing Director at Focus SB Ltd, noted the rich history of collaboration between the two companies. They have worked together on previous projects in the premium automotive sector, which laid the foundation for their current foray into architectural lighting. “This project combines our meticulous design philosophy with cutting-edge battery-free wireless technology,” Mitchell stated. “It removes the limitations posed by traditional systems without compromising user experience.”

CES 2026: A Platform for Innovation

Attendees at CES 2026 can see the battery-free wireless lighting controller demonstrated live at booth 8425 in the North Hall. The collaboration between WePower Technologies and Focus SB Ltd promises to reshape the landscape of lighting control, emphasizing energy efficiency, sustainability, and multifunctionality.

With advancements like these, the future of smart and sustainable lighting seems brighter, heralding a new era where innovation and environmentally-friendly solutions go hand in hand. For more information on this product or to explore other innovations, visit WePower Technologies and Focus SB Ltd.
