WHY BLUETOOTH NEED MORE POWER
Typically Bluetooth has more power consumption than Zigbee. The reason why Bluetooth has more power consumption is Bluetooth communicates with other device while maintaining connection. So Bluetooth needs continuous power consumption. But Zigbee makes connection when connection is needed. The lighting does not need continues data communication. Its communication occurs intermittently. So Zigbee is more suitable for lighting application. It needs less power consumption.
