100 microwatts
The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.
Bluetooth beacon average draw
A representative 0.1 mW time-averaged draw for a low-duty-cycle Bluetooth beacon. Advertising interval, transmit power, sleep current and supply losses dominate the result.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked average electrical draw is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Why these numbers?
The visual compares power with average electrical draw. The records below preserve each value’s basis and caveats.

- Comparing
- Power ↔ Average electrical draw
- Relative size
- The two selected measurements are approximately equal.
How to read the visual
The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.
- Bluetooth beacon average draw uses a 100 µW central value within a recorded range of 10 µW–10 mW.
- Bluetooth beacon average draw is labelled representative; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
- The recorded ranges overlap, so the ordering can vary even though the central values differ.
