All About the New Smart Lighting Systems

Smart is the word when talking about technology in any form. From mobile phones to now lighting, everything is becoming much more efficient. Intelligent or smart lighting is a technology that enables its users to control lights through different connected devices such as remote controls, smartphones etc.

A deeper understanding
Smart lighting system is definitely the need of the hour but what exactly is it and how does it help bring a change in the environment. Sensor based smart lights are capable of adjusting the luminosity according to the daylight and the number of people in the room. All this is done with the help of sensors. Since there has been a huge development in the various wireless and sensor based technologies, the upcoming market is expected to be ruled by wireless lighting and a huge growth is anticipated.

The use of smart lighting in different applications
The categorization of smart lighting is done on the basis of its placement. It is suited to indoor and outdoor lighting both. Bikeways, parks, streets, parking lots etc. are examples of outdoor lighting. Recent development has brought about a major change in the overall market for smart systems like LED light controller and many others. This rapid market growth is anticipated to capture majority of the market. This trend is anticipated to generate ample savings in maintenance cost of energy and thus, has a huge inclination from both the public and private sectors.

Similarly, there is an advancement in the indoor lighting as well. A smart lighting system can be easily operated from anywhere and also, the utilization of light sensor switches can help save energy by providing optimum usage. 

Outlook and Future
The current transition in the lighting industry is huge. With lighting going smart, it is no just a matter of sockets, switches and bulbs. The integration of sensors in these lighting systems performs various activities such as human monitoring, balancing the demand and supply fluctuations in power and a lot more.

Lighting systems are currently being driven on technologically advanced algorithms. The increasing trend of smart cities in cooperation with data analytics is anticipated to change the way we use lighting systems forever. Electronic manufacturers are currently partnering with the IT service giants to bring about this change and fill in the gaps about how the users perceive this new technology. The aim of such organizations is to make these technologies more user-friendly and bring about a change in the industry from completely hardware based to software.

Future has a lot more in store with regards to this technology and both the indoor and outdoor lighting systems are believed to do much more than just lighting efficiently. Also, in corporate settings, these lighting systems will give a much higher efficiency in places such a board rooms, cabins and even vacant spaces thereby saving electricity the overall power consumption cost.
