What makes connected lighting connected?

Fundamental descriptions/demystification of what the “connected” in connected lighting means.
Digital connectivity is also the future of lighting. But because it’s in ceilings everywhere from a hospital to a home, in streets, carparks and vehicles – lighting has a far more important role to play.

It will become the smart infrastructure behind seamless connectivity: sensing your smartphone as you enter the building; relaying information from various sensors; tracking your movement through corridors; connecting to your computer as you work; confirming you’ve left the building in an emergency.

Now lighting connectivity options and digital controllers already enable us to check the energy consumption and status of individual LED luminaires – on, off, or even out – and control them via apps. The resulting adaptive lighting saves energy to pay for the service and meet sustainability targets.

And the future will just get brighter.
