“Advancements in Smart Lighting & IoT Integration”
- A key trend is the integration of AI, wireless protocols (Zigbee, Bluetooth Mesh), and cloud-based lighting management systems, enabling real-time adaptive control.
- These innovations enhance energy efficiency (up to 80% savings) and user customization through automated scheduling, occupancy sensing, and daylight harvesting.
- For instance, On March 12, 2021, Henry Wong of the Bluetooth SIG highlighted barriers in the commercial connected lighting sector, including the need for customer education, proper staff training, and achieving open interoperability. While the technology promises advanced control, energy efficiency, and data-driven insights, challenges such as proprietary systems and high deployment costs are restraining mass adoption and hindering full market potential
- Such advancements are transforming smart homes, offices, and cities, driving demand for next-gen lighting control systems with predictive analytics and voice control (Alexa/Google Assistant).
