Technology has been on the rise and there have been many changes which have revolutionized the way lighting aspects work. There has been blistering development in the field of lightning. There are many aspects of lightning and it is impossible to cover all of them. The trends have been developing and it is doing impossible things such as helping grow weed hydroponically. The technology has been helping our day to day life. Let us look at some of the biggest trends in the field of lighting.
- Connectivity of lights
With the current developments, the next step in the field of lighting is to control it. With LEDs in the picture, there have been many ways to develop the aspect of controlling the lighting. It would be a great achievement if we can control the way our lighting works. The dimmers and sensors have been in the market for quite a long time now and the challenge is to make them more sophisticated and work with other devices. Also, it is imperative to make sure that people use them. It is believed that the best benefit will be energy saving. It is an interesting field and we should look towards it.
- Use of internet
We all have been using internet for many years now. It has evolved over the years and its uses have increased. Of late a term has been used, the internet of things. It means that when the computers and smartphones are not the only items that are connected to the web. It also means that you can connect your other electronic stuff such as a coffee cup, fridge, LED lights and even the heart monitor to the internet. Lighting is the ideal setup for this word and the services can be further built on this. The necessary items are already available and all you need is to add the necessary sensors and cameras along with a data connection to complete the setup.
- Built-in light sources
As we all know LED light sources do not need to be replaced very often. They have been manufactured by companies in a certain design and for certain uses only. However, there is always a chance that there can be different modules that can be made which will not be useful. The chances are that they might fail. Many companies are trying to change this and are coming up with different designs and ideas for better implementation.
- Power technologies
There are many new power technologies which have been developed. Till now LED luminaires had a driver in the setup which converted the electricity into a form of light which can be used to light up the area. The biggest pain point is the failure of the drivers. Different companies have come up with different types of solutions. Some have used different technologies to help overcome this problem.
- Retrofit lamps
LED lamps have been in the trend and a lot of manufacturers have developed the same. The companies have always thought about the saturation of the market. The only way to be in the market is by improving the product further. The companies have been working on making the lamps better through internet connectivity, color changing options and many more.
- Using no wires
Going wireless is latest ask and we cannot make lighting control an exception to it. The retrofit projects can very much benefit from this. Other aspects which can benefit are radio based frequency system, power line communication, and others. Everyone likes to the have user control devices on a tablet or a smartphone.
- Healthier lighting
Lighting plays a major role in the productivity of the people at work and also recovery from illness. With the boost in the sale of LED, it is making it easier and cheaper for the manufacturers to use this knowledge and to improve on this. They can also promote products which are good for health and try to mimic natural light as much as they can.
Summary
As we can lighting is going to play an important part in our life and with more innovations, it would be easier to save and improve our way of living.
