LED lighting technology has made impressive leaps in recent years, and it doesn’t show any signs of slowing down anytime soon. The advancements are on the horizon will seemingly make the user experience better while also improving internet access and helping us continue the decrease in energy used. Here are a few innovations to look forward to:
Human-Centric Lighting
LED lighting has been moving in the direction of human control. Essentially, this technology will allow people to create their own ideal lighting environment by controlling and monitoring an LED lighting system. For example, LED contains blue light, which draws out the sensation of being awake, thus making it harder to fall asleep. However, LED can also produce a red light, which will naturally help you fall asleep because of the light’s effect on your melatonin production.
This goes beyond just the bedroom too – people will have the ability to control the shade of the light, allowing them to find the perfect color for them based on their given situation. Another innovation is the dimming feature, which senses the natural light available and adjusts the brightness of the bulbs.
Li-Fi Technology
Li-Fi, short for Light Fidelity, is a wireless communication technology that uses light to transmit data between devices. This technology has the potential to replace Wi-Fi as it can transmit data significantly faster. Li-Fi-enabled LED lighting could potentially become a popular way for homes and businesses to connect to the internet. Li-Fi is still a very new technology, but it has the potential to make major waves in the coming years.
Internet-Enabled Lighting
As the technology improves over time, internet-enabled LED lighting has become more popular. It seems likely that trend will continue. This technology eliminates the need for direct wiring, instead making use of wireless switches. The bulbs are connected to a network and can be controlled via smartphone or tablet.
This will give people even greater control over their lighting, allowing them to remotely control lighting schedules. Such an innovation is perfect for both indoor and outdoor lights at homes and businesses alike.
