Led Lighting Set to Lead Global Smart Lighting Market to a Bright Future

Smart lighting consists of lighting systems that can remotely monitored to keep a tab on their energy consumption. This has emerged as a key area to help reduce global energy consumption, which has reached unsustainable levels. Since lighting systems don’t constitute a major portion of total energy consumption of any individual complex, this may seem like an unnecessary step. However, lighting systems are present in an overwhelming majority of households around the world, the potential cumulative impact of smart lighting systems rather more conspicuous.

Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) are the dominant type of smart lighting. However, LED lighting has emerged in recent years as a key smart lighting solution and is expected to upend CFLs as the dominant smart lighting device in the coming years. Here’s why:

LED Lighting is Efficient

LED lighting systems consist of diodes. These systems utilize the principle of electroluminescence, which is the phenomenon of a material emitting light when an electric current is passed through it.

In contrast, incandescent lighting is based on, as the name suggests, the principle of incandescence, which is the phenomenon of a material radiating light upon heating. Thus, incandescent lighting generates light by resisting the passage of electricity, whereas electroluminescent lighting generates light by allowing the passage of electricity. Resisting an electrical current inevitably generates heat, which means that incandescent lighting in inherently a highly inefficient source of light. LED lighting, on the other hand, is extremely efficient, since no heat is generated during their operation.
