Traditional illumination sources have long been displaced from every part of the global lighting market with introduction of Solid State Lighting (SSL). This transition is going to initiate a new phase of LED adoption through connecting every socket. Though the stakes remain high for the consumers and vendors as well, easier network connectivity and access to power, have made intelligent lighting a perfect platform that brings the internet closer to the life.

The intelligent, networked, sensor laden lights emerging from the future are going to form the central nervous system of every building. Internet of building, on top of next generation lighting systems, is about to change the existing global modules of communications through adoption of intelligent lighting technology.

Intelligent lighting is an automated mechanism that allows the lights to move and create complicated color effects. It can create a lighting arrangement depending on color to match the theme. In theaters, transformation of color of the stage depicting daylight to dusk is conducted through this technology.

Moving heads and scanners are the most up to date technology in the intelligent lighting spectrum. Introduction of intelligent lighting technology has modernized the moving heads to rotate between 360- 180 degrees and thus offers a larger range of movement and lighting output than scanners, according to Celebrations Events.

LEDs have long been available in red and green colors and used as indicator lights in electronic devices such as remote controls. In 1990, blue LEDs have been developed and thus paved the way for producing white lights for the first time. LEDs have been developed recently with a wide spectrum of colors and require no- warm time. Thus smart lighting supersedes all traditional lights (in terms of power consumption) including sodium lights which produce light as a by-product of converting electricity into heat, reports Horizon Magazine.

The price of censors, networking cheap sets and processors, three major components of smart lighting system, has been slashed with introduction of spectacular color- changing LED lighting installations around the globe. A report published in Techcrunch has explained that the bundle of components required making a light enable to sense its environment, acting on that information and sharing it with others, has dropped in price — even more precipitously than the LED devices themselves.

The lighting market has been hit immensely with innovation of lighting apps. The companies who are capable of integrating sensing, networking and control through a single platform in lighting will win the race in lighting market, for sure. The companies, who focus more on hardware developments, will view a blink of extinction shortly.

Intelligent lighting, an automated mechanism that allows the lights to move and create complicated color effects in a bid to thematic color changes, have driven away traditional lighting systems from the market. The intelligent, networked, sensor laden lights are going to form the central nervous system of every building and eventually approaching towards changing the existing communication modules through adoption of this technology.
