Lighting 2.0 can communicate and interact with its environment and the people or things in it, opening up entirely new possibilities and turning lighting infrastructure into a delivery platform for different types of services

→ With more uncertainties than ready answers, navigating the hectic smart lighting space is an enormous challenge

→ But not having relevant products ready on store shelves when customer demand explodes could have tremendous consequences for an unprepared manufacturer

→ By 2020, smart LED revenues will account for 30% of total LED revenues (ABI research)

→ The global smart lighting market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 15.9% between 2014 and 2020, reaching USD 56.6 billion by the end of that period (Transparency Market Research)

Why does smart lighting matter?

→ In 2025, the global economic benefits delivered by the broad IoT segment will reach between $3.9 and $11.1 trillion (McKinsey Global Institute)

→ At the top end, this value would represent 11% of the world economy

→ 1 in 3 U.S. adults will adopt smart home solutions within the next three years and over half of likely adopters are planning to purchase smart wireless LED light bulbs within the next two years(ON World’s consumer survey, August 2015)

The LED revolution made the lighting business more demanding than it used to be:

→ impressive longevity of LEDs drastically reduces the number of replacement orders

→ manufacturers of semiconductor technologies entered the market and immediately exerted their influence on shaping prices

→ market share has eroded for the major players

→ profit margins have lowered

→ Amid downward-trending prices and limited price competition opportunities, the ability to provide groundbreaking value-added features has emerged as the best way to gain competitive advantage

→ With additional revenue-generating services enabled by Lighting 2.0, a gradual transition towards smart solutions becomes a natural direction for the entire lighting industry

What’s GOING TO change?

→ The smart revolution will heavily impact the entire value chain of the lighting industry:

→ end users (building owners / operators)

→ specifiers (designers, architects / consulting engineers, electrical contractors)

→ installers

→ manufacturers

Replacing wires with software and connectivity:

→ revolutionizes the way end users interact with the lighting infrastructure

→ significantly reduces installation costs for building owners

→ opens up new possibilities for lighting designers, allowing them to craftspaces with unprecedented freedom

→ allows contractors to bring designs to life more easily, quickly and at lower cost

→ fully opens up the retrofit business by preventing major reconstruction works

→ will shake up the lighting and construction industries worldwide

Maintenance of complex lighting systems becomes significantly easier and cheaper:

→ real-time feedback from individual smart devices (e.g. luminaires) regarding their status and operation

→ diagnostics and early detection of problems

→ monitoring of performance against manufacturers’ guarantees

→ compliance with new and changing codes and standards ensured by software updates via over-the-air update capability

Energy Savings

→ occupancy sensing → zoning

→ smart controls → data analytics

→ daylight harvesting → predictive models

→ scheduling → usage patterns

“Smart solid-state lighting in office buildings and industrial installations has the potential to reduce energy costs by 90%” Dean Freeman, research vice president at Gartner

→ Information infrastructure

Smart lighting network becomes a building–wide information infrastructure capable of generating large amounts of data

Collected data can be used to introduce major improvements across numerous other systems and processes

Countless value-added features depending on the type of business:

→ influencing shopping patterns by balancing color temperature

→ mimicking sunlight levels throughout the day to adjust the ambience to customers' natural day cycle

→ accurate indoor positioning

Ever since Bluetooth Smart technology was introduced, we have considered it to be the perfect enabler for smart lighting ecosystems:

→ ultra low power consumption

→ reliable connectivity

→ government-grade security

→ cost effectiveness

→ massive brand awareness

→ enormous installed base of Bluetooth enabled devices already available on the market

→ global standard for Bluetooth mesh networking technology arriving in 2016

The mesh relays messages across the entire network, enabling seamless connectivity and making the lighting environment truly smart and interoperable. Devices form a native, flexible system and are capable of talking directly to each other

→ trouble-free setup

→ multicast groups

→ multicast scenes

→ scalability

→ no single point of failure

→ state of the art security

Major challenge for vendors:

Managing smart lighting environment must be as easy and intuitive as possible. Next-generation lighting controls cannot be much more complicated than the lighting control systems people have used for decades

Common pitfalls:

→ complicated on-wall LCD controls

→ dedicated specialists required to introduce adjustments to a smart lighting network

→ miles of wires between sensors, switches and lamps

→ narrow applications failing to realize the full potential of the IoT
