Lessons Learned
• Focus group feedback is key
• Test multiple lamps from multiple LED vendors
and incumbent tech
• Payback is important but comfort and societal
benefits are also considerations

ADAPTIVE LIGHTING
A lighting system that responds to the environment in determining the brightness,
temperature, and color of light, using occupancy detection and current light levels.
Using a light sensor unit will be set on a table or the area to be illuminated.
These sensors will wirelessly transmit to a microcontroller which will control
ceiling-mounted LEDs. The feedback from the sensors will keep the desired
color and intensity at the area of interest, so that if there is sufficient sunlight,
the LEDs need not consume as much power

The Future of LEDs
Residential Motion Sensor
Why pay for electricity you're not using? The Bug Plug's eyes are
motion sensors; when they don't sense you moving in the
room for several minutes, the device will automatically turn off
the electronics connected to it by a power strip.
Electric Piggy Bank
The Power-Hog is a piggy bank with a unique twist--kids feed it coins and it doles
out 30 minutes of electricity. Would they play video games all night if they knew
it would cost a week's allowance?
Residential or Commercial
Do you sometimes forget to turn off the lights? No problem--the
Blink plug will do it for you. Its rotating eye senses natural
sunlight, then turns off devices like fans in the morning and
turns on nightlights at dusk.
Power Over Ethernet = POE
•
•
•
Security Cameras
Network Routers
Lighting Controllers
Power over Ethernet or PoE describes a standardized system to pass electrical power
along with data on Ethernet cabling. This allows a single cable to provide both data
connection and electrical power to such devices as network hubs or closed-circuit TV
cameras.
The Future for LED Lighting
Just a few years ago, the industry said:
“LEDs will continue to be a niche market and will never be a full lighting option fluorescent & incandescent will dominate”
Today: “LED fixtures and bulbs are major market players and
- fluorescents & incandescent are becoming the niche market”

lamp has:
magnetic or electronic ballast?
