Human-controlled LED lighting
In the future, LED lighting will be more human-controlled or human-centric. With such lighting technology, people will be able to create the most effective lighting environment for them. Users will be able to control and monitor the LED lighting system in many different ways.
People can tune the colours for their LED lighting. Generally, the illumination of LED light is white, smooth and broad compared to other lighting technologies. The illumination of LED is more similar to the daylight from the sun.
The colour of light aligns with the human’s circadian rhythms. LED lighting contains more blue light which is also present in the sun than incandescent lighting. This blue light hinders the production of melatonin which is the hormone that causes sleep and produces an overall sensation of being woke.
On the other hand, LED lighting can also produce red light that allows the production of melatonin and induces a sense of sleepiness. So, the feature of tuning the colour of LED lighting can be beneficial and even more beneficial in places like hospitals. So, in the future, the colour tuning feature of LED lighting will be explored and utilized.
Another way to control the LED lighting is to control the dimming feature of LED light bulbs. The lighting technology would sense the ambient light present in the room and adjust the brightness of bulbs and fixtures based on the light already there in the room due to open windows and other sources.
Another human-controlled LED lighting technology is the occupancy-sensing capability. With the occupancy-sensing capability, LED lighting technology would be able to sense whether the room is empty or not.
The lights can be turned off if there is no occupancy to save energy. The brightness of the light can be adjusted based on the occupancy of the room. For occupancy-sensing capability, the motion or heat can be sensed.
So, such a feature would not only be helpful for users but also the environment.
