Smart lighting offers many compelling benefits, ranging from aesthetic reasons to practical applications. As more smart LEDs make their way into offices and commercial facilities, more business owners are realizing their ability to cut costs and improve the sustainability of their operations.
Smart lighting installations allow you to control the brightness of your lights remotely or automatically, depending on your desired settings for specific situations. In commercial buildings, this can translate to significant energy savings, what with lighting accounting for up to 38 percent of the total energy output.
Not only that, dimming your lights by just 50 percent can increase the lifespan of each lamp by up to 20 times and help offices save up to 60 percent on energy consumption. Smart light bulbs can also be optimized brightness for daylight harvesting, which refers to automatically adjusting the brightness of your lighting depending on how much natural light is present.
And because most smart lighting systems use LEDs, you get superior energy efficiency when compared to incandescent bulbs and compact fluorescent lamps. When offices and workspaces are either too bright or dim, it can affect the productivity of workers. With employees depending on their vision to get things done, whether it’s writing things down on paper, working in front of a computer, or operating heavy machinery, lighting naturally affects how efficiently and safely they can get their jobs done.
Being able to control lighting in different sections of the office or in individual workstations offers the flexibility to satisfy the needs of each worker, which, in turn, allows them to concentrate and stay productive
The motion sensors that come with smart lighting systems also ensure that employees enter well-lit places without having to fumble for the lights in the dark. As working hours end, the lights will then automatically switch off after people leave the room.
Not only does lighting improve productivity and safety, it also shapes the mood of employees and customers alike. For example, slightly dimming the lights in restaurants creates an intimate and romantic mood for dinners. In retail stores, creative lighting through spotlights, colors, or dimming can emphasize products and displays.
Storeowners can even set lighting schedules to ensure a systematic and flexible lighting design without having to rely on someone to manually switch the lights on and off all the time. Installing traditional lighting systems in a room or building can consume time. But with smart LEDs, installation is as simple as taking out old bulbs and screwing in new ones. There is usually no need for rewiring as smart LED systems depend on wireless networks for control.
If you are interested in saving resources or creating a safer environment for your business, choose LED lighting. Commercial smart lighting is perfect for a wide range of commercial applications, including everything from office lighting to manufacturing lighting. Choose an effective smart lighting solution with a professional Commercial Lighting Contractor.
