Green Outdoor Lighting and Indoor Lighting Future Advancements
LED technology continues to transform all aspects of commercial lighting. Here are five trends to expect in the future.
1. Lighting will be used to improve the productivity and health of employees.
Researchers have already been testing the effect of bringing outdoor lighting conditions indoors. Studies have shown that mimicking outdoor lighting may boost concentration, productivity and well-being.
2. Smart glass will save energy.
Smart glass regulates heat and glare within commercial buildings, thus reducing the amount of energy required to keep such buildings comfortable and well-lit. The market for smart glass is growing rapidly, and experts predict it will continue to expand.
3. Solar-powered streetlights will grow in popularity.
Solar-powered streetlights are the perfect option for newly-constructed roadways and commercial buildings. By utilizing this green outdoor lighting option, builders can save money and help the environment.
4. LED options for fluorescent tube lighting will become available.
Thanks to the costs and engineering challenges, creating viable LED fluorescent tubes has been difficult. However, cheaper and more durable second generation LED fluorescent tubes are in the works. These tubes should be appropriate for any fluorescent indoor or outdoor lighting design California businesses can develop.
5. Lighting will become more intelligent.
As technology continues to evolve, intelligent lighting controls will link outdoor LED landscape lighting, streetlights, building lights and other systems to reduce costs, save energy and improve efficiency throughout the lighting system.
