LED TRENDS OF 2017 THAT CHANGED THE FACE OF LIGHTING INDUSTRY The lighting industry observes some innovative trends every year, and 2017 was no exception. From non-visible LED lights to smart lighting, the world of LEDs witnessed several trends in the year gone by. Here are some of these exciting trends to take note of. Non-visible LEDs The use of non-visible LEDs moving far beyond the security industries to biometrics and agricultural industries hint at a changing scenario with more focus on the non-visible light spectrum. The strong price competition in the LED market has caused this paradigm shift where LED manufacturers are looking for innovative options that can lead to better profitability for them in the long run and non-visible LEDs like Ultraviolet
(UV) or Infrared (IR) LEDs are some of these options. Even though technology in this field of LED lighting is still in its nascent stage, the increasing demand for these lights does signal at changing trends in the lighting industry. Customized LED Lighting Lighting is one of the most crucial components of any building, and just like any décor and utility option, lighting also poses a challenge when it comes to meeting the unique needs of different infrastructural facilities. 2017 saw many LED manufacturers fulfilling the exclusive needs of industries and providing customized LED lights to meet their interior décor, parking, outdoors and other such lighting requirements. This not only helped the manufacturers to increase their profitability but also enabled the clients to stand out from their competitors with lighting options that are tailor-made for their needs. Warm Tones For customers who couldn’t stand the bluish white color of the very early LED lights, the past year showed some great lighting options with warm tones – a welcoming shift from the cool and natural tones. Warm toned LEDs emanate a color that ranges from golden yellow to red and doesn’t produce a bright effect. Thus, these lights are perfect for use in bedrooms and lounge areas where relaxation is the key motive. Warm white LED lights are around 3000K, unlike the cool white LEDs which are around 5000K. LED & the IoT Seamless interconnectivity has transformed the way humans live. And LED manufacturers left no stone unturned to foray into this world of the Internet of Things (IoT). With smart lighting options, LED companies have developed IoT-enabled LED systems that not only connect LEDs with the rest of the devices in a facility but also help them achieve greater profitability. From LEDs that are controlled by augmented reality
applications to connected LEDs that are equipped with sensors and microprocessors, there is a lot that has been achieved with smart lighting or IoT combined with LED. Such lighting, apart from turning on and off when needed, can also collect data about the usage, people gathered in the room, etc. This data, then, can be analyzed to understand how to get the optimum utilization of lighting resources. This is particularly important in large office spaces where it is necessary to save resources and to provide a better working environment to the employees with lighting that understands their needs and adjusts to them accordingly. One of the most notable achievements of the LED revolution is the pace at which it is transforming the lighting industry. Last year, we came across some promising developments and, the past trends do reveal that the future is all set to be even brighter with more innovate LED trends in the offing.
