Toward to “Lighting 4.0” era – The “Right Smart Lighting” Challenge
Résumé
Artificial light production absorbs around 2 900 TWh corresponding 16,5% of the world’s electricity annual production. Historically speaking, past century’s research and development focused on single energy efficacy enhancement. The only massive adoption of SSLs during the next years can contribute to harness electricity use for lighting, up to 4% by 2030. Today, we are witnessing a transition from the conventional “analogue” lighting technologies to “digital” lighting. The objective is witching to smart human-centric lighting driven by both “application efficiency” and “quality of light”. Next gen lighting systems should provide the “Right Light” with the best efficiency and quality, when and where it is needed.
