Description

Now that LED energy efficiencies are nearing their maximum values, and lighting is now so energy efficient that energy drivers no longer play a strong role in SSL adoption, does that mean the SSL revolution is over? This talk will review remaining directions for SSL evolution, and focus on some new drivers for LED lighting design and applications that might help keep the revolution going. Beyond the frontiers of Lighting for Human Well Being and LiFi for 5G, this talk explores topics like Dynamic Occupant Centric Lighting (and the future of lighting controls) and how the evolution of micro-LED displays can enable a future fusion of Illumination and video technologies.
