The lighting industry is in the midst of major
disruptive changes due to widespread adoption of light-emitting diode
(LED) technology. When sensors, networks, and software are connected or
added to LED infrastructures, the resulting system enables services,
benefits, and revenue streams that exceed the value of lighting alone.
Not only does the LED revolution affect efficiency, cost, demand,
production, and global competition, it allows for more control of
lighting, resulting in more consumer options and higher quality lighting
designs.
