Our first issue of ‘Smart Electrician’ was mainly about the almost exponentially expanding Internet of Things. This edition is much more about smart and/or connected lighting.
We presented the first issue of ‘Smart Electrician’ of 2016, designed for all of you who want to go beyond traditional electrical installation and delve into the exciting world of new technologies that are already changing our world.
This is the world of the Internet of course, but also that new buzzword, the Internet of Things (IoT), its industrial counterpart, the Industrial Internet of Things (IoT), as well as smart and connected LED lighting, OLED displays and other marvels.
There are also some new and potentially very exciting ways of making LEDs much more energy efficient. This involves nanotechnology techniques and you’ll find out more in this issue.
Other fascinating new technologies that will bring many new possibilities – including significant extra business opportunities for you – include Wi Fi wireless communication.
Our first issue of ‘Smart Electrician’ was mainly about the almost exponentially expanding Internet of Things.
This edition is much more about smart and/or connected lighting.
It is the very fact that LED lighting is digital that is now making the real waves. Being digital, LEDs are controlled very differently from conventional lamps – and in ways that are opening up entirely new possibilities. One of these is the ability to connect, leading to lighting’s easy integration into the already massively growing IoT. Indeed, Philips considers lighting to be ‘the foundation of the IoT’ – well, it’s certainly one part of that foundation.
So take a look at this issue of ‘Smart Electrician’, which reports on smart lighting, the voice control of lighting and switches, the LED revolution, how lighting can now send promotional messages to shoppers, personalised lighting experiences, connecting lighting to Apple’s watch, plus that exciting nanotechnology development.
