Designing Adaptive Lighting Systems with Digital Light Sources

Recorded On: 08/09/2021

About this Seminar Session

Each year, the IES hosts an Annual Conference. In 2021, the Annual Conference is offered virtually.

Description: Adaptive lighting systems can provide a wealth of value and functionality to many lighting applications, but their adoption has been minimal so far due to technology limitations and complexity. In this session we will review the state of the art in digital light source technology and relevant optics and controls technologies to educate the audience on what is possible with these latest technological advances and commercially available components. We will then discuss several practical use cases with quantifiable benefits, including energy savings, visual performance, installation cost, and new functionalities, to help attendees identify potential applications in their own field and guide implementation.
