App Integration with Domestic & Commercial LED lighting


Gadgets

LED lighting is beginning to grow in popularity due to their efficient and environmentally friendly make-up that are more durable, customisable and energy saving compared to traditional light bulbs.


With LED light panels creating more light with a significant decline in energy and other types of LED lighting available for use inside and outside, they’re gradually becoming the go-to product. In addition to being one of the most high-tech, atmospheric lighting appliances available, it is now slowly becoming integrated with apps so the user can remain ultimately in control of their atmosphere.

Mobile phones, iPads and other technological devices are starting to be able to be used as remote controls for lighting, televisions, sound and much more. Smart, interconnected devices are brought together in a unified controlled interface allowing you to control your lighting, heating, security, utility, AV and energy management solutions. Most LED lights are individually controllable, designed to work with a universally accessible system.


IOS and Android LED integrated apps don’t just offer you a way of turning your lights on and off without moving, some apps also allow you to pick the colour and brightness you want as well as recreating colours within a specific image. You are also able to schedule, control and fully dim your lights wherever you are using the app, even if you’re not in the house. Bulbs can be controlled independently or in groups depending on the look you want to create. Some apps can even mimic the sunrise by gradually increasing the lighting set for when you’re due to wake up. Some apps use Wifi and others use Bluetooth, so it is completely dependent on the brands of lights you get.

The application of LED lights is endless, however there are five main fields of application – automotive use, backlight sources for consumer electronics, display screens for advertising, electronic equipment and general lighting. The lighting can be used inside or outside and so is also being used for life-science applications such as horticulture. Domestic applications include light bulb replacement, accent lighting and small outdoor lighting. Commercially, applications include fluorescent ballasts, light built replacement and accent lighting. Because the commercial market is very energy conscious, LED lights are perfect for this use due to their higher efficiency, long life, fast operation and intelligent control to provide more optimised lighting. Because of the increasing use of the lighting products, there is an increasing need for more intelligent controllers and drivers.

Remote connectivity through app integration is a key capability for intelligent lighting systems. By networking various components of a lighting system, particularly in commercial uses, the operation of equipment can be co-ordinated and programmed. This means that operators can adjust lighting intensity of an entire installation from a centralised location rather than have to individually adjust each light. In addition to this, some LED lights can not only receive information from the remote control app device, they can also return it, letting operators know if there are any issues such as if an LED has burned out or is performing below a minimum quality threshold.

With technology continually evolving, app integration with domestic and commercial LED lighting is quickly developing in order to catch up. With various apps available on different devices, it is possible to control not only whether the light is on or off, but different colours, hues and many other settings. This technology is also moving into other house appliances, including heating and security, meaning that sooner rather than later, the whole house could be controlled at the touch of a button.
