Are you looking to improve lighting at your facility? Choosing the right lighting for your business can increase energy savings, maximize your occupant experience, and increase employee happiness and productivity. Using smart lighting systems in your facility can improve operations, boost production, and save you money.
A natural approach
Many of today’s smart lighting systems focus on a natural approach, delivering human-centric lighting (HCL), which is designed to mimic natural light patterns inside the building for better health. Some of the documented benefits generated by natural light include reduced eye strain, increased cognitive function, decreased seasonal affective disorders, better rest, and higher job satisfaction. Studies show that natural lighting in the workplace can increase employee productivity by up to 15 per cent, too.
By integrating a lighting system that relies on providing simulated natural light sources, your business may be able to improve employee wellness, decrease absenteeism, and increase office productivity.
Collecting data
Evolved smart lighting systems provide facility and maintenance managers with real-time data through AI-driven insights and integrated technologies. Integrating your smart lighting system with other technology can help maintenance and facility managers better manage their buildings. By analyzing occupancy patterns, electricity consumption, and user preferences, smart lighting can help businesses better allocate their resources and lower their energy costs. This data can help optimize efficiency and identify more opportunities for cost savings.
With the addition of AI, predictive lighting can provide data to help improve your usage over the long term. This approach can save on energy costs, as well as prolong the lifespan of your lighting system by better allocating its use.

Remote control
As technology continues to progress, managers can increasingly monitor and control their systems remotely.. Smart lighting allows remote access to turn lights on and off, re-program timers, adjust sensors, monitor data, and more. This flexibility means that managers can address issues and adjust for optimized performance anytime, anywhere.
Smart lighting can help maintenance and facility managers achieve an optimal working environment, decrease energy usage, and gather data to continue to optimize efficiency for their business.
