A non-negligible expense item

For some companies, lighting accounts for up to 50% of total electricity consumption. This significant share makes lighting optimization a key lever for cutting costs and reducing the carbon footprint. 

 

The foundations of smart lighting

Smart lighting schemes use connected LEDs to provide precise control over light intensity and color. Lighting can therefore be tailored seamlessly to the real needs of the workspace. So light is provided only where and when it’s needed. 

These advanced systems include natural light and presence sensors, as well as sophisticated algorithms. They automatically adjust lighting levels according to space occupancy and the availability of natural light.  

 

The benefits of connected LEDs 

 

Energy efficiency and cost reduction 

Companies can now achieve significant energy savings by precisely adjusting lighting levels to their actual needs. The lighting then adapts automatically, avoiding wasted electricity. What’s more, LED bulbs consume up to 90% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs. In fact, this type of low-energy lighting significantly reduces power consumption for equivalent lighting efficiency. 

 

Positive environmental impact 

Connected LED lighting solutions offer a number of additional ecological benefits. Thanks to their durability and longer lifespan compared to traditional lighting, LED technology helps reduce electronic waste and limits the consumption of new resources for replacements. These systems also allow for fine brightness and color adjustment, helping to combat light pollution effectively. 

 

Improved comfort and productivity 

In addition to its economic and ecological advantages, smart lighting helps create more pleasant working environments. Better lighting quality means increased employee well-being and productivity. The result is a more dynamic and stimulating workspace. 

Integrating smart lighting into a company’s energy strategy is a forward-thinking move that aligns financial goals with sustainable development priorities.
