LTECH: More than Just Lighting!

Over the years, India has witnessed an evolution

of homes. From big families living together in
relatively small homes to nuclear families now
living in relatively large spaces. This has also
changed the way consumers invest in interiors
and lighting. There is a constant search for
modern and cost-efficient solutions.
When it comes to lighting, gone are the days
when only top hotels or big corporate offices
would invest in lighting automation.
Nowadays, most homes and offices are
equipped with some form of automation.
Consumers are consciously investing in
automation due to its comfort, ease of use,
and power efficiency.
Lighting Then & Now
In the past, lighting was a mere solution to the darkness,
but things have changed today. It has now evolved to
provide for more, such as, complementing the interiors,
or to set the mood of a room! Earlier, it was only
museums that used intelligent lighting to magnify and
highlight the artistic objects. Nevertheless, with the
improved house and office interiors, consumers are
willing to invest in lighting that looks aesthetically nice,
and also in lighting control systems that are capable of
catering to multiple needs and demands.
Consumers now want to have features such as
colour adjustment which doesn’t just change
the colour of the light from warm to cool or
transition into colourful party lights but also set
the vibe of the room. This enhanced lighting
experience is the need of the hour! Lighting
companies across the globe are constantly
innovating and tapping into the smart lighting
industry to meet these ever-changing needs.
Lighting & Health
Initially, it was assumed that only certain light
rays from digital devices were harmful.
Nevertheless, as more academicians and
health professionals researched the topic, it
was brought to notice that several other forms
of lighting contact humans encounter on a day-
to-day basis can have a significant impact on
their health in the form of reduced vision,
disturbed sleep cycle, altered brain activity etc.
 As concerned and informed consumers, individuals
have started consulting lighting experts for concerns
that reach far and beyond aesthetics and investing
in quality lighting controls to ensure lighting
solutions that help in addressing the above-
mentioned issues. For instance, by regulating the
intensity and wavelength of light−and hence
melatonin levels in the body−during different hours
of the day, smart lighting solutions can help
improve the sleep-wake cycle.
