Smart Lighting Made Easy
Connected lighting will become mainstream with a proper
level of standardization.
Interoperability can be viewed at intra-luminaire and inter-
luminaire levels.
Digital drivers will supplant analog drivers to help realize the
full potential of smart lighting.
Wireless protocols will prevail as the inter-luminaire standard.
