In a time when the whole world is looking for ways to improve the quality of life on our planet, controlling lights may seem like a minor thing. But the opposite is true. Smart control and dimming of lights play a key role not only in saving energy, but also in protecting the environment.

Lights that save energy

Light is an essential part of our lives. It creates atmosphere, enables work and relaxation and is important for our health. However, inefficient and excessive lighting has a huge impact on energy consumption. This is where smart lights with control come in.

Thanks to modern systems, lighting can be adjusted as needed - dimming luminaires, switching them off automatically or adjusting the light intensity to the time of day. These features save energy, extend the life of the luminaires and reduce maintenance costs.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), digitalisation of buildings, including the use of smart thermostats, controllers and intelligent lighting, can reduce total energy consumption in residential and commercial buildings by up to 10% between 2017 and 2040.

Light pollution: a Hidden Problem

Excessive artificial light, especially in cities, causes light pollution. This negatively affects not only humans but also animals, which lose their bearings or have their natural biorhythms disrupted. Light control can reduce this problem - for example, by automatically dimming public lighting at night or turning off lights in unused areas.

How can light control help the planet?

Smart light control has the potential to significantly reduce our carbon footprint. Combined with LED technology and renewable energy sources, modern lighting systems can reduce global energy consumption by several percent. What's more, all of this can be implemented in homes as well as in industrial or public spaces.

In buildings, for example, lights can be set to automatically dim depending on whether a room is occupied, and in streets, lights can only turn on when they detect motion.

Spectoda: Solutions for efficient light control

In Spectoda, we believe that smart light control is a step towards a more sustainable future. Our technology makes it easy to control the intensity, colour and switching on and off of lighting. Whether it's a school, office or production hall, we save energy while bringing maximum comfort to users. An example is our implementation in the Mileta factory.
